Default Turbo trailblazer?

I spoke with a fellow today that works in a factory that makes turbo chargers for the PT, he said they also made them for the trailblazer, at first I thought he meant for a turbo diesel, so I asked him again and he was sure they were also for the trailblazer, just heresay, but give those of us that lusted for the syclone/typhoon a glimmer of hope.

I know somebody makes a twin turbo kit for a Trailblazer. Puts out like 400 at the wheels. Wish I could get ahold of one of those for my wifes LTZ. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

It's actually a very easy vehicle to design a kit for, but a large single is an easier package, since it is a straight 6, easy to do, i was gonna get a Trailblazer a while back, and do it, but it wouldn't be the same as my Camaro, it was a delusional winter dream, of a car i could drive year round, but then i woke up and realized i couldn't live without the Camaro.

Didn't GM build a turbo (twin I believe, but could be single) TrailBlazer last year or so? I know I saw one in the magazines, supposed to be around 400hp if I remember correctly.

I'd have that as my daily driver. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

They said they wouldnt make it but did build one. IT has some info in the hot rod mag this month. Was a 4.8liter or something like that.
