Yes... the SRX will have the 2.8L Turbo in about 2 weeks on lots. But as cools that engine is.. at 300HP/295lbs... it could be better. Opel's Insignia OPC clearly shows that the 2.8L can get at least 325HP, without even being Direct Injected. The 3.0L.. which is essentially the same engine with DI and no turbo... currently capable of at least 270hp/223lbs without Turbo. Adding the Turbo would clearly boost the 3.0L to 400+HP and much better torque numbers. I'm almost willing to say that the 3.0L absolutely NEEDS a turbo to be a performance engine.
