why did you get rid of the RSX? Just wondering, cuz the 2.2 cobalt isnt gonna get to the 12's as easily IMO. The stock setting on the turbo in the GARRETT kit is 8-9 psi so thats what you should run at. From what I know its just a bolt on solution for you.

look through the supporting vendors section and you will find clutches. also look through the classifieds... someone was selling a stage 3 a week ago or so. As for tuning... there is no tuning for the 2.2 so I don't know why you keep talking about tuning.

Not saying I don't believe you, but if you had your car tuned then share how they did it and what they did because they're are about 100 guys on this site that want their 2.2 tuned but can't cuz our computers haven't been cracked.
If you know a way let us know....
Are you running a piggyback?

well im in arizona i went down to a shop called gearhead garage and basically said how much do u charge for dyno tuning he asked me what car i had i said a 2.2 ls cobalt and then he said 300 i said ok when he said ok now i said here are my keys and he tuned it and dynod at 154 hp and 161 trq then i drove home and smoked the tires
I can call him up and ask what software that they used
well whats the reason that you cant tune our cars

Yea, sounds like he dynoed it. did he give you a before and after? plus why tune a stock car? I would find out what they did man, cuz tuning aint out there for us yet. The best we have is piggy backing.

i'm very curious as well and I'm in AZ so if its legit I can vouch for you.
but unless this shop knows that SCT can tune for us that would be the only way possible for you to get a tune unless they are running some unknown software and haven't let the world know.

SCT is supposed to have cracked the E16a ECM. The problem is no one has bought it, and we cannot get any information from SCT about buying the tuning software. So hearing that someone has tuned your car is kinda odd. My car ran great with the turbo but i was run off a piggyback unit. Im hoping before my build is done SCT will release their software with the E16a support.
