Don't know much about the Ecos, but i was reading through this month issue of SuperStreet (The Annual Turbo issue) and came across a turbo kit for the Saturn Ion. Not sure if any of you are Gude Performance fans, but the mag "boasts" an increase of 125 hp increase adding to the stock 140 and is capable of alot more. Their website says that at its capability of 20 lbs of boost, it can do well over 285 horses. Just thought i'd relay the info. :thumbsup:

In case you didn't catch it, the Ion runs the Ecotec also :D

Just click on the photo of the Saturn Ion in the bottom right-hand corner of this link. (http://www.gude.com/)
