Sorry folks. Being a neophyte to the world of turbo, I was simply using the terminology I got from the GM Website (LNF Turbo Upgrade Kit, Part #19212670) for what they did to my little screamer. Didn't mean to step on any purist's toes. All that really matters is that whatever they did to my HHR, it's scary faster than it was.

Just so you know, they changed two sensors, the connectors and reprogrammed the computer.

I live in Laurel but had the work done at Sport Chevrolet in Silver Spring. My service rep is named Mike Temple. If you have it done, I'm sure the mechanic that did mine has learned a lot from having done mine first. :smile:

So you are the one!! Mike Temple is also my service writer and I had the car in there 2 weeks ago and he told me he had ordered one!:nuts: Cool!
I am waiting now for the parts to do the Brake fix and parts to fix my Emergency Brake!!

I've never had any problem with my brakes but after reading some of the posts regarding possible issues with the brake fix and the tuning upgrade I'm not sure I want to rush back to Sport if I don't have to. If you get yours done, I hope you have as much fun as I'm having with mine.

Got mine today as well. Very pleased so far. I knew what to expect with the torque steer, and honestly it's not that bad. Helps that I have an auto so I can keep both hands on the wheel when I'm launching, but I've been equally impressed with the overalll acceleration for passing, and also that it seems I can coast more now than before. Could be imagining that, but we'll see. Only driven it twice, one of which was in rush hour traffic, but tomorrow I'm driving to Dallas (hockey...let's go Blues) so we'll see what happens there.

My car was also the first to be done at my dealership, and so far it seems like they did quite well. I dropped it off around 8:30 AM and they had finished it by about 2:00 PM, not sure how many hours labor they took total. Also had my headliner taken down and reattached more securely (via warranty and some two sided tape) to 86 the rattles. I paid $266 with tax and labor for the stage kit install.
