Based on results here and on the Sky and Solstice sites I would have one recomendation.

Tell the dealer to inspect and tighten the intake tube T clamps that they do not remove. If they are lose or are not on well they can blow off.

This has happend to several people. The increase in boost pressure is poping them off. The tech told me they have had the same thing happen on the turbo deisel trucks too.

Installed

I got my upgrade kit installed today they charged me 2.5 hours. The tech had trouble with the lower sensor and had to loosen my radiator to get to it. I also got Maintenance II done as well, overall bill $579.00. Tech said the vehicle was very responsive on the test drive and got 26psi out of boost.

On the way home I could not really get on it do to traffic but the places I played with the vehicle was very responsive and no lag time. I down shifted my auto tranny from 3rd to second about 45mph and goosed the go pedal and got some chirping of the tires. Overall so far I am impressed and happy. I now have a nice little pocket rocket.
