Saturn Motorsports is proud and excited to announce the ONLY CARB legal turbo kit EVER to be produced for a Saturn vehicle.
Exclusive once again to Saturn Motorsports, this kit has put down a respectable 211 horsepower and 204 ft/lb torque at 11psi of boost pressure AT THE WHEELS. Using a standard 15% drivetrain loss this translates into a hefty 243 horsepower at the crank!
CARB legal and built to look like Saturn's own engineers designed it from the ground up, this kit is a perfect bolt-on.
The ION Quad and Sedan kit comes with the complete turbo kit including a tuned computer to handle fuel and timing issues. A true carbon fiber intake kit is also standard issue as well as an intercooler to reverse the effects of the turbo heating the air during compression. Last but not least, to help the exhaust gases on their way, the kit also comes with a complete cat-back exhaust system!
Cost for the kit is $4300.00
The S-series kits won't be far behind so get your pennies from the penny jar and start rolling! :O) | http://www.saturnmotorsports.com/top...NOUNCEMENTS%21

| Waste-o-money!!
You could do your own kit for cheaper than that. Considering SMS is making it, I doubt if it's in stock. If you call them they would probably tell you that it's in just to get your money. |

| thats allot of money, i agree with matt, allthough our aftemrarket is SERIOUSLY lacking its good that sms and others try to take up the slack, on the other hand they fully realizxe you guys got no options, not to many people think, hey, an intercoolers an intercooler, a little tubing,, have a maniufold made and you can build a kit for under 2k, so all that extra cost you can attribute to not enough saturn owners that did it themselvs meantime my generation,thats all we knew, if a car wasnt turbo, there wa sno turbo KITS LOL, we wnet and fabricated them, decomprssed the engines etc...

| no way in hell i was gonna buy it, just wanted some oppinions...IMO...thats too damn much anyway. A muffler shop can do the catback for around 100. (at least thats what was quoted around here) So that leaves 4200 for a turbo...um..NOOOOOOOO...lol
