Hey guys, joined a few days ago. I just picke dup an 09 cobalt ss rally yellow with 55100mi. this is my first turbocharged car coming from an 02 svt focus. going to do some searching around before I start asking questions glad to be a part of the ss community.

 

Welcome and be ready to get random problems and rape other cars!

 

Thanks. how can I find Members near me? I would like to have someone look at my car/drive it, being I dont know if its sluggish or anything this is my first turbocharged car. also, I cannot upload pictures for some reason.

 

Where are you located and does it feel sluggish?

 

welcome, mr bill is going to be jelly

 

Welcome to Cobalt land, Once you enter there's no escape.

 

Seems like all of the rally yellow SS/TC are in America

 

Im located in wilkes barre, pa. the car feels strong to me but ive never been in a turbocharged car. when I bought the car, owner said it had ZZP upgrades, Intercooler, radiator, upper / lower charge pipes, MAF reloaction, Blow off valve kit, ZZP dyno tune. He say's it is at about 320 at the wheels. Also has GM stage 2 upgrades.

I would just like to meet up with someone local with some experience behind these cars to give it a better look over than i could.

 

Welcome. I'm not far from you.

By the way, there are no GMS2 upgrades for the Cobalt SS Turbo, only GMS1.

 

Welcome, post some pics!

 

post pictures of your car

 

It wont let me post any pictures form my desktop?

 

Use photo bucket and paste the image code.

Welcome ..you gonna love your tc...best bang for the buck performance wise

 

Good luck brother

 

Thanks guys.

 

that vacuum line to nowhere is interesting tho.

 

yea i'm trying to figure it out thought is was to an oil catch can or something but i dont know.

 

Find where that line goes.

 

car looks clean ... those white LNF wheels

im on Long Island, Staged is a great guy and he is like your next door neighbor ... lucky you.

 

I looked everywhere I cant seem to find where that line is supposed to go. and cant trust anyone near me to look at it. also, it usually boosts around 10psi when Im hard on the gas. whats the average stock psi for these cars?

 

It should be 16 or 17 psi on a stock tune, 21or so psi on a gms1. I'm running 24 psi on a custom tune.

Something isn't right, find out where that line goes and do a boost leak test!

 

yea something definitely isn't right. if it's been zzp dyno tuned to around 320 whp you should be seeing way more than 10 psi

 

That is very weird. Is it 10psi fo sho? Limp mode is usually 5psi or less.

That line looks like it's from the stock BPV.

Can ya get us a picture of where the intake goes into the turbo? Heres a pic of mine(I use an aftermarket VTA yours won't look the same). I believe the line is from this. The second picture is the stock plastic one to give you an idea. They might have a block off plate and the hose just chilling by itself.
