HUGE mistake.

Made the mistake of test driving an 09 Cobalt SS with charge piping, intake and stage 2 clutch. Driving my LSJ will NEVER be the same.

What are your mods on the LSJ? There's also always this amazing thing called a TVS.

Stock tune and air box mod. Waiting on my ZZP 3 inch intake. I was wanting a stage 2 kit. Now I'm seriously debating on a turbo swap.

I personally say turbo swap the lsj. Whether you do a turbo swap or go with a lnf, either way turbo's are always way more fun regardless.

What's the stock boost on an LNF? The sales guy let me open the throttle fully and I hit 20psi.

Sounds like a GMS1 tune to me. Could be a mild aftermarket tune as well, but 20 psi would be pretty low for that.

If you wanna turbo an lsj just buy a tc, because by the time you make that lsj reliable(on turbo? bahah $$$$$) you would have spent more than to make a tc just as fast.

20 psi makes as much power as 25 psi on stock turbo...

I also test drove an LNF, although it was stock, it felt much more smooth and enjoyable.

m33pm33p is right. TC is a ready made track proven package. Tune/few bolt on's with pump gas and that's plenty for most people/fwd.

I do wish the TC had heated seats and a center armrest console though. And I wish either had heated side mirrors.

^ You can add an armrest and heated seats too if you really wanted.
