I just bought an 08 cobalt ss and its bone stock. Where should i start with mods and what tune should i get. I plan on keeping stock turbo.

 

Welcome to the land of Cobalts, once you enter there's no going back

 

wow, where to start- intake first, and a good downpipe will help it breathe better. Honestly if your not worried about getting max power the gms1 hp tune isnt that bad, and you will get the 3 bar sensors with it. Skys the limit on everything else.

 

First question: What kid of mods are you looking to do? Appearance first? Handling? Power?

A good downpipe will return the biggest power gain. Especially if you are in a location where you can go catless. After that an intake. A good tune obviously will maximise all of it.

A set of Powell YYZ springs from C.E.D and a hardcore rear sway bar from Powell will make it handle like a go cart.

 

Best place to start is definitely an intake like injen, k&n or zzp. Next is the downpipe like one from zzp or Hahn. Best bang for your buck is those two with a tune- either hp or trifecta and that will put you in the 300hp range. If you really want to go wild there is the turbo swap option and the sky is the limit there.

 

Don't forget stickers.

 

We offer a lot of parts... Browse when you get time

 

Lol ^ agreed

 

intake, exhaust, tune, lowering springs, rear sway bar, and call it good.

 

the moar stick hers the better!

 

I'd drive it for a bit and get used to it. The SS TC is the best handling fwd car made, and beats cars double its price range around tracks.

 

I didn't wait. My first two weeks I got MPx full turboback exhaust, Hahn CAI, Injen charge piping (hindsight wish I went with Hahn with hot and cold side piping, now I'm buying the cold side separate from Hahn), Forge diverter valve (unnecessary just makes fun noises), Trifecta 20-23 psi ots tune, and TWM shifter.

Pretty serious difference, I recommend it all except perhaps Hahn charge piping instead of Injen. I also just put in a MPx intercooler because I blew mine.

 

Damn someone has deep pockets ;-)

 

I'm looking to get the most power I can for about $1000

 

$1k? Intake, downpipe, tune ~23psi, and a upper ic pipe(reliability) should net at least 300whp and 360wtq
