Thanks for all the comments on the turbo shield. 5 guys from the GXP forum already PM`ed me for how to get one. Ed`s going to be cranking out alot of these soon, so if you have`nt ordered one yet I would get it in before he gets back logged.

I'm off to the dealer tomorrow (Wednesday) in Riverhead. They're going to replace the sway bar bushings, check out the front shocks and check the tightness of the exhaust flange. I've been hearing a bit throatier exhaust sound recently and I know several of you have had the flange bolts on the turbo outlet loosen up, so I want that checked.
Can anyone think of any other pre-season adjustments I might need?
Nope Chris, you pretty much covered it all, that should keep you running smooth all summer.You shouldn't need any rear end work because you have a 2008...
Rich, Ed's Turbo Shield Cover looks fantastic. I saw it in person at Captree before it was mounted and now seeing it on your car it's an amazing transformation of that area. Hey GM take note. Great job Ed, you rock.

ya she know's but she was more worried about the BWI cause they be hidding in the bushes at least on the tpke you can kind of see them and slow down and act like your just another car in a bunch when you know your 1 in a millon.
