this engine is built for racing so it should hold power very well, im still curious why gm went with a supercharger on such a small engine? if they would have went turbo on the ss it would have ate an srt-4 and been way more upgradable. the only reason i can think of why they went supercharged is due to reliabilty concerns but any one who wants real power knows there will be reliabilty problems

Frank, I've been wondering how this kit matches up to the upcoming hahn kit. Both kits seem nice, w/good parts on either, could you give some input on the difference?

i dont understand the psi thing. i believe it stands for pounds per square inch, which is referring probably to the air being forced in by the turbo. you say no upgrades are needed to run your stage 3 as long as you stay under 8psi. that seems weak then because the ss/sc are pushing 12-14psi. if im not mistaken, then i wouldnt be getting the whole 90 hp that the turbo offers considering that its $3500. i dont know anything about it. i wouldnt even know how to set the "psi". someone enlighten me.

And yes, PSI = Pounds per Square Inch = the amount of air being forced in by the turbocharger. More PSI = More Boost = More Power

The quality of our kits will be just as good, we'll have track times and dyno numbers to prove it, AND we'll be able to back everything up by a warranty...just like Hahn.

you can't keep the header on there because the turbo manifold and turbo itself will be taking its place
as for the intake you can't really keep that either as the intake piping would now be coming off the turbo so it will be routed different.

The setup should be around $3500 with a two year warranty on the turbo itself, and then a one year warranty on the intercooler and manifold. All other parts (pipes, lines, etc) have the normal 14-day return policy.
Installation usually takes anywhere from 10-12 hours. For a shop to do it, you're probably looking at anywhere between $700 - $900, but it really just depends on what shop you go to...
Thanks!

Yep, you'll need to use 91 or higher unfortunately.
Snowman - Are you serious?! That is some AWESOME news. Sounds like the only thing that I'll need to change around is the intake piping...GREAT! Thanks for the heads up

they will eventually come out with auto tranny upgrades such as new valve bodies and such, which will help out those people out there that are auto.......such as me
