Well, I think than I will wait to see how much boost I run and if I like the way my stock boost gauge looks by maxing out, I'll keep it, if not I really like that Autometer carbon fiber one above. Thanks for the suggestions. Blown-4-banger, it def. sounds like you had a lot of fun getting all the parts installed man. I ordered all parts on Tues. night and they are all scheduled to arrive tomorrow. I just can't get tuned until next Saturday . That should give me plenty of time to get everything installed tho. Quick question for anyone, how many miles/time do you think it would be ok to drive with the 2.6" and stuff before getting tuned? The tune shop is about 35 miles away, would I be safe to drive my car there with the 2.6" on or is that too risky?

Blown 4-banger

your asking for SERIOUS trouble if you drive it un-tuned 35 miles.

DTM2188

Thats what I thought, just wanted to double check on that. Thanks for all help and info. Let me know what psi you see when you open the 'balt all the way up.

Blown 4-banger

Oh, man don't remind me! When I drive it my foot shakes because it just wants to mash the gas, and even in its untuned state it slams me back in the seat like someones pushing on my chest! But because of its untuned state I'm scared pushing a lot of boost through it at high rpm might result in engine failure, so I have to keep my right foot in check at least until I get retuned When I say untuned I mean its like a guestimate, we tuned it so that it would be able to run and drive with the current modifications, NOT to race or push the engine in anyway.

DTM2188

Are you going to get tuned using HPTuners?

Blown 4-banger

How else would I get tuned? HP Tuners is the only way to tune our cars other than a
MAF-T but thats not nearly as precise as HP Tuners.

DTM2188

Thats what I meant as another option. Hope everything works out great. Let us know how it turns out, or I let you know how mine turns out depending on who gets tuned first.

Blown 4-banger

I hope to be retuned by tomorrow, for my 18th b-day my parents got me a 2 day driving course, where you race your car on a road course! Its this saturday!!! I don't want to baby my car around the course!

DTM2188

Dude thats awesome, great gift. Happy b-day as well. I wonder how the cobalt will do on a closed course. Have fun with it.

Blown 4-banger

I will definatly have fun! I'm sure traction out of the corners will be a problem but I'll get around it.

Yeah Blown 4-banger's pulley swap was a nightmare.

As for the gauge, I would suggest you order the LED kit for it to make it brighter. I didn't get it and it is a little difficult to see at night with the street lights. I have mine with the red sleeve over the regular bulb. It looks really good, minus the low light thing.

Blown 4-banger

how much is the LED kit? If its more than $10 FORGET IT! I can use a flash light

DTM2188

If I do decide to replace mine, the one you have will be the one I get, nicest one I've seen.

Cobalt_Supercharged

Yeah it looks really good as the sun light hits it. I love the look of CF.

Autometer has a ton to choose from. Check them out. http://www.autometer.com/cat_gaugeseries.aspx Just select the style you like and then mechanical and 2-1/16"

Blown 4-banger

This is the one I'm going with.


One thing... HOW MUCH DOES IT COST!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

DTM2188

Thanks for the link Cobalt Supercharged. Heres the one I would get if i go over 20psi after my mod additions:



I also wonder how much they cost?

Cobalt_Supercharged

Here is the only supporting vendor I could find it on. http://www.aplusperformance.com/cata...oducts_id=7654

DTM2188

So $75 shipped...not bad. Again thanks for the link.

Blown 4-banger

Thats about $50 more than I was hoping
