The swap looks great sitting in there. Interior could use some TLC but we all know the most important part is getting that monster under the hood right than start to play with the interior after its all running good. good luck....

The pics look good but IMO between your car, TTurbopimps and blulex's car I'd have to say Adrains car wins hands down in looks even though the other two cars are TT There's nothin like a Chromed out completely chromed out engine

sorry to be blunt, but TTurbopimps and Bluelex's cars are in a totally different league than this car.

How much harder is it to do the 6spd swap?

This is something i want to do down the road but if i do it.... it has to be 6spd.

Shout out to svt5150 thanks for the good comment. For the rest i ain't here to compare cars with nobody just wanted to show yall what i have done so far. Anyways thanks for all replies, will post up pix after car goes in the shop for new paint in a couple of weeks. Wheels and interior will come along jus one thing at a time. As far as hp goes im expexting atleast 700 but on sp website that turbo kit sp 72 i have is rated at 875 with the right set up and i have all the set up they require.

we can sit here and compare all these nice FI cars and say i like "------" better... HOWEVER, we are all forgetting one thing... each one of these cars is VERY ORIGINAL and very well done. there have been many swaps, but bluelex's is the cleanest... there have been a few GS400TT, but TTurbopimp's is one of the nicest (if not the nicest) and i can only think 1 OTHER 6 speed swap into a GS and i give GS3power a TON of credit for gettin it done it looks real nice and clean inside that engine. cant wait to see the rest of the pics when the car is "done" keep up the good work man

IMO, I would go for a 67DBB. That is looking to be a great turbo.
