good to know but i havent opened her up yet.....i just got back from vegas so ill c how that goes......but just crusing and 1/2 - 3/4 throttle ive seen 13.8~14.6 so yea i know i need to get her tuned.....its all good im working on it

hmmm ur right.....well thats y im not smashing it yet...and i really havent turned up the boost yet....u know im playing it safe till i tune her.....im running like 1~2 psi right now...u know playing it safe...

*TRIX*

wtf is that internally wastegated or external or is there even a wastegate on there it looks like you ran the tube from the turbo straight to the bov. no offence not only that but you are def running more then 2 lbs of boost with your turbo spooling that easy

mrsilent13

its internal wastegate....and well yes i ran the the charge pipe to the bov and then up to the tb. i had to put it on there somewhere...and down there just made sense to me.....i have an ic but i havent installed it yet cuz i need some more piping

Nice Work On The Turbo Set Up
Let Us Know How It Goes On Tunning And Lets See Some Runs Dude

*TRIX*

well watch it with the placement of the bov and everything cause of heat water and all sorts of other things. otherwise its a pretty clever place to put it. do you have a manual boost controller?

mrsilent13

i do but i havent installed it.....

hey im working on it...right now i dont have an exhaust so its pretty dam loud...i should have that fixed by 2morrow....im looking to get 3 inch turbo back exhaust.....we shall c how that goes tomorrow ill keep you all posted

Smitty1017

Loving the sound it make when idling..not sure if its your exhaust or the turbo but it reminds me of a water bong haha

mrsilent13

lmao.....yea i dont have an exhaust....im going to get one in today if all goes well...but yea ur right it kinda does sound like water bubbling..lol

well i went to the exhaust shop...and after the ******* tried to screw me out of 800 bucks i walked out of there.....well he went down to 750 and then 700.....he must of had a bowl of retarded when he woke up....well after i got pissed and walked out i came home and ordered the tuning from clear image....i can worry about the exhaust later.....

how drivable is the car without a tune?

hey dude you got the garrett essentials kit and then did your own charge piping intercooler and BOV right? can you give me some info on the charge turbing ID and what brands/ parts you used? im thinking of doing my charge tubing myself and i need some info. paying and extra grand for some pipes and an intercooler seems like more than it should be.

mrsilent13

well im only running like 1~1.5lb of boost...so it pretty much drives like stock...although yesterday i did hit limp mode for a few seconds then i turned it off and it came back to life.....im not going wot on it yet...until i get her tuned.....i drive her at like mid to 3/4 throttle...well my turbo originally came off some one elses cobalt....that was tuned by alpine developments....the kit had no bov or ic and no oil fittings to the engine...but i had all the oil lines so i did some shopping at some aftermarket stores like super autobacs in stanton ca...and then some perfomance shops in oceanside ca....i got the right fittings....so i thought....it turned out they were the wrong thread.....its all good....i had a tap and dye set and that fixed the problem....but yes i got my piping from ebay including the intercooler and bov for like 200....but i need more piping to place the intercooler in the correct location...but im not too worried about it right now...i need to get her tuned then ill worry abou the rest cuz i love how she pulls at only one pound....i cant even imagine 8lbs

racehtecobalt

cool.........i really appriciate it when people decide to go all out and just say fu$% it just turbo the bitch....

lokochon

very nice gratz

mrsilent13

yea i know i cleaned it last week...lol

Smitty1017

did you have to do alot of bending the piping kit or was it mostly just like putting together a puzzle? lol

and one more question: (mostly aimed at halfcent, if hes reading this) would I regret it later if I bought ebay intercooler/bov/tubing instead of garrett?

Nice job.What did you use for a turbo manifold-turbo?

Smitty1017

alpine developments kit i believe

mrsilent13

read above

i piping i had was universal and i already had an idea of how it was going to go on...i had seen pictures of turbo balts and had a picture in my head of how i wanted it to look....and well since the ic wouldnt fit with the piping i had i adapted and overcame

mrsilent13

well i just got off the phone with clear image auto

they have my order and my payment....i should be getting another call shortly in the next couple days and that will mean that my tune is in route....im so excited i cant wait

mrsilent13

so i get a call from beth @ clear image....and she tells me that vince cant tune my car for some reason.....well i gave vince a call but no answer...i left him a message hopefully he gets back to me later if not tomorrow....well i havent gotten a refund for my tune yet...as i still have hope that vince can and will tune my car if not im going to have to go with a piggy back......ill keep you all posted

lil_kano

I believe its because he's still working on the other cobalt thats F/I and probably wants to wait to see how that turns out before he goes any further with anyone else.

I would just give him some time.

mrsilent13

i really hope thats wats holding him back....but ill try and talk to vince 2morrow and find out wat the real issue is

hopefully he can write me something im in need of this tune
