Please explain the stage II turbo kit

 

Looks like the Pedders rear spings are on back order, so instead I went and got the Trifeca tune for the ole SS. I will get the springs as soon as they become available[after the first of the year]. I want just the front and rear springs, and not the coilovers. Happy New Year to all! "Moon"

 

GM announces Stage Kits for 2.0 Liter LNF Turbo Engine

Turbo Upgrade Kit for Solstice GXP, Sky Redline, HHR SS
(19212670) MSRP $750

The turbo upgrade kit for the Solstice GXP, Sky Redline, and HHR SS was designed by General Motors Performance Division Engineers to get the most power possible out of the 2.0 Liter LNF Turbo engine. This kit will take your vehicle from 260 hp and 260 ft-lbs to 290 hp and as much as 340 ft-lbs of torque. All this power and you will still retain the full factory warranty. This kit also provides emission standards that accommodate the legal criteria in all 50 states. This kit is a quick an easy install that will not affect the driveability of your vehicle in any way, but will have plenty of extra power and torque when called upon. Because of the different drivetrain combinations, there are several different calibrations with slightly different power outputs. The specifications are as follows:

• 2007 & 2008 Solstice/ Sky Manual 290 Hp @5200 rpm and 340 ft-lbs @3600
• 2007 & 2008 Solstice Auto 290 Hp @5200 rpm and 325 ft-lbs @3600
• 2008 HHR SS Manual and Auto 290 Hp @5200 rpm and 315 ft-lbs @4800

This kit includes the “No Lift Shift” feature for faster accelerations with manual transmissions.

This kit will also be available for the 2008-2009 Cobalt SS and the above 2009 Turbo vehicles in Q1 2009.

 

What you just discribed, is what is referred to as the Stage 1 kit, or Turbo upgrage kit, and even [believe this] the dealer I got my SS from, under accessories lists it as Divider Harware kit[which is nothing more than a Stage 1 kit].
There have been numerous threads on this subject on this site.
Sorry, not a Stage II kit, but only a Stage1 kit.
Prices vary from around $450.00 to $650.00 plus installation[and some dealers will stick it to you on the labor]. "Moon"

My question, hows the ride compared to stock and how much did it lower it?
