modding the SKY
After doing some thinking and a ton of research on other possible cars to buy, i have decided to just keep my SKY, at least for a few more years.
So therefore, i figure if i'm keeping it, its gotta get some upgrades.
I ordered a ton of stuff for it and i'll be doing all the installs when i get back to NJ in about 3 weeks.
First i ordered the GM Stage II 290hp upgrade, the ecm will have to just be flashed by a dealer, not a big deal. Then i ordered the GMPP cold air intake setup as well. The next thing people said that became an issue with higher boost levels was the intercooler. so i bought a Dejon intercooler thats 250% the capacity of the stock part. But with a new intercooler, those restrictive oem piping needed to go too so i got a set of Dejon 16ga aluminum IC pipes also including the TB elbow(all in yellow of course). Now i needed the air to get out of the motor better so i bought a 3" Magnaflow catback system which i'll be using my stock rectangular tips on for a more oem look.
I can't wait to get all the stuff installed and take it for a spin...
On top of all that, its also getting a new black front grille by Steinmetz( a german tuning company that makes stuff for the opel GT) and a pioneer 7" touchscreen am/fm/cd/dvd headunit w/bluetooth....

I highly endorse the GM turbo upgrade. +30hp and +80lbft definitely passes the butt dyno.
