So I’ve had my base model solstice for awhile, and am now looking at that big step- adding a turbo. I already am lowered and have a dual exhaust so performance wise the car should be able to deal with the extra power. Also it’s an automatic so from what I’m hearing the trans should be ok, don’t have to worry about burning it out in a month(knock on wood). I’m looking at getting a turbo kit from eBay as that’s a grand cheaper than anywhere else I’ve seen, but before I actually buy the kit(linked below) is there anyone who has used this that had issues? Kinda feeling like the fact that an eBay turbo kit is ~$1k cheaper than anywhere else maybe should be a red flag, or maybe it’s just cheaper.
also, I pretty much am aiming for 300hp, that’s kinda the magic number I want to go for. Sounds like a stock gxp is touching 260 so I’m hoping with a tune 300 should be pretty realistic...anyone have input on that?
Thx,
Jeff
