BTW don't mod it gm will say FU when you need warranty work with your performance car that apparently should never be taken to redline.
yeah i just made a thread saying most people need to chill out about this whole cobalt turbo thing, its everywhere

this is ridiculous how people are going on and on about this turbo balt and its not even out yet. i think its ugly it doesnt look like the ss/sc for some reasons. and those rims on the turbo balt are the ugliest rims i have ever seen.

THIS IS WHY I STARTED THIS THREAD, TO BE ENLIGHTENED ON POSSIBLE UPGRADES. NOT SO THE BABIES CAN CRY ABOUT HOW THIER SC IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE TC. LETS FORGET ABOUT THE NUMBERS (260HP/ 260TQ STOCK!!). SOME OF US ARE INTERESTED IN THE TURBO COBALTS. WHY MUST YOU RAIN ON OUR PARADE?

Best f'ing idea I've heard yet! I feel sorry for the people who trade in their SS/SC and take a huge hit in the wallet to get a car that has 260hp when they could add an aftermarket turbo to their SS/SC and get over 300hp! Even if you do have to upgrade your clutch and axles, it will still be cheaper and it won't be the same turbo Cobalt that everyone else has!

THERE IS NO BOV!!!!!!!!!!! (sorry bout caps I had to )

It is a bypass valve that doesn't vent to the atmosphere it vents to the intake so you don't really hear it.

Well why doesn't everyone just go out and buy a base 2.2L cobalt and swap out the block for the 1.6L GM race block, and then just strap on two GT45 turbos?

I would assume that most people want a little more power, be faster than a S2 ss/sc, and still keep the warranty. Not to mention the car will only be offered for 1.5 years, it will be more rare than the LSJ balt.

Can you LNF haters just STFU!?!?!?!
