Who knows a place where you can get this done? I've google'd it like a 1000 times. I get BTF, but I can't find their site. And Auto PerformanceWerks. Anyone else do it? Lemme know. Thanks

BaldTurboFreak went into industrial machine work in the tough economy, I read that he couldn't make any $$$ in the custom turbo business. Bad economy = survival mode for many of us.

I have not...reading it now

Chevycobaltss3 Feb 5, 2011 12:32 PM

1300 down the drain for not much of a gain. Only one i care about looking at is there stage two setup turbo.the more expensive one

turbohornet88 Feb 5, 2011 12:34 PM

performanceautowerks.com they have it there. Talk to mkriebs. pm him.

bphage Feb 5, 2011 12:53 PM

does this work on the cobalt, anyone seen any dynos?

iboost Feb 5, 2011 12:54 PM

yea I just want a little something else, without doing a massive turbo swap ordeal...

northvibe Feb 5, 2011 01:04 PM

you can squeeze some power out of a + with tuning. But really...ONLY if you want to stay on a stock turbo. If you want power, you will want to go big turbo...theres no denying that, the + does cost a pretty penny for what it is.

iboost Feb 5, 2011 01:10 PM

That thread is like 40 pages deep. Can someone some up how much power they actually got outa it? I'm running meth too. I duno if that matters at all

Dart_SI Feb 5, 2011 01:12 PM

nobody has dynoed yet. however they *think* that the stage 2 is good for somewhere around 370-400 whp. and the stage 1 is good for about 340-370. i think some more can be pulled out of that tho since theres stock turbo guys on 340whp with meth.

iboost Feb 5, 2011 01:14 PM

do you have a link or anything to these different stages? Sorry I'ma pain in the ass...

edit...nvm i found it :lol:

northvibe Feb 5, 2011 01:15 PM

well stock turbo running near 340whp is pushing efficiency. So a upgraded + turbo can just do that power more easily. I think its a good idea and very worthwhile if someone wants to stay stock turbo and stock turbo look. You just need to tune and pay a little more for the +

Yea I think I might do this. I do wanna stay a stock turbo. I don't feel like really messing with new manifolds and all that...

FYI, tglems is selling because he is going with the bnr.

Chevycobaltss3 Feb 5, 2011 03:58 PM

sam you can spend the same amount of money buying a log manifold and getting a turbo. and youll get more power out of it.... and guess wut i can still tune you lol

BooSSted Feb 5, 2011 07:51 PM

I'm debating as well if I want to go with a bigger turbo or the BNR upgrade. My goal is 400whp, I still want the car to be reliable and sensible so that's all I need. I like how easy the BNR upgrade is, but I also like the idea of looking behind the valve cover and seeing a big hunk of meat back there!! So here I am in a dilemma! lol
