He is driving a GXP. What they have posted up there is a 2.4L turbo solstice. I am pretty sure I can take the SC kit out with no problems with my mild tune stage 2 kit. I'm pushing out 311rhwp with 268TQ. Turbo is kicked in by 1600rpm. All this talk with turbo lag is all wrong. "note there used to be a lots of turbo lag, but now with tech these days. It is pretty good"
I'm not knocking your SC stage 2 kit at all. Everyone who has the SC is very happy with it. And to tell you the truth I was going to SC my car when i heard they were bringing in the GXP. But the shop who built my car said just go turbo and have more fun.
Also those #'s you have posted for the 2.4L solstice. Are those the Hahn #'S ?
Comp,
I'm not saying the S/C will beat all turbos....far from it. yours is a fine example, you have a custom one off setup using a very good turbo that is properly sized. We are not anti turbo here at DDM,we like turbos, but for the average driver that wants the car to feel and act like it should, the PD supercharger is a great fit. It delivers awesome torque down low, and drives like a lot bigger engine. Turbos will always have lag, the laws of physics of accelerating a mass can't be changed...but as you mention it's not as bad as in the past. A properly sized, modern turbo can reduce that dramatically.

Anyone know what kind of install time for the Stage II setup???
It should be just a couple hours with the supercharger installed already. All of you first 10 owners will be getting some new updated brackets that will take a little longer to install, I would just figure the same time it took to install the supercharger the first time to be safe. It will give you something to do up there in the cold, hopefully your garage is heated

I get to use a heated garage. If my car ever gets back from the dealer.
Put in my deposit yesterday. Should be getting my invoice also. I think the cold weather install reference normally would work for me but hey, it's 60deg today!!!!!

What was that Mark Twain said about weather in the northeast . It was -7 on Wed. last week when I left for work. I believe Albany hit 61 today . As a snowmobiler I'm not very happy about the whole thing, but that's another topic.
I'll probably being installing mine mid-March so it's ready come April .
72 today for our sick day run through southern MD.

Gosh Compression - your numbers are almost exactly (that doesn't sound right) the numbers Dave/Werks posted for stage II!
