Get the TC! You can make power with them ever so easily.

i was at the same crossroads as you once. I went Hahn (at roughly he same mileage, a little less), it's like a whole other animal....

Id buy the ss/tc it already has turbo,converting your s to turbo is timely and costly.the kit cost 4300.00 bucks save your money and trade yours in.then just buy the bolt ons,you will have a new car , turbo ,and save all that time you can spend 2000.00 on the tc and do every thing the hahn can do and you will have 2300.00 left over,

The LSJ FTW. You don't want a direct injected car after it's been modded and run for many years.

IMO being you have a SS/SC and would most likely loose money on a trade in, I would go with the Hahn turbo kit...

Tuning options are there for the SS/SC and are much easier (IMO)

dont forget the money he loses trading in his car on top of the 2,000 for bolt ons....

Considering the Cobalt depreciates heavily, it would be cheaper to get the Hahn setup. Plus the Hahn kit has a larger turbocharger in the Garrett than the BorgWarner in the TC.

keep what ya got and turbo it. with the ss turbo by the time you do all the mods to it to make the power the hahn turbo kit will make on your lsj, you will have another $3k invested into it. the lsj also has better option when it comes to tuning anf fueling. what sort of power can you get before the DI system on the ss turbo is maxed out???
