Get a hold of the GM Ecotec build books. Both the 2.2 and 2.0 versions. That will help. They have complete parts lists in them of the stock engines, which you can use to then kit bash them together.

so if im getting this right, the 08 cobalt's computer cannot be cracked for the 2.2l? and there is or is not a turbo(i have an auto) that will work for my car? i thought i was a smart guy, but im not finding anywhere that has a tc/sc for my car. please someone point me in the right direction here.

unless i misread the site or if they are fake, andysautosport.com has turbos that fit cobalts. apparently all models. idk. but if someone wants to go there and check it out its a easy site to navigate.

The build book does in fact have a complete parts list, but as I said, it's for the J-body cars. You will have to make a few small changes, specifically with the throttle. Yes, it's pretty much the same as the SS. Just go download them (they are free) and read them. There are separate books for the 2.0 and 2.2, but get them both and do some reading.

i got a 2007 cobalt 2.2l ls and i got the Garrett Turbo GT Alpha Turbo Kit and the hahns 3in exhaust from the turbo back and also a exedy stage 2 clutch. I read that the ecm changed from 2006 to 2007 and my dumba** already bought it all. now the turbo kit i got came with the SCT flash. So the question is with will work if i use it and can my engine hold up to that turbo
