Default universbo kit

Does anyone know about this universal turbo kit by a company called Squire turbo And does anyone know if the 3.5 V6 can handle about 5 to 8 lbs of boast. My application is a 2005 Saturn Vue Redline. So if anyone knows anything about it or if the computer speaks Gm or Honda. Any help would be great

Im not saying this post is great, but before anyone really starts the flaming I just wanna let people know that the Saturn Vue uses the Honda 3.5L V6 found in Pilots, Ridgelines, and Oddys. He is also asking if the computer is Honda or GM based. I would believe that it is GM based but not 100% sure.

After some further research I found that the computer is indeed GM along with all GM sensors used. Only the mechanical parts are Honda. Im not sure about the boost levels it could take, but with a proper conservative tune I'm sure it could handle a little. Comptech used to make SC kits for the 3.0 which is basically the same principle engine in a mechanical sence. They seemed to hold up well with those.

hes talking about the STS rear mounted turbo setups. I think it would work, you would have to get a good tune and maybe a stand alone.
