Im new to this board... ive been reading post for a li while... but still a got questions and concerns... hope none of these questions are stupid.

first thing is that I want to upgrade the hp in my regular solstice. i think i read somewhere that too much of a psi boost will kill the engine overtime. so i would want to get as much hp as i can without dramatically decreasing the life of my car.

I was looking at hahn level 2... i know there are some other things needed along with the hahn level 2 but im not sure what they are. If someone could give me a rundown of things to add to get alot more hp and keep longevity in the car i would appreciate it. also a rough estimate of price i will be paying and the approx of whp i would get as well.

The reason no one has answered, is the subject has been covered in depth. Look around on the forum and search button is your friend.

There are ton of kits out there on the market right now. Hahn is pretty much a starter turbo kit right now. Then I would say Werks is next in line. They make a good and powerful kit. And then I have the turbo kit on my car. They are all in the same price range.

In the order I gave it. The higher the price will be. Not by too much,also in the same order is the power gains

Hahn, werks, TAG

Check my signature for parts I have

Where do you live? Down south? How hot are your summers? If your summer temps are over 100 you may need to work on cooling.

I'm getting 243whp @ only 6psi with stage II - but stage II at 8psi and with a high flow cat will probably make it to 255whp or better.

Hahn stage III will come out in the future and should produce around 290whp @ 11psi. Check their web site.

Sorry I will not be attending. Money is low, and I only get 2weeks off for the year. Sorry, I would love to attend NATS. I think it would be one hell of a trip.
