hello new to sight
Just wanted to say hello. Been using the sight for awhile now but just figured out how to post a thread. Anyways have a question. I have a dark blue metalic 2009 cobalt turbo stock. But just ordered a k and n cold air intake and a forge bov. Will my car run ok without a tune. Thanks for the help
Welcome.
Just make sure to rotate the filter on the intake so that the metal band is pointing in the 12:30ish direction (the K&N logo on the end of the filter will be upside down). This way your fuel trims should be skewed the least.

Ok thanks for clearing that up so whats a bpv is that what makes the sound after letting off the fuel. I thought that was a blow off valve but please forgive me im new to all this...

BPV recirculates the excess air back through the system. Quieter. BOV vents the excess air to the atmosphere. Louder.
Our cars come stock with a BPV and that's what your replacing for a better BPV (Forge one)

Most turbo vehicles have Blow Off Valves, they shoot the air out of the system and into the atmosphere.
However, our cars have a Bypass Valve. It's the same as a BOV but it shoots the excess air back into the intake so we can take advantage of no-lift-shift, allowing for quicker spooling after shifting.
