OP James been taking care of me for years and tons of other people, and thats people with cars other than cobalts. Just putting that out there.
^This. I hate the smell of coolant...burnt and not burnt. My turbo smoked for a while after installation, also my coolant system needed bleeding( I did have a leak though). Is it still smoking?

pretty much, i put old turbo back in last night, and instantly car stopped smoking, except from the small amounts of burning left over oil. She runs just as good as she ever has. Now its back to waiting for my turbo to get sent in and get fixed.
