New Owner Verano Base Turbo upgrade

[geoicochea]

Good morning,
I recently purchased a 2013 Verano, we felt in love with the car but the dealership we were at only had 2015 models, and i wasn't into buying a brand new vehicle, we looked around, and we found this great deal for a 2013, but no Turbo, now my questions is it possible to install a turbo on Verano Base ? and if it is possible should I go to the GMC dealer? get it done there?


Thank You

No the verano turbo and non turbo are 2 different engines

Contact ZZP about their 2.4l turbo kit and see if it would work for the Verano. That is what I did with my 2002 Alero 2.4l

Just remember an aftermarket install will void any warranty

Not necessarily. It would depend on local consumer laws. In many areas the warranty of the car's effected parts could only be voided if the aftermarket part(s) caused damage. The warranty can't be voided simply because a perfectly functioning aftermarket part is installed on the car.

Technically you may be correct but good luck challenging that, the car didnt come with that part, a turbo, thus it is a modification.

"The federal minimum standards for full warranties are waived if the warrantor can show that the problem associated with a warranted consumer product was caused by damage while in the possession of the consumer, or by unreasonable use, including a failure to provide reasonable and necessary maintenance."

This means the burden of proof lies upon the warrantor. . .
