he has the 2.4 though... and some people think n20 is a waste, because as soon as the bottle runs out you're back to square one...

And everyone bitches about the 2.0L guys being close minded. You're an idiot. He said he hopes there are big things for it. Big ******* deal. Grow up. I think it would be retarded to have a boost gauge if you never were going to boost the car.

Celicacobalt, what are you going to do with the loose end of the vac hose? Are they just going to close it off and leave it behind the pillar?

Please buddy you can tell the comment was geard to be a smart ass comment. Plain and simple thats what it was. people with a less IQ like yourself would just read it and say its a compliment but it sounds like bs to me. Typical smart ass remark from a 2.0 owner

Because if he isn't planning big things and just staying with bolt-ons the gauges are kinda pointless especially the boost gauge. But i do know he is planning on turboing the thing once hahn gets their kit for the autos. Stop reading into things so much.

btw. nice setup of gauges will def help keep an eye on things once boosted.

I said I don't give a **** why he said it. If your reading comprehension was above that of a first grader you could see that no where did I say that his comment was meant as a compliment. If I was you, I wouldn't be trying to put down someone else's IQ. Its the pot calling the kettle black.

Explain to me the point of a boost gauge in a nonboosted car. I understand what celicacobalt is doing because he is prepping for his turbo kit by buying the parts that he can.

ok guys, calm down. Yes, I am patiently waiting on hahn Racecraft to release their automatic 2.4 turbo kit. I will probably be the 1st customer of the auto kit. Ive had plans to do this before i even bought the cobalt and i figure i have all this money sitting here waiting for the kit i might as well start buying something i need before hand and do some logging on what everythings runnning at pre turbo so i can see the difference after turbo. im not sure whats gonna happen with the boost gauge/vacuum but ill ask my mechanic thats doing this at asap performance. i know they said they have to drill into the tranny pan for the sensor and i think just a t fitting for the oil pressure.

Wow do you have a huge case of little man syndrome. Calm down man, yes some SS/SC guys are dicks, so aren't some 2.4 guys. You would get along much better with everyone if you didn't walk around with a chip on your shoulder.


Celicacobalt: Good luck with everything. I hope you get that turbo real soon and it works out great for you.
