anyone know of a good shop to have my 16v rebuilt at ? a transmission gone through limmitted slip dif. installed ? i am planning to pull my gli into the garage this winter and give the old girl a good going over.

yes, talk to Wes @ ICM (internal combustion machine) in bozeman, corner of wilson and babcock. hes redone mine and the work was exceptional! pretty damn cheap too

We gonna turn him into the 16V master. He has Robs too.

i got icm's # i will call next week and see if i can get an estimate. does anyone have any experiance with what works with these motors to get more power out of them? is it possible to bump the stock hp #s by 50 or so, without going to the added expence of a turbo? what has anyone done, or has seen done, that works?

I'm running the Borla catback, TT Euro Spec cams, and TT chip on my 9A. Like I've said before we should go for a spin to compare sometime. (this is trevor by the way)

hey trevor, we should get together i have seen you here in livingston a few times i'm guessing you were working. but if your over and have some extra time you should stop by. give me a call, i will pm you my phone #. is the sunday gtg going on any more? oh, and congratulations!

there isnt much power to be found in 16v's without boost, people spend thousands and thousands trying to break even 200 HP naturally aspirated and many dont achieve. cams a chip, good intake and exhause will be enough tho!

im gonna break 200 n/a without itb's........ .......hahahhahahahaha......i wish

great article.... i dont take everything on vortex as law, but good info and a rough area to work from

i checked out the link to vortics the twin carb set up sure looked clean,and i bet it would sound cool. any opinions on carb set ups on the 16v? i'm guessing you would also need a new ignition set up. just the look alone makes me want to go that route
