Could, but if theres a day or so where its taking a while to do something the post goes back and i dont feel like searching lol
anyways heres the pics after today.
Dan Stopped by while i was ripping the front bumper off, then around 6 Justin showed up and from 6-10 we worked on removing the full kit, and the exhaust. ran into some tricky plugs on them O2 Sensors and the Wideband, but we got them all off.
Gonna Work on it some more tomorrow hopefully get the turbo manifold, and turbo in, and maybe some of the cold side charge pipe ran.
Anyone interested in a 2.5" Pacesetter cat back exhaust let me know, i will be selling mine soon once i have made my 3" one.
Last thanks Justing for helping out tonight, well needed help!

i hate birthdays lol
well what do you know...
ran into a minor set back that makes me wait till tomorrow to bolt the turbo and manifold onto the block.
when bolting the turbo to the manifold i fount that 2 of the bolts i had would not work, sense most turbo manifold come with the studs and you bolt the trubo on the studs and bang your done, but with this one you bolt the trubo to the manifold, so tomorrow im gonna have to take a 3rd trip to transwold and get 2 M25X1" studs and hex nuts.
but hers the update i did so far today.
i rotatedthe hot side today so that the oil feed is facing up, and the oil return is facing down.
then rotated the cold side so that the charge pipe outlet is facing to go up over the block mounted the Exhaust discharge plate and made the gasket with the gasket sealer, installed the oil restrictor, and the oil drain adaptor, relocated the waste gate and set the fitting on that.
later tonight im going to take a look and see what i have for steel and make mounting brakets for the intercooler.
Tomorrow im hoping to get some oil lines and bulkhead, and then tuesday when EI pays me i am going to buy my 2.5" hot side charge pipe, and my 3" cold side charge pipe, and my intake pipe, depending on how much help i have mount them and weld them to place, and bring them home to be finished welded and sanded smooth and paint them 8867 ultra silver.
heres some pics:

its already tuned for 10 PSI
with the 2007 2.2 they have i think whats called a E16 PCM and HP Tuners will nt support it, so the only tunes you can do are the LS1 Edit, and the Terifica Tune from Vince, he has tuned MANY cobalts so i got the tuner last year in the summer, tuned the car, everything seems to be running good for turbo, sense its running rich right now.
tight fit yea, but the thing is, people have GT30's on theirs lol and thats hella bigger then mine

are you putting anything bigger inside the engine to make it handle the extra amount of power?
ever think about getting it dyno tuned afterwards? I know a place up here in moncton that dyno tunes but it cost 499 but he tunes it properly off the dyno with the best possible HP #'s best fuel mileage and and well everything best. he just takes your mods adds it into his expensive computer system puts the car onto the dyno and run's the test
lol way to go adam. GG
