looks pretty good. What is their normal boost? and how much they make at 22? Curious as to what they can make with some typical bolt ons and tunes cause I want to get a new car some time and that is on the radar as a cheap grab.

normal is around 12 or so. typical vehicle boost numbers.

with a tune and a kn intake my car made 150whp and 180tq but its a mail order trifecta tune.
with intake and exhaust the guy on the dyno right after me made 170whp and 190tq... so they are cheap to mod but getting over that 200whp mark will need a bigger turbo. its only a gt14, motorcycles have bigger turbos.

but they weigh 2700 pounds. so thats fun as well

not bad numbers for a small car, I know all about small cars. I'll love my miata even more when I get it around 220whp. The Sonic if I were to get one would be just bolt ons and tune and done aside from lowering and such. It'd be the travel car. But I am a ways from deciding. I also test drove a loaded Fusion with the lil turbo 4 and loved it so I'll be hard pressed to not go with one of them when the time comes.

I'm on a stock tune with some minor adjustments at 17. With what i have done with my hptuners tune at 26lbs i was at 210hp and a little bit higher torque. well thats what a buddy had his dynode at and mine had a little bit more work done.
