Sell it and start saving for the 6758 zfr. You can get $500 for it easy and you're a quarter of the way to a 6758zfr, after driving a few zfr cars you want a zfr. Even if you don't want all out power the turbo just keeps on pulling, the + and R both drop off (now things can be done to hold boost better, but compared to the zfr they drop).

Take his advise.

if I spend any money I don't NEED to on cars, itll be to build my G4CS block for my Talon and throw on the HX52 I have. Or spend it on the rest of the bits I need for the twin turbo kit I have for my Trans Am.

im not spending 2k on a turbo for this car. The Cobalt is fast enough for a commuter car.

it is. I have no idea what route ill go. its been years since ive even driven the car let alone look up what people are using for builds these days. maybe ill get a k-member and control arms, 60lb injectors, 255 pump, ls9 grind cam, clutch... and just keep it turned down low while I build a l33 or lm4 or LQ4/9, fast intake, Frankenstein 6 speed, get the rear end done... who knows.

everybody was saying the ls6 and the ls9 cam worked will with boosted engines last time I was researching. I have a couple payments on the Cobalt left, then i'll start saving and hopefully next year I can piece together my build.

I'm excited but definitely looking to keep the tune as conservative as my R tune. Hoping to pick up some nice power and carry it even better than the R does.

I don't think so. Your comment about the Werks ex. housing being different/bigger internally is the first I've heard of that actually. But I do believe the oil feed is longer than the ZZP kit which is a huge plus because Adrian just blew up his built LNF with ZFR due to oil starvation caused by the oil feed not being long enough and was too close to exhaust housing which caused it to crumble inside the braided insulator and he lost a bunch of oil during an autoX session. Not sure if you seen his thread but he couldn't confirm the line was broken until he cut it out of the braided insulation. So keep that in mind when routing that line.
Edit: I'm an idiot. After talking with omiotek, he said Werks housing is not stainless. I'm not sure why I thought it was. My bad
