Lmao thank you I was gonna say! I'm not use to this at all lol drove it around the block and they're so quiet and smooth. Can't wait to give a nice 2nd and 3rd gear pull.

@ProfDNS oh I forgot to mention that I bought a new intake manifold gasket, spark plugs, and pcv valve and brought that to get replaced with the intake valve service. That way it was all fresh!

I figured they would replace the gasket, I wouldn't need to bring one. I might have to call them in regards to that. The plugs I did a few months ago, but I'll double check my gapping anyways. The PCV valve might be a good idea.

I just have a habit of supplying my own parts when I get stuff done. I think they would too if you don't bring one but always good to know!

Yay, I was wondering when I'd see updates to this. Turbo is gonna slap a grin on your face every time she boost, and the sound will be intoxicating.

Z54 or earlier EFR, and what other goodies did you snag? Unless that's a secret lol

Thanks man! I have been waiting for this for so long! It is a 6758 ZFR I snagged off a member here. Looks to be in amazing condition and was priced well. I picked up some comp cams stage 1 and i will be getting upgraded springs and retainers. Lastly have some surprise exterior mods i will show once done

In time for the spring.
Took mine out for a short 15k drive for the first time in a couple of months yesterday. Love this little car.
Stop in to top up with some 94 octane @ $2.05/L It went up another 13 cents today?

Very nice man I bet it's a blast! That is what I'm not excited for lol my family car costed 100$ to fill up which is insane. On another note a seller cancelled meeting up for wheels so that means i only have tail lights coming for this year.

Yeah I feel you on the gas prices they are nuts right now. I haven't taken my baby out of winter storage just yet probably wait until next month and pray these damn gas prices go down. I paid 1.88 cad a litre in gas right now in Nova Scotia its soo gross how much everyone has to pay to drive nowadays. Just makes me sick man. And very nice snail you got by the way lol. You will love it i'm sure once its installed and retuned.

Sounds really good man. I'll be getting my baby out of storage real soon once all the damn salt is cleared off my roads. Overall how does the new turbo feel? Especially down low and up top?

New turbo is insane! Right now the tuner has a boost ramp in place so I can feel it out for how aggressive I want it. But up top I haven't felt that ever before in the cobalt lol

It is nothing like having a big turbo.​​​​​​ Got to get a Cobalt cruise going once the warmer weather arrive?

It's difficult to resist the temptation to exercise full boost every time. Boost is addictive especially on big turbo.
Nice tail lights.

Lol the sweet sounds of boost and flutter.
