well after some diliberation im keeping the LS and getting the HAHN turbo kit. got 1200 saved and should have the rest by the Ohio meet.

now. what all will need to be done after the install? i know i tune. but anything else?

 

Clutch

 

Yeah a clutch would be a good idea... SPEC stage 2+ sounds about right.

 

yep the clutch
-new high flow exhaust
-synthetic oil and 91+ octane only from then on

 

so just a clutch kit? anything else that i should worry about? ill prolly get the kit and wait untill i tear the stock 1 out. lol

 

A Hahn 3" exhaust would be a nice addition also.

 

i dunno what the "kit" comes with, so i dont really know what to tell you.
i would really suggest gauges that moniter things, like you wide band and egt gauge, and oil pressure

 

theres really no kit to a new clutch, its just the plates and if you wait on the clutch it will slip alot with the Garrett kit

 

What kind / dia exhaust? hahn or Corsa? I 'm thinking Corsa sport, I like the smoother sound.

 

planned on getting a 3" mandrel bent one. and it comes with a boost gauge alot of diff stuff. im still in the process of saving money. im going to save untill i can buy all the parts and order at 1 time and have all my stuff in at the same time.

 

Hahn and Corsa touring sound very similar... (IMO)

Corsa is 2.5" and Hahn is 3.0"

 

oh get a boost controller sense your running stock internals right?
you dont wanna see no more then 250whp

 

alright sounds good. ill start making a list of shitt i need. might take a month or so to get the money saved up. but it will happen. lol

 

Honestly your best bet is to look at my build, and Sentrys build and see the list of things we have, i think he did a custom kit aswell.

 

No! look at my build LOL

 

alright so after checking some prices and looking through ya'lls builds. how much easier/cheaper. would it be to just supercharge it?

 

=_= IDK

 

idk. ill keep looking/savng. and well see what happens/. lol

 

EWWWW dont be like JN2 lol
the supercharger is SO MUCH easier, but you gotta remember, it takes power to gain it, and the whine sounds gay! its all about that blow off!

 

lol....you need to calm down buddy....both are sexy noises

 

I actually love the whine sound more than my blow off sound, But when it comes to 4 bangers i am a huge advocate on turbos

 

I've seen people get away with supercharging their cobalts for about a thousand. In contrast to that, I've spent close to 5,000. Supercharging is definitely the easier route, and very cheap now a days since there's a lot of lsj guys ditching their m62s for turbos.

I highly recommend going SC over turbo unless you're going to build the engine or get the Garrett/Hahn kit.

 

i should have gone SC...im sure i would be having less issues than im having right now...lol

 

Look up my threads. I gained 30whp with a new clutch/lighter flywheel. also have 3+ CA catted DP and 3" hahn catback.

 

id rather build my engine like i am and put a c-1sc procharger on it than a turbo..
