Car looks good, only thing i would do is lose that spoiler. Can wait to see the numbers for from that motor, does HPT or anyone make tuning software for it yet?

yeah i have the 2.4 ecotec motor dynoing right now at 173whp and 147 wtq. the turbo kit will get me to right around 250whp. the kit is made but hahn said it wont be released till next month. the gauges just recently went in to get ready and get one thing out of the way and its a good thing since the gauges have been kinda problematic and still not perfectly working right yet. hp tuners will be tuning the tranny and engine on the dyno at asap performance. ---

I dont know, im a little sketchy about a custom fabbed kit, i just want the highest quality i can buy (or afford) and hahns kit should come in around $3700 or so and they are ecotec specialists so i figure it would be my best bet to go with them. Have you seen what theyve done with the solstice which has the same engine as me. its pretty amazing. ---

Have you seen what theyve done with the solstice which has the same engine as me. its pretty amazing. 3700 dollars for a turbo kit! thats a hell of a lot of money. Im sure you can get a waaayyy better garret turbo + manifold made and do other things like a front mount and exhaust be alot faster and spend alot less + labor to put it on. I know jeff @ 1st try one of the boards sponsers is putting I believe a 20g on a SS. ---

I would do more research on it to see if anyone else has done a custom kit. ---

well, no one has done a custom kit yet on the cobalt ss but there are people talking about doing it. i talked to a shop once before and they said they would need the car a long time and it would be like $5000 installed or something like that. i dont want my car down too long since its my daily driver. ---

And big name turbo kits are a waste of money most of the time. What you are trying to accomplish could easily be done by any of the local fabrication shops and for a much better price. ---
