Sweet two door GTP. They don't make too many two door cars any more. The Vibe would be cool as a two door.

Love the GPGTP!!!! I also think the Monster sticker is def implying something there; performance tweaks or just bc it looks like a monster?

gtp im not sure on hp/tq numbers... but it goes 13.6s...and the s/c is getting ditched later this month for this gem... Quote »The T3/T4 Hybrid turbochargers consist of a T3 turbine section, (Stage I, Stage II, Stage III or the Stage V Trim) and a T4 compressor section (T04B trim or T04E trim). This combination offers the low inertia and fast boost response of the lightweight T3 turbine wheel and the high-airflow characteristics of the T4 compressor family. We stock T3/T04e turbochargers with the 62-1 compressor wheel as well as our new custom T04e-66 turbo. The exhaust housing is standard T3 4 bolt inlet and 5 bolt outlet. These turbos can be used with our swing-valve assembly or an external wastegate. Exhaust AR ratio is .82 and the turbine wheel is a stage 5. These turbos make impressive power numbers on 3800 motors while still retaining a quick, responsive spool.
