The injen intake has 2 different designs, 2.2/2.4 or 2.0.

so i dont know a whole lot about your guys turbo set up, but on another forum they seem to think the 2.2 can't handle boost on stock internals, how many of you guys are on stock internals?

first of all. this is a t3. These have very little lag. Considering these motors can handle 7psi safely. This thing would be fully spooled at 2000rpm. Even on a mildly moddified motor running 12psi, the turbo would be making enough boost to blow away an ss way before the 60f. The only time you get excessive lag is with a big snail turrning big boost, eg. 20psi or more

I assume that means you already spent the thousand or so dollars on the manifold and charge piping that you will need for it to work on a Cobalt? Buying just a used turbo is silly when you realize that you have to also get a lot of other parts to make it work,.

No, because there is no one place where you can learn everything all at once. A good place to start would be a popular book called "Maximum Boost". That will at least teach you what the system does.
Then, with specific regard to your application, you would have to start piecing together the parts and find a tuning solution.
