Official Turbo LSJ thread!!!
Alright sorry to jump into this thread again in the middle of a bunch of discussions i barely comprehend lol.
Just have a couple questions .
1) How much would the turbo kit go down/what would be my chances of getting one with the discount or whatever? It won't be this black friday, but if I waited until say next black friday, would it be best to wait (buying the full ZZP kit) or would I just be pissed b/c I didn't get the sale and wasted a bunch of time?
I think I have seen as low as 50% off before. However the likelyhood you will be able to snag it... slim.
2) If I go turbo, what would be better catback wise? ZZP 3" Resonated/catted, or catless/no resonator?
Catless for sure. I run an exhaust cut out personally. I'd get the res too.
3) (not turbo related really) Are there any good coilovers for our cars? I know of the variant 2's , but are they really almost 2 grand? Are they "worth it" in terms of a smooth ride + the low?
In my view you can only afford a race car or a show car. Coils or turbo swap. If you get both, you are just a big baller and seeing figure "1)" I'm going to guess you aren't. So no they aren't worth it, buy the turbo kit.
all i can think of for now

Last year they had $1,000 off turbo kits for the first buyer, $800 for the 2nd, $600 for the 3rd, and $400 off all day I believe.
And yes, cobalts have many coilover options. You can get a few of them for about $1,000-1,000. I wish the redline had options. I wanted the pedders but they were discontinued I guess, looking for B&G, but lots of places say they don't have them. I'll look into it more this winter. It sucks when you can't find the parts you want lol. If I find em maybe I should just order a set for both cars right away.

I am looking at purchasing an STS turbo. I've been trying to collect what information I can and what I've gathered is: STS turbo t3/t4 38 T4b Stage 3 JAB (s-trim) sts t-31( turbine housing .36 AR and compressor housing .60 AR). I've read a few things, not specific to this turbo, that the .36 turbine could be to small.
I am a newb and still doing what research I can but I am wondering if this turbo is suitable to make my goal power 375-385. Any insight on this is greatly appreciated.

I'm not a fan of sts type setups for out cars. No good pipe routing path and they need that small ar to keep from being too laggy.
A normal setup still has tons of options to suit your desired characteristics.

When you say a normal set-up I assume you mean like the bw s252?
this is a huge thread jack btw.
they will still break. the coil overs that break the end link mount are just demonstrating the el cheapo characteristics; a Torrington bearing on the top of the spring under the top spring plate will help. Its ridiculous to have shim as a bearing on a coil over at the front.

Again, haven't looked into it much. That is the only difference? I really don't know much at all about sedans.
It's ok, I approve of the thread jack lol. I have put an email in to Pedders just to see if there is any way I can still get the parts to make their coilovers redline compatible. I really haven't looked into any alternative options other than the solution they offer yet. The B&G's just make me hesitant, and it seems like I am for good reason.

they still offer the conversion and will assist you if you call. kw2's will work but the back has a terrible drop.
that is the only difference between them. most of the stuff will bolt from one to another.
