chances are slim but imagine if the nitrous seloniod sticks open.... now thats a couple grand that just set u back cause of something so small


THAT all played into my wanting to go turbo

Nate that would be sweet.

Tire Rack is an *******, I ordered new tires on friday(225/40 18, so not stock size) and yesterday my phone died at work. So I started my phone up and I got a message from them. He says yeah I just got a question for you about the tires you orderd for you cobalt as they aren tthe stock size. And by the time I got my messages, it was too late to call them back. Im pissed cuz I was planning on doing them on monday. Why couldnt he just order the ******* tires I wanted and be done with it. I obviously knew what I was doing and i know the difference is size is going to effect the speedo. WTF Mate??

i really dont see much a difference between internal and external gates under low boost situations. Only thing u get from external gate that internal cant give u is the kick ass open dump lol. but depending on what turbo ur looking to get u can convert it to external gate easily
