Full Built GTS

Hi guys

My build start on my GTS Edition 1.
it will be full build engine with forged internals bigger turbos and downpipes. I chose GAD for that task.
The gearbox will be updated too.
The goal would be 950+ hp on cranckshaft.

Thanks for sharing. GAD is putting down ridiculous numbers. Curious how they get that rear end to both hookup and not grenade.

Very impressive. I imagine you'll be needing wider tires/wheels to put all that power down. Have an ideas on what you'll choose yet?

Awesome! I'm also looking at a Weistec water-meth kit. I originally looked at this as a way to help keep the intake valves cleaner.

After looking at the Weistec water/meth kit you may want to rethink, Methanol is highly corrosive to aluminum and may eat away at the charge cooler cores over time.
The water/meth injectors should be placed in the discharge pipe not the hot side.
