Your car might still have the powertrain warranty on it so you might be able to get the pump covered. Idk what it is on the 05 and 06 models but on mine it's 5yrs/100k miles.

Just looked in my 2006 Cobalt brochure. It's 5yrs/60k miles, I think the 2005's are the same.

So if I read what you said correctly, as long as we're still getting the same boost the pump is working fine.

In that case, the pump on my 1 year 10 month old car (with 15,000 miles) is aok (I'm still spiking 15psi!).
