200 ft/lbs at like 2200 rpms! Very very impressive. And that's an Ecotec engine, so you know it'll handle being modded to the gates of Hell and back.
Going to be a fun little car!
Here's a video of the dyno run:

Nice T, looks like it's going to be a fun car.
Supposedly the stock turbo is running 20psi. I have no clue what the stock turbo is on that thing though.

Wait. Capable of 20 PSI of boost or that dyno is with the Turbo on 20PSI.
I don't know if I want to be scooting around town on 20 psi.
Two feet.
No stock the turbo is set for 20psi.

With a 9.2 compression ratio, you can bet it's a small turbo. Combine that and direct injection and I doubt you'll even notice turbo lag. Power curve seems pretty linear.
I do think there's a power cap, (because of the DI) and you're probably going to be going to the factory for upgrades for a while.
edit: If anyone cares about this motor: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://media.gm.com/us/gm/en/news/events/autoshows/06ny/brands/saturn/06_NY_Sat_SkyRLineTurbo.htm">http://media.gm.com/us/gm/en/news/event ... eTurbo.htm</a><!-- m -->
Looks really cool! I didn't see this coming at all. I figured it'd be a Saab motor, just a 2.0 turbo, but this is a real peice of technology! I'm...impressed. Wouldn't surprise me if we saw this motor in a few more things, with GM taking a page from the Mazda playbook...

Is it the same one on a Beetle Turbo. I was changing a friends oil and was thinking, "That is one gay looking turbo."

wonder if it'll beat an s2k around a race track? +20hp + gobs of torque + 150lbs... i'm gonna guess it'll win in a straight line, but track? nope.

I was watching Price is Right yesterday. This obese lady in a blaze orange sweater won a Viper and a Saturn Sky in the Showcase showdown. Her showcase alone was worth $89,739. She said it was 89,500$. She was within $250 so she won both! In total she won 146,715$ in winnings. I about crapped myself.

The only reason to watch Price is Right is if you are unemployed, deathly ill, or retired...

And there's also an improvement in roll-on acceleration, the kind of performance you feel on the street, because it accelerates 0.18 seconds quicker to 70 mph from 50 mph. Before the clutch went, we also measured a 0-to-60-mph time of 6.4 seconds and a quarter-mile run of 14.4 seconds at 97.2 mph, which are also quicker.

sports compact car's number are as valuable as skin care products to a leper. s2k = 14.0 1/4, 5.2 0-60. those are pretty much THE numbers you'll find everywhere.
