Is it just me or was there no boost guage included with the kit? I don't even see a mention of one anywhere. My plan was (if I were to go with a turbo kit down the road) request the A-pillar from Chevy from the SS and install that in my LS and then modify the housing if I needed to to fit my boost guage for my turbo, but it seems this kit doesn't come with one.
As well, would installing a turbo kit (any stage) void the factory warranty even if done by a licensed GM shop?
Thanks,

Looks like I'm going to have to make some tough decisions before I start soaking money into modding my LS. I had originally lined up some modifications which could have gained 100hp if not more which would also require rebuilding a number of components, but if all the modifications will void my warranty I'm no longer sure if they're worth it...

7 PSI and 200 WHP according to the owner.

the stock internals should be fine as long as the psi stays at the stock levels when raising the psi you need to strenghten the tranny and the internals like low comp pistons and sleeves and maybe some crower rods

installing a turbo kit will not void the warranty. the only time a warranty is voided is if it is discovered that the turbo kit was the cause of the problem. For example if you crack a rod and you try to bring it in to be fixed under warranty and they determine that an unproperly tuned turbo kit was the result then your warranty will become void.
Simply installing the kit does not do anything...

It will void the warranty on you engine... potentially drive train.. brakes... stuff associated with having more power...
If your headlights stop working... those are covered... your warranty is complex and is only void if you change something... and only that part and things very directly affected are void....
if you put a Turbo in your car it doesnt become COMPLETELY VOIDED WARRANTY... but dont go and ask them why you blew your motor

I like the idea of having a turbo (love the noise it makes
) but don't want to take a chance of blowing something and all the repairs coming out of my pockets.Thanks Chevy,
