I'm wondering how they are going to extract a lot more power out of the engine when the turbocharger is already maxed from the factory. I understand turning up the boost but that's going to significantly shorten the life of the turbo by over spinning it.

Yeah why the **** did they change from SC to Turbo. SC is much easier and forgiving to work with and not to mention cheaper. Did they just want the car to be like as fast or super close to EVO's and STi's at a cheaper price so they will get more sales? Wtf GM wtf.
