Hi, thank you for the warm welcome!
Even though the Garrett Cobalt isn't as trick as some of yours' on the site, I hope to be able to share some of what we've done with our 2.2L Ecotec as well as our work with some of the Cobalt racers out there including Marty Ladwig, Bryan Jiminez and Erica Nocita.
To g5mike, I'm not sure that I understand the question entirely. The gains made by the Garrett Cobalt Alpha Kit have resulted in less horsepower than the Hahn Turbo Kit, but they are for different engines. The 198 HP that the Garrett Alpha Kit produces is on a 2.2L Ecotec whereas the Hahn Turbo Kit is putting down 241 HP on a 2.4L. The Hahn Kit is based off of the Garrett GT Tuner Kit. Running through the math of percentage of power gains versus stock horsepower at the wheels (estimated based on HP numbers found at www.chevrolet.com; 148 and 177 respectively and subtracting 25% for drivetrain loss), both kits result in approximately 155% of the stock HP at 8 psi. I hope that this helps to alleviate any confusion.

We look forward to being a member of the community and hope to see more and more Garrett turbocharged Cobalts out there!

I am one of those Cobalts that will be running your turbos. My question is why the hold up in getting the GT45 to your Canadian dealer, JRP???
We really need this turbo ASAP but we get no answer to when or even if it is on it's way yet.
Your response is greatly anticipated and appreciated.

have you guys attempted to fit your Garrett kit onto any Ions?
and do you have any info on the SCT tuning software used with it...is it just a reflash or is it a tune loaded through their livewire setup?

The Garrett tuner kit can be used on an LSJ. You would need an intake manifold from either a L61 or LE5, or use a custom TB mount for the existing manifold, which I believe I have seen on here by one of our other vendors once already. And then you could tune it with HPT.

I'm not so much worried about the physical installation of the kit itself as I am the tuning...
