No I was just driving around 30 35 and the speed3 rolled up next to me, I was in D the whole time. We were driving next to each other for like 10 secs then he took off so I took the challenge and took off as well lol. Flew like a rocket the whole way it felt good. I've never had a car with this much power. I just have to be careful it's gonna get me in trouble lol

fox did you start off from a light holding it in 1st then hit it or did you just have it in d and floored it.
20 plus psi of boost on these things and its tough to catch them

The drive seemed very surprised, probably had never even seen a HHR SS until then, once we got to a red light he was in the lane next to me but he hung back to check out my car.
He wasn't Hanging back to check out your car, he was hanging back so he didn't have to look you in the eye

I am using the yellow spring with GMTU and no problems. To be honest there are some people that will tell you green and some will tell you yellow. I have been happy with the yellow. The springs are super easy to swap if you are experiencing any problems.

Well I'm not sure but I think it's not holding the boost like it should. But I'm just worried to swap to yellow because I read a thread saying that with the yellow spring our stock pipes can crack or even burst. :/

I wouldn't worry about that untill you get a trfecta or hp tune. I am pretty hard on my car and stock pipes hold just fine. That being said I have aftermarket hahn intercooler and charge pipes sitting in my room (need to find time to install them) in anticipation of getting tuned next year.

Anyone have a recommendation for a St. Louis dealership to install the GMTU? I bought my HHR in Kansas City but live near St. Louis.

Thanks,
Neil

Trying to avoid spending time reading through the 59 pages on this thread... Can someone post everything in a single post that I should know and that I should inform the installing tech regarding this turbo upgrade...

Have them use good connectors or solder wires. Watch clearance at a/c compressor. Make sure they load correct program. What else do you want to know?
