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" />

Gm made a mock up one that was tested out (pre production fun car stuff....
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.
