dont know how to add pics. but its a 08 ss turbocharged with g85. i want to start modding it. but i dont know what to get first. whats the first few mods that would increase the performance?

 

downpipe and tune are a pretty good start

 

get a TWM STS

 

^not necessarily a good first mod for power.. but a nice upgrade for sure

 

I was hoping for a motor swap thread.../

 

Aggressive 22 psi tune and down pipe, and your in the heaven of fwd daily drivers

 

yep BYT tune, plus downpipe and intake if you want cool turbo nosies.

that setup should net you anywhere from 290whp - 320whp.

 

Youre in NC have Matt (MDub) tune you but get a catless dp first

 

This.

 

Go with the ZZP S256 turbo kit as your first mod.

 

swet u got another cobalt

 

No **** do turbo swap first an jus skip all the nonsense

 

word

 

i was doing some reading and i wanna get a badmab catless dp, k & n sri, forge bpv, with upper and lower zzp charge pipes with a hks bov then get mdub to tune me. does that sound like a good setup? how much power would i make?

 

if u get a m-dub tune infinity, but after that you might go euro

 

FYI getting a Forge BPV AND a HKS BOV is gonna be pretty difficult.

IMO, steer clear of BOVs. They been played out for like 5 yrs now. Stick with the BPV. It'll make tuning a tad bit easier too.

 

okay thanks for the info

 

if i just get the forge bpv k&n sri badmab catless dp with the defouler will i need a tune?

 

You won't *need* a tune but you should definitely get one. You'll get much better performance if you do.

 

i plan on getting one after i get my parts i was just wanting to know if it would be fine to drive it without a tune

 

Your best bet would be to hold off installing the parts until you can get the tune reasonably soon after.
