I'm looking to here some feedback on this kit.Just looking to hear from those with the full kit with the SCT tune.(Please no I made my own this and that and have a Trifecta tune) I'm just tossing some ideas around right now. Whats your guys take on it.

 

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.

 

El Mariachi also has the kit but i dont think he got the SCT tune instead he went with trifecta

 

i'm gettin it hopefully by this up coming spring/summer

 

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.

 

what yr balt do u have?

 

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

 

Let me make a wild guess: Is steph wanting a little more pickup for the DD?

 

No its me wanting more. I'm thinking about trading my DD Neon for a 2.2 coupe and put Garretts kit on it. I don't know yet just tossing ideas around thats all. My R/T is a great DD but it's no 200+ whp balt,lol.

I don't have one at least not yet. My girlfriend has an 06 2.2 though.

 

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.

 

oh ok nvm if u had a 07+ i'd say use LS2Edit as ur tuning but yeah...

 

Yeah Not to worried about the labor,lol. Yeah that 197whp is real easy to change i'm not to worried about that either. Emissions and drivability are my biggest concerns.Im pretty much looking to bolt the kit on and forget about it and just do normal maintenance.

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.

 

ever thought about getting a used 2.4 and throwing on the Hahn kit? same price range for the turbo kit atleast and you'd have a little bit more power.

either way though I think you'd be fine with whatever you choose...

 

The 2.4 is a little out of my range, price and insurance. This is more of a want thing and not really a need. My daily driver 2002 Neon R/T is a good ride but I'm just thinking of getting a little more fun out of my commute thats all.BTW I love driving my GF's 2.2 but it can't handle like the neon.

 

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.

 

Nah..i keep chanign my mind

 

Sheesh. I can never keep up with the times.

 

Thanks for the input mkulrey13.
