I am with you man! Here is the problem...
I have personally seen and worked with John and Dave and they turn out nothing but sweet products...
BUT even after the vids, and Photos...and dyno sheets it will always seem like its not enough...Till you drive it OR buy it and test it yourself and then and only then will you be completely satisfied...but that is the crazy part if you where to go off and buy it and you are so damn impressed with it others on boards will be down talk it or "wont believe" it is that good of a product till they want proof...
I mean it should be proof enough "proof" if it smacked down a Stock SS/SC..? It should be proof enough with dyno sheets at 6000ft...
BUT I can empathize for those who believed guys coming on here saying they got this and that when they don’t...all I am saying is I am not one to lie or tell stories or talk about things I have when I don’t...I am stating is the car and the turbo kit is a killer setup and you to could be womping SS/SC's all day long
But if you don’t believe me there is another guy on a Saturn’s forum that ordered a turbo kit for the 2.2L that will have his shortly and he will be smoking up RL and SS/SC...But will that be proof enough
Again give me a call if you have questions...

Sorry about the pissed post this morning, i had a bad night cuz my buddy dain(kev you know how big dain is) got in a fight with another one of our buddies(who is an ex marine), and there was drinkin involved. I had to sober up and come home so i wasnt in a good mood. Sorry, just all the "fake" talk didnt help the night.
Kev its all good man, dains working on editing them right now. We will have a vid out shortly, i just want to get a better show of how well the car runs against my buddys Ion RL. Its hard to get a dyno done when your broke, but it will come within a week or so. We're gonna go at it monday, hes just waiting on his direct deposit to come in. I also got a buddy with a turbo'ed cavy thats pushing 8psi. so that will be a good race too. And btw, this is all gonna be on the freeway, where no one is around, goin from about 35 - 75(speed limit) so please dont flame about "racing in traffic". And i will have 0 - 60 runs, and various pulls. Just tryin to get through work and everything all at once. I sacraficed a lot to give my car away for a month, now i gotta get some things done i couldnt when i didnt have a ride anywhere.

Quote: WITT- Who are these reputable companies that tried unsucessfully to make a turboed 2.2?
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.

Turbonetics I dont recall even was going to make one

Thats all I can think of...

alpine is really sweet cause they make things happen now! if they could get a cobalt SS/SC i am sure in a week or 2 they would have 2 kits a twincharger setup and a full turbo swap setup AND they are going to be making full race intake manifolds at a killer price!

Will the full race intakes be for the 2.2's that are NA? because I want a sheet metal intake manifold.

yeah, i know when i was at there shop John said it would be nice to get rid of the plastic intake and shorten the runners so customers could run either NA or Turbo or SC! i was like HECK YEAH! but i really need to get a plastic intake over to him to fab off of!

So can we actually get some pics of this setup or something?
At 8PSI the hissing isn't gonna be very loud... and the blow-off ain't gonna be too loud either.
Honestly if he dosen't get some exhaust and supporting mods soon he's gonna break something... running that agressive of a tune on stock everything else is just asking for trouble IMO.
