I'm pretty bitter about this. At first I was very amped when I heard about a warranty supported HP upgrade. Now that General Motors has effectively sh!t itself financially I'm thinking this is pretty low priority for them at the moment.

Oh well, I did find a good tuner in my neck of the woods. I suppose I can just say F the warranty and go drop some retardedly large aftermarket turbo into the car. I'll hold out a while longer until Winter but I'm skeptical at best now.

The ECU controls the boost levels on our car. When it realizes it's unable to control it, it goes into reduced power mode and lets you do nothing.

We shouldn't even be having this discussion. The Sky Redline should be 300hp from the factory. The Evo X has a turbo 2.0L with 291hp.
