First of if this is a repost sorry cause i didn't really look around much so if it is just delete it.

Anyway I'm picked up the newest edition of Modified MAg today and they had a picture of a turbo set uo for the 2.2 L cobalts that was at the SEMA show so I'm thinking that it must be a respectable product. So here is the link tell me what you think of it.

Yes it is a repost.

 

OK so what was the conclusion on it is it good or bad

 

Have a look-see:

Garrett officially lists Cobalt kit on their web site
The Garrett SEMA L61 Turbo kit
Garrett turbo kit *pics
Garrett Gearhead letter i got today about turbo kit for 2.2
2.2 litre turbo kits are here

 

It's not out yet

 

It will be out very soon since SCT is tuning 2.2's now (well once they release it that is)

 

Got a weird question, will I be able to run regular grade fuel for city driving and mid/premium for getting the full potential out of the turbo? That's sort what kept me away from a supercharger, not being able to run anything less than 91.

 

on any sort of forced induction, you will want to run 91+ octane.

if you dont run 91+ octane, you can take the damage to add premature wear to your engine, and possibly catastrophic engine failure.

 

Yup. Helps lower the chances of knocking.

It's especially needed on a 10.0:1 compressened engine like yours.

 

You'll love filling up with the good stuff and you know it In the long run its really not that much more than the cheapest, maybe 10 bucks a month unless you drive like crazy.

 

cheap bastard!! it's only like a dollar difference to fill up!

 

All very good points guys. Also thinking more about when fuel goes back to rediculous prices in the summer, but now that I think about it more with your guys' input, it doesn't seem to matter.

 

first good luck tuning it and second its still under the hp of the ss/sc

 

as far as the crazy gas prices, even here in CA when 87 was $3.40, 91 was still the same $.20 more than regular at $3.60

 

You sir need to read more. He won't have to tune it. It will come with a tune via the SCT LiveWire device. And then, if he wants to tune it, he can, at any of the SCT dealers around the country, Third, you're right, it's not rated higher then the SS in horsepower. But Stock SS for retail Garrett kit, I best it's faster.

 

so, what's your point?

 

I just LOVE IT.....ABSOLUTLY LOVE IT when the SS/SC guys come in here and flex their supercharger. listen guys, ur blower aint all its cracked up to be. and im probably gonna start another flame war cause im good at it, but man this has got to stop...

 

see...generalizing that ******* up there as representing ALL ss/sc guys was a dumb move...theres really no difference between an SS member and a n/a member....they just had a little more cash when they were car shopping compared to us..thats all

if that one dude up there wants to show off his small *****...let him, and laugh at him...dont say everyones like him

 

Tummys ***** is big...VictoryRed & Allshot told me so

 

hey u could supercharge your car with the turbonator look for 50 bucks 35 hp then flex the turbonator

 

please tell me you are joking

 

i do have a legit question though .... how about an actual sc instead of a tc.. i like the idea of a sc more then a tc. could u take the tuning that is possibly coming out and bolt up a sc and make it work..

please dont scure me

 

if you can tune, you can do anything....buy some piping, an intercooler, if you like you can get the M62 from GM or a diff model, tune it up, and whala! a 2.2 SC

 

i'd rather have the blower too. probably a lot easier to install and can get you to your engine's breaking point just as easily as a turbo.

 

wow this turned into supercharger vs turbo thread.. guys there both the same thing they both blow air into your engine..
