guess i spook to soon, i called the place i bought the car this morning to tell him what i thought of him. and instead i started out a little nicer, he told me to stop driving the car, came over with a loaner( 2003 GP GT IM THINKING ABOUT BUYING IT TO) and said he would do what ever the car needed. i was stuned to say the least. i hope some day i can return the big favor you all did for me this weekend i was lost and didnt have a clue as to what it might be. this forum is the reasion the internet is so great.

thank you
Dennis

I will lay money that you have coolant in your oil causing that sound.

Wilwren, when i said zero for the boost gauge, it'* not what i meant. I was tired when i typed that. What i meant is around the first negative line, i believe it'* -10psi? Anyway, nice catch.

I have the same problem with my car. The problem the difference being that it makes the noise instantly after the oil is changed and only started making the noise when i put my CAI on. I thought it was just the engine warming up. There is no coolant ion my oil and i run amsoil 20w 50 what could be wrong

that would be(20/50) COLD MOLLASSES.
just think what his MPG would be with 5/30 synthetic oil.

OMG. I just noticed he'* in WI. And it'* still winter.

SHOman, 20-50 may be something the SHO guys run, but our oil galleries and bearings were designed and built to run 10W-30. You're going to kill that motor.
