If you got the budget and this is a serious inquiry, I would contact Jesse or Jose at SpeedInnovation.

Do a search for SpeedInnovation in this forum for phone #s.

I would say, save your time and effort... It'll have to be a one-off prototype or altered aftermarket kit that is re-manufactured to work with the 112 engine and electronics... And you'll be the first guinea pig and about $10,000 lighter...

Go purchase a Pontiac Solstice GXP / Z0K with full race suspension, aero kit & aftermarket turbo, in the $30,000 range, you'll save yourself a lot of time and money...

Go for it man, we wish you success in putting it all together. Just do your homework and it shouldn't really be too difficult to do. You can get by on a hot air turbo setup up to about 6 spd without any issues. The hardest part you will have is making the exhaust manifolds and lowering the compression a point or two. Other than that I would scour ebay for srt6 wreckage.

As for the solstice goes, I say why bother. race suspension or not, bla...

just lower the compression a point or two?? you make that sound like you can just push a button, and custom manifolds cost MUCHO dollars. i was quoted 2k by garret. and i think you meant hot air up to 6 psi, not 6 spd, and no, that probably wouldn't be that safe to run without an intercooler, especially considering how tight our compartment is.

but good luck poster!! you are the 100th person to say it, and no one has done it. there is this company posting on here that claims to have one, but its been 3 weeks since we were supposed to get pricing and pictures and we still have nothing. buy an srt-6 if you want more power, and if you want a manual tranny 2 seater that makes that kind of power, solstice gxp or pontiac redline are easier routes.
