This Is What I Found Out Last Night
I have not built any turbos since DEC. When i go to work this afternoon i will ask the plant supervisor if the are only doing special orders. We ride motorcycles hes a good dude. Also the loading dock for the motors is near me and i have not seen any turbo motor blocks unloaded since DEC. They usually stock pile the blocks prior to us building them because we do about 400 per shift. They might be saving money on parts. The turbo blocks are a special order for us. They might be waiting to get a large SS order in. So if you ordered a SS dont hold your breath to get it on time. I will post the info tonight when i get home around 1am.
Also talked to union rep last night. The Cruze is still on track and GM told them the Cruze is a major priority to turn the company around. They now have the ability to build 6 different models from this platform in our plant. Which i am guessing SS coupes and sedans even might be a convertible in the mix.

I dont think the cruze is gms way to make a turn around. i honestly think that they would make more money if they keep the cobalt. There are alot of people who buy them because they are good cars.

Well good news for the guys that want turbos. They pulled me off line putting trannys on to build TURBOS. A truck came in today with the blocks but no cars built yet. I built 20 turbos tonight. They told me to build them till the racks are empty. I am on 1 week on 1 week off. So i will call the dayturn guy next week to get his total of what he built. I think the way everbodies talking we are building them till the models change to the Cruze. But they are waiting to get big orders before building them. The Turbos are hard to build. They are all on the same line as the G-5 and Cobalts 2dr 4 dr. You have to watch the build sheet to make the car that is ordered.
