GM introduces turbo upgrade for Solstice GXP, Sky Redline, and HHR SS

The Solstice GXP, Sky Redline, and HHR SS are little pocket rockets complete with a 260 hp 2.0L. And now GM Performance is offering an LNF turbo upgrade kit to boost the direct injected engine up a notch.

The kit consists of a new engine calibration and MAP sensors that will push your turbo four to 290 horsepower and 340 lbft of torque with the six speed manual transmission, and 315-325 hp with the automatic. The kit also allows owners to retain the factory warranty.

The LNF Turbo Upgrade also gives the GXP, Redline and SS the same "no-lift shift" functionality as the Cobalt SS Turbo, which enables you to shift without taking your foot off the accelerator. The kit also bumps the redline by 200 to 6500 but will require premium fuel.

GM is also working on a similar kit for the Cobalt SS. The upgrade kit is available at GM dealers for $650, a small price to pay for a decent power upgrade.
