i just like to push things and do things differently than other people who just seem to be on the "you HAVE to do it this way" band wagon. like the whole "no way, you can't make 500+whp without a ported head!!"... well guess what bitches... 
that and i just want to see how long it'll last on the factory trans and what times i can get out of it on pump gas street tires, pump gas slicks, and race gas street tires, race gas slicks

When I started my car after the swap i had about 43 vacuum leaks 10 exhaust leaks and my tune was so rich i had gas in my oil. It still idle'd better than when the blower was on haha

some codes do need to be turned off such as the supercharger bypass codes, and a few others, I have been told that the MAF code im getting can be from the sensor seeing a blockage downstream
I was also told that the throttle body codes tend to be intermittent on most cobalts, especially the turbo swapped guys, I get tired of seeing these codes because it constantly sends me into engine power reduced so if its a reading that isnt needed, I would turn them off
l8r,

not trying to be a dick but i have the same tb code and another one and am getting another tb from zzp cause its throwing the car into limp mode cause of it after 30 seconds or so. it's not normal it's a problem. i have no other codes besides scip sensor cause ive been too lazy to look for it in the dtcs but besides the tb codes im fixing and the scip there's nothing as there should be... missfire codes you have leaks or bad plugs or worse....you can't just block the dtc and expect the car to ru n right you need to fix the problem......

well he didnt mean drive it around everywhere he meant be able to drive it from butler pa to sarver pa wich is about 20mintues, and ok ill check for pending codes, i got a new maf imma try that, also i had to get this custom made tb harness adapter from 8 pin lsj harness to 6 pin 2.4 tb that wouldnt **** anything up since its 8 pins to 6 will it??? Another thing is ill check vaccuum lines as i didnt pressure test or anything but we checked all lines... idk why its surging and not idling right, we put it in the air put it in first and tryd to go in first jsut see if it would run or idle any better and it just kept surging.
