Own a 2008 SS just want to offer you a couple of advise: Try your best to use ONLY premium gas from TOP TIER gas stations. It will run on low grade but it doesn't like it. You'll hear some engine noise. Keep an eye on the oil. If it's burning oil try adding the STP Synthetic Oil Treatment (yellow bottle) at oil change. This fixed the slight oil burning issue for me. I really enjoy driving it. The Automatic is not the fastest from the get go (a bit heavy) but when it's going it's hard to beat it. The other thing is the throttle response is very laggy and to fix that I got the Pedal Commander and set it to City +4 for normal driving. Works well. It's a very reliable car. Fun to drive.

Thank you for making this video, finally somebody put something on RU-vid to show us how the turbo comes off these cars. I have a red one as you can see. My turbo is doing fine, just wanted to see how it comes off. I assumed it had to be dropped from underneath. I do have a question about the downpipe: Does the other end of the downpipe bolt to the side of the turbo where the exhaust gas comes out? I just cannot picture this in my head on how the downpipe turns 45 degrees to bolt up to the exhaust underneath the car. I am talking about the side of the downpipe that has the 4 bolt holes, and not the side where there are 3. Am I missing something? Is there like a 45 degree part not shown in the video? The heat shield is on my car so I cannot look to reveal how the downpipe is positioned. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated. Good job by the way on accomplishing this. Now put that car back together and give it a nice shine. Thanks again. Cheers!

Thanks for the comment! The turbo has a o2 housing that bolts onto it which turns tight to meet with the downpipe that goes straight back

@@Gilligan.Garage Hey sorry it took so long to reply:) I now see what you are talking about I went out to my car and I see the o2 housing you were talking about. Now it all makes sense. Hopefully I will not have to mess with my turbo, so far my car is running strong at 169,000 miles on the body and trans, and 32,000 miles on the second engine that went in it. The original engine lasted 1 year after I bought my car:( Turns out I bought my car with a bad head gasket and never knew it. $4,000 dollars later and a whole week without my car, it is now fixed and runs properly,. Hey if you make more videos about your car, I would love to see:) it was nice chatting. Thanks again.🙂

Hey just watched your video again I always enjoy it:) I have another question, was the intake difficult to remove? How did you go about doing it?

@Gilligan.Garage 2 месяца назад

The intake tube to the turbo is pretty easy to remove. You have to use a flat head on the clamp that connects to the box. The box itself I believe pops off some rubber grommets and pulls out(double check on this because mine is missing the rubbers). After that you just have to unplug the MAF, the pcv hose, and then use a flat head on where the intake tube connects to the turbo
