I don't buy it as for one there is no warranty on deals done in back rooms of dealers. At least not from GM.
Two 400 HP is the limit on the stock rods in the 2.0. GM states very clear once you get to that number you need to upgrade. That is not even getting into the Turbo aspect of it. GM would never have a warranty on anything that close.
Three the transaxle and or clutch would never hold up under heavy use. We have already seen cases crack under the present power under abuse. The Engine with mods is well up to more power than the driveline is able to take.

Once you get to 400 HP there are things that need to be done or it can get ugly.
I think the dealers have the book and I got mine at Summit Racing.

you want 400whp? here's the recipe for it on the stock k04 turbo.....
full bolt-ons, 75hp shot of nitrous and a damn near perfect tune.
or this.

Bart, I'm laughing with you. 400 whp in a little 2.0, (I forgot the cubic inches on her?) give me a break. If he wants 400 whp, buy a Corvette. I've always wondered if the Stage 1 will shorten the life of the engine. I guess time will tell.
