turbo...

supercharged...


that was a 3 second google search.

you don't need a vin, just pop the hood!

 

" Face palm"

 

they dont have any covers on the motor ??? like plastic ???

Thanks casey

 

Hahaha.

If your Cobalt SS has the "plastic" cover over it, then it has neither a supercharger or turbocharger and is the base SS model. Feel free to take off said plastic cover for style points.

 

Nope thats just what they look like

 

no, i am not sorry for the large pictures either.

 

ya i just didnt know if they had that cheeep ass plastic covering everything ??? sorry

 

Idiot

 

oh. my. gosh.

 

beat you to the lulz.

 

idiot ??? who u calling a idiot ??? thought this was made to help people learn ???

 

In the first picture, that is the engine bay of a 08+ Cobalt SS. All of them are turbocharged no matter what. The black plastic box is the intake box and as you can see, the runs back and down to where the turbo is located back there.

In the second picture, that is the engine bay of a 05-07 Cobalt SS Supercharged. The supercharger is located on the front of the engine, so it's very hard to miss (even with the engine aesthetics on). They also made a Cobalt SS naturally aspirated version during those years, and it won't have that supercharger right there on the front.

 

i guess ill be the first to welcome crider4_6 to css.net. this place is like junior high... but you have 7 posts so far so im sure uve already figured that out lol

 

ya thanks and now i know y i dont want a ricer lol cause of the punk kids lol ... i have a mustang gt and a ls1 turbo car and a zx-10 and a toyota trk so wt ever u boys wana thank

 

no offense, but you have a turbo ls1 and couldn't tell the difference between a supercharged/turbocharged/naturally aspirated cobalt?

 

lol nice joke, and you I can't even understand what you are typing.

 

turbo has an X in the vin for engine code

 

just look at the grilles. the supercharged grills look like the base models. the ss/tc grills look different

 

Us knowing what a factory boosted car looks like under the hood and you not knowing (though you claim to own a boosted car) makes us "ricer"? Okay...

GTFO

 

bullshit.

 

i like it when you beat around the bush. The suspense is what gets me..

 

pics or ban

 

i have a low tolerance for stupid people, liars are even worse though.

 

not a lie guys but wt ever , and i didnt know if the turbo car and the sc car had all the covers and stuff i know wt a turbo and a blower look like !!!
