the TVS is an awesome idea. It's more efficient and will make power more safely than the stock M62. Once you really start getting into dropping pulley sizes and tuning your computer to deal with that along with all the cooling mods. I don't see the warranty remaining valid anyways. I don't think GM intended on warrantying a 300whp Cobalt, so just go with the TVS and make that power as reliably as possible.

You'll have to re-tune with the 1320 so you might as well do it all at one time. lol

LSX RWD S/C conversion
iTrader: (2)
I started to mod a car with a 5 year warranty and 1 year later I threw the last 4 years away.
Make your decision and live with it.

you don't need a tvs for 300 bhp. the ls4 tb is a waste. period.
simple mods work the best.
header
downpipe
2.8
60's
intake
water injection
tune file.
or you can do a gm stage 3 and have 300 to the crank on 100 octane. up to you

I might be confused then, do you or do you not need the LS4 TB for the TVS? I would imagine with your set up probably not because you're only pushin 18 pounds.

Yea, but as I mentioned before I need to either find someone who can tune my car for it or I need to take the time to figure it out myself. But it's gonna be hard to do without HP Tuners.
I do need to read more about that charger though but theres so much misinformation out there it's hard to sift through and find the useful points.

But hears a question..everything in the car is pretty much stock..you cant see the tune..u cant see the headers or downpipe..the 2.8's everyone over looks them..the 60's are inside the motor so u cant see them..and the water injector well where would that be..
what im trying to get at is will gm really notice?
