Stupid factory warranty! Stupid Stupid! I want that. Will put HP up to around 235. Zoom Zoom

 

lol, yeah that's some nice power improvement.

I am still waiting for upgrade kits for the SS!

 

yea thats my buddy frank's company cavalierextreme.com, he is a great guy and is really helpful and has sold lots of kits, i do business with him all the time

 

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,

i dont think it comes with one, and most likely yes it will void warranty

 

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...

do i need any other mods if i get a turbo for my 2.2?

 

You may want to upgrade your rods and cyls to something that will handel the workload better.

 

I saw a Sweet rear turbo setup at the Bash that was done by Squires turbo. The turbo is mounted in near the muffler.

7 PSI and 200 WHP according to the owner.

 

yea, but those are used for RWD only i thought?

 

i hear those arent as reliable or more of a pain or something, theres some reason that those kind of turbo set ups arent as good as normal ones, i just cant think of it now

 

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

 

I'm actually looking into buying this at somepoint...Hey wikky do you think you could have him scavenge some pictures of it on a car or anything?...Would be cool to see how much fun ill have installing it :P!!!...Awesome car by the way

 

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...

 

turbos do tend to break stuff.....and thanks for the comment clean!

 

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

 

E-mail me if you have any questions: admin@maximumboost.net I'm the owner of the company

 

That's what I figured and is part of the reason I've been leaning towards the GMP S/C for the 2.2L whenever it hits the market. At least this part is sponsored by GM and covered by the warranty, and I would assume since it's tested and certified by GM there would be no complications if something were to happen.

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,

Frank hey im in orlando florida, maybe one day i can bring you my cobalt and you give me some tips and im interested in buying that turbo very much so!!

 

Cool man. I think you just e-mailed me

 

I'm pretty sure that if you up the boost on the supercharger kit and blow the engine they would take the same actions as they would with a turbo kit. Its almost the same thing...

 

Frank Mckeever rips people off! dont buy from him, my friend ordered an intake off him and he took a month to ship it!!!!! then he says " oh ya this makes the CEL on on too" and the engine Bogs out... then finally we get the intake and its ****** missin parts!!!!
im just warning you people ok!

 

he doesnt sell that intake anymore now he learned it doesnt work right

 

he should offer a return then to those who purchased it
