Are there any good shops in the lower mainland that can install a turbo kit?
It's something you don't want to give to just any mechanic that has no previous experience installing aftermarket turbo kits.
If I ever buy the Garrett Alpha Turbo Kit I would want to make sure I bring it to the right place since it's likely to be an expensive install

getting ready for turbo? ;) if you're ditching any part of your exhaust please let me know.

I dont know about lower mainland but i heard there is this place right across border that does good tuning for cobalts... RedSS2.4 had his turbo cobalt tuned there

Thanks for that link
I'm sure these kinds of mechanics would get the job done right

PenguinPie you got dibs on my exhaust if I go turbo. I wanted to keep the GMPP Touring even though I know that 2.25" is too small for FI just because I like to keep the noise levels down.
I'm really looking for 200 Hp out of my cobalt. I should have bought the SS

If I want to go turbo I would have to buy your stock Dp because I cut mine to install the OBX Header
My Injen C.A.I. is going to have to come off
Oh well at least my 2.4 intake manifold is still needed

Advanced Motorsports in Coquitlam (right beside the new Cactus Club on Schoolhouse)
They work on some high end cars in that shop and pretty much well do everything.

advance is good......also Forecefed in langley is good for turbo stuff....took our miata there to be detuned and taken through aircare then retuned, they deal with a lot of turbos.

That X2 for Advance Motorsport
I'll have to find out what they approx. charge for installing a full bolt-on turbo kit
It will have FI sooner or later and I appreciate all the help finding a shop
