Old rookie I got to start somewhere!

Because i know little about these high tech turbo charged complicated engines my question is how does one know if my SS has a High performance tune?
It has some modifications like INJEN tuned air Intake system a MPX intercooler and more I've had it since 2012 I just didn't drive it much now that I am retired
I drive it more and its addicting so its time for me to learn what I can so I can speak your lingo, LOL
Thanks

On a stock tune, the boost max is around 14-15 PSI.

In HHR SS speak, the fuel door should have a sticker indicating high octane fuel is required , the sensors will be blue with Bosch embossed on them.





As for an aftermarket tune, I have no idea

Thanks Old Blue I have both the fuel door high octane fuel warning and the Bosch sensor with #281 002 845
so this means I have factory GM tune? I take it.
Thanks

That was alot of good info "Old Blue" I will read all of it I am having problems with cel codes I took car too a good auto shop 3 weeks ago they replaced my clutch (CLUTCH KIT) and I wanted them to inspect it too. They said I need to drive it more to complete any incomplete monitors so on way home i got a cel warning I checked it with reader and had 2 codes p2261 and p2187 they said to clear codes then do drive cycles which I did 4 or 5 times now I have 4 codes and 1 monitor P2261, P2187, p0420 p0101 anyway I'm on a mission to figure it all out. LOL
Thanks

I was taught by a man I never met , a man that was on the internet and they called him Oldblue.
He was the the administrator of a site, it’s strange but true,
chevyhhr.net , yep, that’s him, Oldblue!
Now we can’t forget Donbrew and RJ , they came to the rescue,
then there’s firemangeorge, and sleeper too,
I love these HHR’s is true, I don’t know about you!

use any of that you like, now if you record it and sell it, please donate any proceeds from my portion to the American Red Cross.

Thank you, Thank you, very much!
