i dont believe so yet...i think he has worked with turbos on them...i do knw he tuned a 2.4 turbo from scratch...so it is possible and he knows how to do that...but it is def more time consuming then a stock tune...

Contact Vince and let him know that you would like this tested and that you spoke with me and then him and i can get together sometime
I already did contact him, he said he just needs a local do let him do some tests.

Economy also means cheap as well

I've already had my fast car stage. Putting money into anything performance wise on the 2.2L engine in this car is, in my opinion, and oxymoron.

But it's better to start with a car with an already strong base.

My point...if it's going to be a daily driver you want faster, the turbo cobalt...not the base 2.2L one.

SRT-4, not the base neon, etc.

My parents told me long ago when I got my first and second cars and on and on...I was doing what most young kids do...rims, paint, performance, stereo systems, etc., "Don't waste any of your money on your cars"..."You're spending all that money and your going to have nothing to show for it (value of vehicle as it ages, etc).

Long story short, if I would have just listened to my parents instead of trying to be cool and get attention, I'd be $50-75K richer today, thinking back on all the $$ I wasted on cars over the years.

Thats why I finally wised up, got rid of my second S2000 and settled on this base cobalt LS. Cheap payments, cheap insurance, excellent warranty and when it's paid for, I'll save even more $$.

To each their own though

Unless you are well off, cars in general should be cheap/paid for, reliable and economical.

Basically anything that increases airflow (intake, header, exhaust) is going to increase gas mileage and power. The same can be said for a good basic tune.
