Just piece a kit together, the aftermarket kits are way too pricey.

If you shop around you can find a nice Disco Potato or Gt30 in and around 1,200-1,500 bucks

I found a Disco Potato for 995, and some change. You can squeeze about 380 with some good tuning, and supporting mods with one.

Rico, Rico, Rico.... Bro you have such a nice Cobalt, and you don't know jack about it

I'm just busting you're chops man. There's a good sticky posted in the Turbo section here.

The biggest things you need to look into is the turbo, manifold, and intercooler. There are a lot of things to look into but try to get a nice ball bearing turbo, as opposed to a journal bearing turbo.

Look into the GT28RS or a GT30R anything bigger than you will see your gains way up in the top end.

Take time and read up before buying anything.

Not afraid of a "Built" Motor. If its all motor its all motor. What kind of built motor is the question? LS1 LT1 LS7? Thats whats important.
