    well I was out pulling stuff out of my engine bat that I no longer require on the GT.

    I took the cover off, and what did I find? well I will tell you........

    all around my upper intake, as well as the lower Intake manifold by the heads....puddles and puddles of coolant. I can smell coolant when my engine gets warm......guess now I know why...

    its so bad my injectors are just caked under road grime and dirt.

    hmmmmm. time to do my top swap sooner than expected....

    The car is running fine.....no misses or anything like that, or coolant in the oil. I am just getting coolant all over the exterior.....I think my UIM is leaking as well as the lower. at least its 40 out right now


    Scotty, I am not going to waste my money on an STS kit, when I can make my own for half that.....lol

    I have stock heads, and LIM from my 2001 that I can just slap on here and call it a day. all I need to do is get a low mileage blower....or a gen 5.

    well, for that it wouldnt be too hard...turbo could sit where a muffler would go on stock exhaust.
