FS: Turbo Alero - Page 2

homegrown · 03-19-2009, 02:40 PM

the shop did the tranny. Total cost was about $2,000 after you factor in the limited slip. but that does not include the first $2,000 that I paid to the jack ass, Ty, at Domestic Performance to do my tranny rebuild years i ago. I mailed him the tranny and a downpayment. and I never got anything back. I was fortunate to find a brand new transmission out of a car with only 10 miles on it from the junkyard for $600. but i did everything else by myself and with the help of some smart engineers. I have more money wrapped into that car than I care to think about as I am sure some of you other guys can relate to...

i forgot to attach a pic of the front. here it is!

TTT...still for sale Dave?

homegrown · 05-03-2009, 09:44 AM

yeah still is...do you know any interested parties? :-) how is your ride doing these days?

SilverGAGT2002 · 05-03-2009, 11:25 AM

Are those tog headers? How hard was it to get them to fit into the turbo?

Grandamgtblk99 · 05-03-2009, 12:24 PM

Those are custom turbo headers. You cant use the TOG headers without cutting into them with a turbo.

homegrown · 05-03-2009, 02:27 PM

yes...custom indeed...custom expensive. i had the flanges cnc cut out of stainless matched to the D shaped gaskets (at my work). i cheated a little bit and bought stainless merge collectors and then peiced everything together to fit with mandrel bent tubing. i built them with my roommates in college. all that student loan money was good for something!
