Help!

My 2009 Cobalt SS factory turbo is dying.

Would appreciate any suggestions on a high performance, after market replacement turbo.

Please include links you might have to sites offering quality turbos that you guys have had good luck with. Need a new one soon.

Thank you, Cobalt brothers!

 

warranty?

 

yea man u got warranty up to 100k

 

yes i still have 100k warranty, so does the factory turbo qualify as powertrain?

 

i do but, i dont know if the factory turbo qualify as powertrain.

 

yeah it better. i did read somewhere some one posted the info and the turbo was included but just call your local dealer and ask but it is im 100% sure.

 

Y wouldn't it be? It's part of the powertrain. Attached to the powertrain and tuned into the powertrain

 

if he's modded it prob won't be lol
theres a few for cheap on the forum

 

IIRC the turbo is part of the powertrain warranty .... there was a thread on it not too long ago.


edit.... found the post ... here's what was found

What does the The Chevy 100,000-Mile Warranty include?
In general, the powertrain warranty covers the engine, transmission, transfer case and axle assemblies on light duty vehicles as indicated below:

Engine
Cylinder head, block, timing gears, timing chain, timing cover, oil pump/oil pump housing, OHC carriers, valve covers, oil pan, seals, gaskets, turbocharger, supercharger and all internal lubricated parts as well as manifolds, flywheel, water pump, harmonic balancer and engine mount. Diesel engine coverage includes the timing belts until the first scheduled maintenance interval.

Transmission/Transaxle/Transfer Case
Case, all internal lubricated parts, torque converter, transfer case, transmission/transaxle mounts, seals, and gaskets.

Drive Systems
Final drive housing, all internal lubricated parts, axle shafts and bearings, constant velocity joints, axle housing, propeller shafts, universal joints, wheel bearings, locking hubs, front differential actuator, supports, front and rear hub bearings, seals and gaskets.

 

Gm wont cover ure car. U are modded and tuned...... Gm will see this and say goodbye. ....

 

Didn't realize he was modded and tuned..... if your into going faster ....better off replacing the parts that fail with something better anyway.

 

What were you tuned at and how long where you running the tune

 

put the stock parts back on take it in...... ask some friends if they know anyone whos a gm tech that can ignore your tune or whatever....works for me everytime.

 

Can I ask, how is your turbo dying and how did you realize this. Like what are the symptoms of a dying turbo?

 

In for this as well, would like to know how its "dying" as you would say

 

My bad didn't know he was tuned. Ya guy on here selling one for 200 bucks. Buy it send your for a core on a bnr lol

 

ok will do, thanx man.

 

well the stock turbo started to make noise 3 days ago, and its getting worse everyday now,
yesterday when i was driving, the turbo was making alot of noise when i lightly open the throttle on second gear. my only guess is the bearings crapped out. hopefully the warranty will cover it, i have only 1 mod, which is an aem intake, no tune.

 

no my cobalt tc has no tune, just an aem intake, light mod.

no my cobalt is not tuned.

First see if GM will cover it. If not, time to upgrade to a bigger turbo or get k04+ :-)

 

put your stock intake on and take it to the dealer...gm will/should cover it

 

put your stock air box back on and take it into the dealership. they will warranty it. trust me i know. i'm on my second turbo from the dealership under warranty and i had the air box mod and a tune at the time of replacement. no questions asked just replaced.

 

its people like you that is why our turbos are on national backorder (ask me how i know lmao)

 

Hopefully your dealer will cover it, if not I have the stock turbo off my 2010 with 11,000 miles on it. Had to remove it to make room for my S256 lol
