no its not, your gonna have to call them

In general (I realize you're looking for information on that specific vehicle) you can find some information in the GM Media Archives on the 2003 Ion here: 2003 Saturn Ion

Sarah, GM Customer Service

Granted the car is almost 10 years old but yet brand new, I think that really 15k is not that bad when you look at what a Kia costs and what you get here.

gm customer service you need to find me the horsepower of this beast! I wanna know!

Stock, the 2.2L Ecotec inline 4-cylinder, 16-valve engine had 140 horsepower.

"It features dual balance shafts and hydraulic engine mounts for smooth, quiet operation. The strong low-end torque provides quick acceleration onto the highway or away from traffic lights." (taken from the Product Information Guide).

"Any more brain-busters?" Billy Madison :guns:

Just having some fun - I blame the caffeine. And a long weekend!

It's turbocharged!!!! It's a qc/t concept car! So I know it has more than the stock model! So again, how much HP????

I seen maybe 1 or 2 tops. That or spitting image replicas. Best stock Saturn I've ever seen hence why I could pick this out of a line up lol

Press release from Nov 2002 says this about the car:

Saturn ION QC/T
ASC has created a performance and styling package for the all-new Saturn
ION Quad Coupe. The Quad Coupe was designed with personalization in mind, and
this year's SEMA concept car brings that idea to life. The Saturn ION QC/T
concept was developed in conjunction with Saturn to catch the imagination of
the younger performance-minded drivers.
ASC designed and produced a composite sport hood with functional scoop and
new Saturn badge, unique front and rear chin spoilers, rocker moldings, and
spoiler stanchions. Saturn added carbon fiber roof rails. Twistech's ECOTEC
turbocharger kit kicked up the engine power, while Motegi Racing's 18 x 7.5-
inch MR7 wheels, Bridgestone's 225/40ZR-18 Potenza RE 730 tires, and SSBC's
four-wheel disc brakes provided the ION QC/T a performance stance. ASC
painted the roof gloss black and tinted the windows to complete the ION QC/T
"attitude."
"This is a driver's car," said Mark Trostle, president of ASC Creative
Services. "The spoiler stanchions alone changed the dynamic of the vehicle.
Add to that the rocker moldings and hood treatment and you're zeroing in on
the younger performance-minded driver who is also looking for value."

The turbo kit was made by Twistec. They made another setup for a company called Fox Marketing. Pics are here:

If you compare the engine bay shots, the only differences appear to be the pipe routing which probably had to do with the QC/T and the functional hood.

That kit made for Fox Marketing was put up for sale here:

5 - Twistec custom intercooler with endtanks

In that same thread, it also looks like it got walked by an MR2 in 2006


Bored again. Think that covers everything.

Twistech was involved. Do not want.
