Keeping the stock intercooler might advantageous because it would obviously save plumbing, weight, simplfy things and save money. Although for ultimate cooling FMIC would be best.

Bill,
I to have thought about the extra air flow thats possible on that side of the block, the intake is a "hodgepodge" of parts crammed together.....
my question is simple....
with your turbo kit will you be useing an empty blower case as a intake hat or will you be makeing a custom pice?
my guess is custom but then we run into the issue of electrical system charging, with the LSJ alt only able to spin one direction(the pulley is clutched) how will you solve this issue?

We will have an effective alternator solution that retains the stock alternator.
...i still think a return line would be the best bet..like the srt 4's
FWIW, we've tried very hard to love the stock intercooler system, but like the blower, it was designed for the heat loading of the stock power level, and not much more. And retaining it means retaining the heinous airflow shortcomings of the stock manifold, which is a virtual labyrinth of twists and sharp turns...
As with our other offerings, an oversized FMIC will be standard

These items are yet to be determined. We will strive to keep it affordable, and as powerful as can safely be achieved.
This system will be end-user tunable. To what extent is yet to be determined, but as we've already demonstrated with our product for Solstice/Sky and now 2.4 Cobalt, we aren't locking you in to canned tunes that aren't capable of compensating for every possible modification and/or climate.

Yes reliable and powerful are the best two things when getting a big build done. I have total confidence that Hahn will be able to do both of those things. Look at their other project cars in the past not to mention their unbelieveable pontiac sunfire! I have a buddy with a turbo Cavalier from Hahn and yet to have a problem! And its fast as hell! total sleeper! I can not wait for the release for this kit! Bill Hahn is a great guy and Im not angry that he took this long to get this kit done. He is doing it right the first time and this way you have no problems!!!! WOOT! RANT DONE!

This is DAMN good to hear. Thank you and good job Hahn for the updates as well as the dedication to our vehicles.
Now on to my question. I have heard recently that goind Turbo, they suggested doing a piston swap before or during the Turbo conversion. He had said that they won't hold up to the newly found power. What's your take on this?? I am planning to do a Turbo swap this winter and want to do it right the first time. She's still gonna be somewhat of a daily driver so reliability is paramount. Thanks again

For those who are getting busy with built engines, the Garrett GT35R will be the ticket. This will not be for everyone, but for those who insist on more than 500 HP, this will be the way to go.
Should you start with a Super 20G, and wish to move the the GT35R later, interchangeability is part of the design.
