Also with an aftermarket exhaust it would be closer to 300HP. Either way, that kind of power increase is not bad for $1K considering you will be still under the 100K mile warrantee. I would rather buy a reprogram from the original engineers of the platform than from someone that has nothing to do with the original design of the engine, it just makes more sense to me!

no.. I have to disagree...

Maybe an IC, or Cat-Back... but... not a turbo.. thats gotta cost much more. But, I am sticking with "No modifications to the car"

I spoke to the guy before the announcement, and man.. I cant remember how he specifically said it when we spoke... but it was pretty clear to me it was an ECU/ECM (whatever they are called) tune only.

Besides... would be pretty crappy of him to make that announcement and then find out later on ya needed other things.

also.... guys over in the Solstice forum have been discussing this for a month.
It's official SETUP announces GMPP STAGE KIT for GXP - Page 2 - Pontiac Solstice Forum

in fact... post 61 from brentil, about a month ago... has the specs 100% on the mark

An early Redline made right after the turbo shutdown, I have powerlocks, but no power seat.
