GTM SC Install by Baker Tuning
 
I had my GTM SC kit installed by Jason at Baker Tuning, I have put about 5,000 miles on it and I have not had one issue what so ever. I am a firm believer in the quality of GTM products and also impressed with the quality of workmanship and knowledge of Jason at Baker Tuning.

14 people in here LOL, the re-circs on the passenger side had to be cut and re-welded to fit properly, also one of the bolts on the passenger side downpipe couldn't be put in because of the angle of the downpipe. You could see where Jason had tried to get it to go in. I don't know why this is or if it's an issue on all GTM kits(I'm sure it's not)l. As far as the kit itself its beautiful and top notch, as far as the install, it appears to be done well and looks like Jason went over everything more than once. Of course after any new install you need to retighten the bolts down on the exhaust side after a few heat cycles. Ron is happy and I think that's all that matters. I know his install took a good bit of time, but it is what it is. No need to throw popcorn into his build thread.

^ Very true!

Yeah ladies, stop fighting :icon17: I'm happy with GTM, I'm happy with Baker and I'm happy with Jtran. Builds will always have bumps to overcome. I am now getting some codes looked at. Will update soon.

Looks great Ron ! And super nice gains, especially in TQ. :tup:

I have 22,000 miles on my Baker/GTM TT build, and not one issue. Jason took his time installing mine, and I have nothing but good things to say. My stock clutch is just now going out but I don't think that is anyone's fault there. I have a street tune done by Sam and could not be happier. My tune works now, and the first time I ran the car. I am glad some of us are keeping it classy.

Quick question: How many GTM GTX builds are there ???

Ron 04-27-2012 12:12 PM

Just one :D

i want TT sooooo bad. Wife would quit me though. Oh well, maybe in a few years.

Good stuff Ron

Quick update as promised.

Car was throwing a couple of codes:

P0106 and P006A: MAP sensor codes bc we did not disabled them on the tune we loaded. I went into limp mode once because of this which scared the sh1t out of me. The car made some weird chattering noises while in this mode when I got on the throttle, I cleared the code, restarted the car and the engine was back to being super smooth. I stayed out of boost until the codes were disabled under DTC in uprev.

P0420 and 430: Catalyst system error, again we disabled these on uprev since I no longer have cats.

P0300: random/multiple cylinder misfire. Still not sure on what caused this, FSM says check spark plugs, coils, injectors etc. Johnny made a couple of adjustments to my fuel table and I have not gotten the code since, we'll see.

The only problem I am having now is a clicking noise under the dash near the accel pedal when I'm above 2500rpm, the higher the rpms the faster the clicking.. I found this TSB that describes my issue exactly, but I am not sure if this is indeed what is going on:

That heater core problem sounds like something Jason could fix for ya. And it might be due to the draining of the radiator and such. Sounds like a quick easy fix though.

Ron 04-28-2012 08:50 AM

Yeap, already talked to him, he offered to look at it today but I have to work. I will take it Tuesday.

Thanks mister, good luck with the move!

I actually had the same noise that drove me crazy. Ended up being my waste gate recirc pipe tapping on the firewall. Might be something to check.
