wow that is very upsetting, i have came across that same thing here...allot of talk but no action...but either way the product is out there if anyone wants to turbo there 2.2L cobalt or 2.4L Cobalt or ION! hell really any 2.4L or 2.2L for that matter!

i know you john was very busy as he was working your car and other cars and kits and moving and packing....uugghhh my hats off to him as he did all that and still got most of it done!

Also i know Dave wanted to finish the tune on a dyno he gave me a call about it

either way! great pics and from what i heard it was a monster for an auto!

thanks for the thoughts.

My car was extremely fast but not drivable. Maybe we can combine them!

Correct me if i am wrong the tune was very close to being done, but it had a misfire code or something and i believe going to a NGK short plug with 2 steps colder and a gap at 35 would of fixed that...

but all in all i think it was drivable for sure and i think it was tuned for peak hp it was the daily driving i think you had problems with is that right or am i way off?

also sending pm...

That's pretty much the situation. Mid-range boost tuning wasn't perfected.

Back Up For Sale.
$2,000 shipped, or make a legitimate offer.


Anyone want the system, let me know.
