Come on did you acctually read the artical or just look at the pictures?? They said they were planning on adding the turbo to the car, That doesn't mean that it will work properly (IE not blowing the head off the motor)

("Losier will soon make another big upgrade to the engine bay, in the form of Hahn Racecraft’s prototype turbocharger kit for the supercharged engine. That’s right, this kit will effectively make the Cobalty twin-charged. Based on the principle of compound forced induction, where one compressor feeds the other, Hahn’s kit should produce about 400hp according to the company’s President, Bill Hahn Jr.")

I hope it works but I question if it is going to be worth the money to dual charge the car instead of just swapping to a turbo allone. Oopps back the age old debate turbo vs supercharger.. How about the nitrous on top of that??? WHP in the 400's very nice one seated car sorry thats where I got to pass. I still like taking my GF for rides,LOL

That photoshoot and and artical were done 6 months ago. The twincharge was installed for the SCN Toronto show. It looked very nice w/ the piping painted to match the car.

Twincharged is running a twin charged setup on his Ion Redline. Seems to be holding up and fast.

These are for the Twincharged's car. It's an Ion RL.

i actually met Keith yesterday at the Sema show in Ft Washington.
1st he is a really nice personable guy. Got a chance to talk to him and also plan on seeing him again at HIN Boston....I am so ready to get my ass handed to me. LOL...his car is just IN_FUCKING_SANE. Definately best car at this show.
He had said they did indeed twin charge the car but wasnt working as good as he expected.He is planning on taking the car down a quarter mile at a show coming up in june....he said by then he is hoping to hit 500 with it.

ididnt really have time to get into it with him because he was being judged at the time but the car in person is really awesome. The entire kit and roofing is CF which i never noticed (guess i havent really taken that great of a look at it in magazines and online)...the trunk motorizes open and so do the doors. I know he said he had made some more body modifcations to bring out more of the CF on the car. he definately isnt finished though.

He definately has skill, said he has been doing this for about 9 yrs now. We talked about the plans for my car. He even said if i needed any help etc. I could talk to him.

Just overall a nice guy who is definately excited about the cobalt...and i told him its nice to finally see a domestic car kicking some ass out there. We both agree there is just not enough coverage yet for these cars to which he said thats exactly what he hopes to occur through this car. I think that so far he is doing a great job.

Yes I do have to agree...Keith Losier does some amazing work. My car was actually done by him at his shop (Desired Customs) in Niagra Falls, Ontario. When I seen his Cobalt on the cover of PAS I was amazed because just about 5 months ago I was up there and it was pretty much stock. But I do thank him very much for everything he has done for me and I plan on going back up there this summer to get more work done to it.

yep I will definately be at HIN boston. It was too much rushing to get done for sema...i decided to get the job done right instead of half ass it for one show. plus id rather debut the car completed to the showable point and im still waiting on some interior parts to come back to us. its just been overall frusterating...im dying to get back into the car circuit.

Yeah I was at the GMSCB last Summer and that is where I met him and set up a time to go to his shop. I'm not sure if I'm going to the JCO one but I will definitely be going to the GM Small Car Bash again this year. It will be my 4th Bash (3 of the previous ones being J-Body Bashes when I had my J-Bodies). So I hope to see you there! Make sure to try and find me.
