Yes, but this Redline edition comes straight from the factory and isn't even close to the power they're getting out of these conversions. No reason to buy the more expensive Redline and have that one converted.
Regardless, it looks like it'll be one sweet car either way.

This was recently posted on a Solstice Forum (yes, this is on a completely stock Solstice block, I'm taking at 17-18lbs of boost, not sure of the turbo size for flow, and these guys reflash the ECU also):
Hit the goal! 348 WHP!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today's session was sweet. We hit a max of 348 WHP and 380 WTRQ!
Thus, the target has been met. This calculates to approx. 410 crankshaft HP and 450 crankshaft ft/lbs torque. Still on unleaded. Still thru a cat con. We're proud to claim the first Sol engines over 200, 300, and 400 HP now, and each one emissions-compliant!
Many passes in the 330-340 range later, it was time for some road testing. The car exhibited excellent characteristics on the road; docile and civil and blazingly fast.
A quick rundown of the car's powertrain mods:
Hahn RaceCraft Stage IV Prototype Turbosystem, Maxflow Catalytic Converter, and Clutch Upgrade
Corsa 2.5" stainless exhaust system
I'll address your questions, etc in the next post.

They listed that because apparently they'd stated their goal was to achieve LS2 power levels on the Solstice 4 cylinder. That they're getting that high of whp, and especially the jump in wtq is what's impressive. As for longevity, I don't believe that has been commented on as of yet. Their base turbo kit for the Solstice provides 240whp and 237wtq.
