There are 2 people that I know of. One is Donna from Cobalt Addiction. The other was a dude thats on redline forums. The only shady part about this whole thing that I dont understand too much is ZZPs claimed bypass valve, and how the hell you get it to work with the turbo....

I talked to Donna at the Carlisle Performance and Style car show last month and she said its really not for daily driving as it can easily "fall out of tune" and there are problems here and there. I am not saying the ZZP twincharge kit is going to be like this, Im just giving input from someone that has a twincharged cobalt.

Personally, I would just rip the supercharger off and throw a turbo on as that is what I am doing w/in the next month or so.

I would also like to hear from someone w/ the ZZP twincharge kit and how it performs as a daily driver...

The bypass that Lewis was talking about takes care of part of the problem.
The other part is that, I'm pretty sure, CA was using an Apex-i SAFC to control the AFR in that car. IMO, that's not really as reliable as what HPT can offer.

Donna's car is actually tuned via Hpt, but only just for driving in and out of shows, not fully tuned yet. Just go with one or the other, turbo offers the highest hp potential and with a properly sized unit, lag won't really be an issue.

i was kinda hoping to get this...got impatient and spent my saved $1100 on a zex kit w/ accessories instead :S ...meh...itll keep me entertained for a bit...then ill get turbo'd by that time, and use the nitrous to spool up faster...altho, im not sure as to how this works as of yet (in terms of how its set up and tuned)...but thats not for a year or two anyway (most likely two )...plenty of time to learn!
