I do not want to debate, I do not want to hear sides of a story All I want is a projected date. If Hahn does not have one, that is ok too. Don't trun this into a pissing match, just a projected date of good things to come.

We've got a tentative release planned in early 2010. How early in 2010 is what's yet to be determined.

As we've essentially caught up from all delays incurred by my sabbatical to care for my dying father (as I've learned in a trial by fire, it takes more than a few months to catch up from a few months' absence!) we are resuming normal operations.

2010 will be an exciting year for us. News at 11!

Is this a turbo for the 2.4 Ecotec in the HHR LT?

To be honest, My 2.4 already pulls hard all the way through 3rd. Lighting up the tires from a stand still, and the torque steer will yank the steering wheel outa my hand. I'm finding out my 2.4 is a freak of nature, my friend has an 07 2.4 and mine will run circles around her's. I honestly could not see my car with a turbo or supercharger.

Thanks Everyone, I wil keep you in the loop.

Tireman, I think you'd be surprised how managable a higher power level can be in your HHR. Sure, as an FWD, one must always keep in mind that launching the car from a stop with considerably more power will take some finesse, but that's actually part of the allure and inherent challenge. For those who simply must have the additional power, it's a small concession to make.

We've been doing high HP Cobalts and HHRs for years, and they do turn out very well!

I've been away from this site for quite awhile due to work,travel and bought a camaro that have taken up my time. I see nothing has changed as far as a turbo kit for our 2.4's
