oh no. Nothing like problems to crop up and make you curse this car lol.

Check for boost leaks as stated above. P0101 usually has to do with boost leaks. Your AFR or fuel trim readings would also indicate this. If you had the Aeroforce gauge you could watch fuel trim creep as well as AFR target vs actual.

Stock Intercooler? I noticed you put on some new charge pipes. check the old couplers your using. Make sure none of them are torn. Also make sure the couplers are 100% seated on the pipes/ Intercooler / turbo.

Well put a lot of thought into it over the last few weeks. This car has been a blast and im sure I will miss it but I think its time to move on to something not FWD lol. The cobalt is being parted out and im going to cruse it this summer pretty much stock then trade it in this fall. Have wanted to build another DSM for a long time and I think that is the route im going to take. Plan as of now is to trade the cobalt in on a Mach 1 and daily that and slowly build a 1G DSM.


Got lucky and a local guy just picked up a 60k 2 owner 4 door SS so he has bought most of my stuff and we are swapping downpipes and what not tonight. So after tonight the only thing I will have left is my 3" catback and a k&n drop in lol.

There is always something else that's newer or better. No payments mean more to me than driving the latest and greatest. I'm still having fun with my economy car.
Snail- I'm fixing up my sons 93 arc and gonna daily it. What a pain in the ass the electronics are in the car. They drive nice though.

That's why I bought my sedan for a DD. For the dollar to fun ratio, you cant beat it! Plus no car payment

Ive been paid off for 4 years lol. I am still on the stock clutch as well. No sign of slipping at 95.5k miles. I run a 24 psi tune in the summer and spring, and the stock tune in the winter/fall.

I'm doing the exact same thing. Keep that low end torque down.

120k miles on stock clutch.
