Pittsburgh Crew < You
Well as of right now, it looks like I'll be keeping the Cobalt. I guess they did alot of looking around, and they might pick up an HHR or something.. No biggie. So for right now, that's how it is. But if something changes again, I'll let you guys know, and this list will be back in effect. But I appreciate the quick interest though..!
BUT!!
I still might be interested in a few deals.. Maybe the hood.. And maybe the headlights.. I'm kind of at a toss-up about what I want to do with the car appearance-wise.. So for those few members wanting to trade for the hood/headlights, we might still be on.. I'll let you know..
AND!!
I changed the deal with the wheels, so don't refer to that, refer to this.. I will trade my Enkei wheel/tire package for a set of SS s/c gunmetal 18's / SS t/c silver 18's (in similar, un-scuffed good condition), OR for a get of 17" G5 GT 5 spokes plus cash..
ALSO!!
Does anyone have any projector headlights lying around that they'd sell for cheap? Bulbs aren't even necessary.. Just the assembly and the wiring.. Hell, even if you have a set that doesn't work and you just want them out of your way, I'll come get them.. I just want to see if I like them on my car.. Lemme know if you have something like this.. We can work something out..

Honestly, I'd recommend the route I went over the Hahn route. Hahn wouldn't answer my questions over the phone, wouldn't support an upgraded turbo, and wouldn't work with me on getting more power out of the system.
ATP helped me out by setting me up with the Garrett setup (which is what Hahn uses) with a GT3071R rather than the (too) small GT2860RS. Couple that setup with a custom FMIC/charge piping setup and custom tune, and you've got yourself a higher flowing, higher horsepower setup like mine.

Turbo died again for unknown reasons. One of these days I'll send it back and have it replaced and maybe try again. Maybe next time I'll get four days out of it.

i looked into it and i was told it couldnt be done, would be mechanically inefficient(blow transmissions and motors couldnt take it) and would be near impossible to tune..
heres where i made the tvs inquiry: feel free to liven up the thread if need be

as for paz- wonder why you keep getting bad turbos...atp's part maybe?

wouldnt that call for a MAJOR retune to get everything functioning properly?

Yeah. it would be a pain in the ass, because you would still have the LE5 PCM.
Honestly though, tuning one compressor isn't harder than the other. Just different. Pick what ya want. Not sure what your power goal is, but I bet a TVS could get you there, and give you a nice TQ curve too.

so really it probably wouldnt be any more of a pain in the ass than what the standard le5 head would be?..well i like the option of the tvs because im only looking for about 350whp or so and i like power that snaps your neck when you punch it...but like i said the chances of me doing this successfully are slim, simply because of no means to tune

Yep! Tonight around 11:30pm beside Heinz Field. A whole big Balt crew is meeting up. Bring beer. 
I'm going to break my own rule and spam our thread:
I'm selling my BC2 body kit... again. If anyone local wants it, let me know before I let someone else pick it up.
