This 2003 Saturn Ion QC/T concept was featured at the 2002 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. The modified Ion is powered by a 2.2 liter turbo engine with a 5-speed manual transmission, 4-wheel disc brakes, and 235/40ZR18 tires on 7-spoke Motegi aluminum wheels.

would be interesting to get just to see if you could find out how they tuned it.

wonder why they make no mention of how much HP they were able to squeeze out

GM has the code, and the ability to change it, that's all we're missing to tune it ourselves, so GM just made a tune like trifecta would since they have access to all that already

Thats funny, reading many of his posts you would think he was in charge. On the other hand it would fun to own the LAST ION.

no, I am helping trifecta, not GM, but I know GM has free reign with their own code and they can come up with tunes at least very similar to how trifecta comes up with tunes, and have the code already, they just use a tech 2 to flash it instead of the GT tuner

Whatever, I would give my left nut (since I won't need it anymore) to have that car. That is mean looking. I always wondered why they just didn't supercharge/turbo the 2.2 for the R/L instead of using a 2.0. I figured it would be cheaper to keep the same application for both.
