2.2 turbo finished
#127
That huge drop is due to the super restrictive OEM exhaust system. The turbo can only boost as much air in correlation to how much exhaust gas it can flow. When backpressure builds up due to a restrictive exhaust it limits the CFM rating of the turbo. Hince the power drop. Free up backpressure and free up mo powa!

cant flow past the down pipe on the turbo...
if you ever listen to duanes car all you hear is SSHSHHHHHHHHH (shift, tire spin) SSHHHHHHHHHHHH (shift, tire spin) SSHHHHHSSHHHHHHHHHHHH
that poor little exhaust is trying to get the air out as fast as it can! like i said, with a nice flowing exhaust! DAMN!

Sooooo........ When are you going to get the Aftermarket Exhaust ? And when are u gonna get it Dynoed Again ? I know that Turbo charged engines get big gains from exhaust mods.

Honestly the camera phone video he posted earlier is accelerating slower then my LS does with just GMPP Intake, Custom Exhaust, and GMPP Manifold. I dont believe all this bullshit. Until I see pictures of the car turboed and a video of it on a Dyno all this talk is garbage.

The video of it on the dyno is here, was posted on page 7 of this thread
http://alpine-developments.us/cobalt_dyno.htm
It might show up as a red 'x' if its not loaded or something

i love how you guys think its fake. i've been really short on cash, so much as that i been carpooling to work with my roommate cuz i couldnt afford gas until i get paid. Thats why the videos havent been out. And btw, im not trying to promote anything, im just showing you my car, cuz i thought you guys might like this. so all this is from me wanting to show you guys, not promote anything, so you know what, why should i put any effort into showing you guys something im pretty psyched at if your gonna throw it down. And yes, tonight i was out having fun with it. Sorry you guys arent 1st on my list of things to do.
Oh, and the ONLY reason tbat bad quality video was out is because YOU GUYS cried cuz you wanted to see a video fast. That was the only video i could take and post quickly because my phone died. I have lots of video on my friends camera but i am really doubting posting it anymore cuz you guys seriously just pissed me off.

Calm down there, spring for a turbo kit or fab one up and you can have an entire library of videos.

i'm one of the older members around, and i think that people trust me to the point where they would believe something i said... i never made up any bullshit stories, and try to keep it real... but if i said i ran low 13's in my 2.2, it would be the same thing... people would be all over me for proof... why? because i would be the first, and no one's ever saw it before... if tons of 2.2's were running 13's, no one would ask for a video because it would just be accepted as the norm... like ^^ said, we just want to see the vids...

Who are these reputable companies that tried unsucessfully to make a turboed 2.2?
Some of you guys need to get off the computer and to a drag strip or car cruise sometime. My local dragstrip has at least one turbo 2.2 jbody eco there at any given time and I see a 2.2 cobalt turbo every once in a while as well. Kinda how Dan and I knew and posted months ago that the SMT-6 was a possible tuning method.
You guys are jumping his ass like you have money sitting in the bank, just burning a hole in your pocket for a turbo kit. How many people are actually going this route? Check out the number of 2.4s turboed if you can't figure out what I'm getting at.
I would love to see Paris Hilton sex tapes addressed specifically to me, but do you think I'm high on her priority list? Ever wonder why people with unique or decently fast cars are no longer active on this site? I can see requesting a video once, but to spam and flame is getting a bit out of hand.

Hann Racecraft, Turbonetics, theres another but i can't think of it. and don't give us the **** that u see turbo cobalts all the time. Thats a given, anyone with the funds and resources can make a turbo cobalt, but a majority (not all) run standalone. the majority of people on the forum want to run stock ecm. Thats the whole issue here. someone finaly acomplished it and now we are excited, but in order not to get our hopes up we need:
1:proof (pics, videos)
2:long term testing(this is an ongoing process for him and anyone else going this route)
3:problems, and how their fixed.
these things are what people are looking for Witt. He might not be tring to sell anything, but alpine is. And we need info, thats what forums are for, to gather and give information.
