Is the SS a stick or an auto?

So after reading 61 pages of the GM Turbo Upgrade thread, I concluded that the only way to check for the upgrade is to look for the Bosch tmap sensor & check the boost levels? Is this correct? Anyone have any pics or a thread they might refer me too on what else I should check for on this car?

To be honest with you I wouldn't spring for the stage kit. Get the sensors and find someone with HPT tuners, you will money a head and have a better package. I had a tune in mine that was quite a bit better than the stage tune by far. There was suppose to be some features in the stage operating system that made it better.... BS.. Got home and immediately sucked out the stage tune and modified it.

I don't plan on jumping on anything right now, I'm trying to figure out what all the car has done to it & see if anything needs any fixing, once i'm pretty comfortable & figured everything out, I'll have a chat with my dad & see where he wants it. We plan on doing some Solo SCCA races, he loved it when i took him out in the WRX & wanted to jump into it (reason he picked this up) but don't want to take a car out that we're not 100% is health or not. :P I notice not many people like to post pics on here so hard to reference anything.

lol. Thanks for that, & i know for a fact the car does have that sensor & I've seen the boost shoot past 15psi easily so i'm assuming it more than likely already has the turbo upgrade. I'm gonna be checking on the motor mounts, lifting the car up later tonight to take a look under. anything suggestions on what to look for guys?
