Fixed mine as well. I had a hole in a vac line to my wastegate that wasn't visible unless i took the line off. So basically i was overboosting too.

Over boosting because of the controller and fuel. It's so easy to fix a cobalt when mdub lives right down the road

But yea most of it was the winter blend e85 (e70) he brought the timing down 5 degrees and lowered the boost 5 or 6lbs and did all his other ninja magic. I'm gonna try and order a jug of e85 for next weekend so we can load the beast tune again for the dyno day.

a mixture of winter mix e fuel, spark plugs and his wastegate problem..... we got it sorted out.

Thomas order a set of the 7 heat range with some new information the hotter spark works better for e85 anyway and .25 gap
