Nick, if you don't get any responses, pm this guy from NH: https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/parts-66/mkulreys-turbo-sedan-part-out-thread-142807/
He is one of the few guys on here that I know of that actually bit the bullet and had the kit installed.

Thanks Joel
I know the kits a perfect fit so I'm not worried about that. It's things like emmisions,driveabilty,fuel mileage,does it remove SAI if equipped? Can SCT dealers work with the tune. Any info would be great.

As far as I know, SCT dealers can't work with the tune. Garrett actually owns the tune since they paid SCT to write it for the kit. If dealers could tune it, I probably would have been to your shop a year ago.

Exactly. Your way better off going with trifecta. At least you have the ability to modify it when needed. Well, kinda...

Oh, gotcha.
Well, labor would be cheap.
BTW, the guy in the link I posted was putting down something like 240whp/250wtq with an aftermarket dp and exhaust. Not too shabby for something Garrett says will make 197whp.

I'd use ls2edit for sure being that I can use it at my work. But the problem is my budget is in the 05-06 30-45k range.

SRT swap into the R/T? that can't be too expensive right
I think you'll be fine with the Garrett kit
and yes handling sucks on the bottom end Deltas but its certainly comfortable (atleast compared to what I have now...you feel bumps in the road that you can't even see)

IM "The guy from NH". Check my Sig for my current numbers on a stock motor with just a clutch/flywheel and 3" turboback to add to it 
As you know this kit is a perfect fit, not one problem. The tune isnt too shabby either for a canned tune. SCT Dealers cannot adjust it as its locked per garretts request. Like any other tune there is room for improvment but overall its a very safe tune.

Hey, its the guy from NH!
Boy, your car sure ended up alot different than what you thought when I gave you that stock exhaust. It came along way, mike. Too bad you're parting out.
