Do you know anything about the motor? Doesn't seem like it.
They put it on a Cavi, yes different computer, btu not different enuff to make big changes.
The Cavi also has a 2.2L ECOTec Motor in it. Same exact motor. Relax Bro.
PS. You dont have to put things in BOLD for us to recognize it!

I think i remember reading it some were on your website. This is going to sound like a funny question...But i think the website said something about the kit coming with some type of instruction booklet. Or is that just a booklet to identify the parts? Cause im very interested, just not that mechanically inclined. I've done some things with engines just nothing this big. Thanks.

i still dont get were 1psi=about 10hp? if this was true the ss sc is at 12.5psi so that would add 125hp. so 140hp + 125 hp = 265hp. is there something im missing? the only major thing different about the 2.0 to the 2.2 is that the stroke of the piston is less. i believe it was said somewhere that the 2.0 starts out with less hp. so 205 - 125 would only give it about 80hp. at 8psi your not going to 80hp. 12.5psi is only giving the 2.0 about 60hp. im not tring to talk bad about your trubo kits or anyone who buys it, its just the people who think they will be able to walk all over a ss sc.

It's a proven fact that most aftermarket kits will provide anywhere from 8-10 horsepower per psi.
Things are so different when comparing an aftermarket kit with a car that actually already comes with a turbocharger.
A Cobalt Coupe ran at 8 psi will BEAT a Cobalt SS, even though the Cobalt SS is at 12 psi...

The 2.2L turbo version would have about the same HP, but it "may" have a little more torque, so, in theory, the base Cobalt "could" beat the SS with the Turbo set at 8 PSI, it would be close.

With the high compression of the 2.2, yes 8 lbs of boost would probably yield 2.0 performance numbers. However, you won't be able to go much past that amount of boost without upgrading internals which equals, time money, and voided warranty= not worth it!

So basically If your not quite sure what your doing, get help from someone who knows what there doing...or take it to a shop? Cause when you say General List of instructions.....it doesn't sound like its going to be in a lot of detail. Just trying to figure out how much I would have to spend getting it installed somewere or me doing it myself... thanks again!

Imo, if you're looking into pursuing F/I just for the sake of being able to "hang" with certain cars you may be incredibly disappointed when it doesn't quite yield the results you were expecting. I'm considering it simply because I want to cusomize my car and make it something I can call my own. Sure if the opportunity presents itself to run an SS/SC or an RSX Type-S I probably would for the sake of seeing what the car could do...but at the end of the day if I lost I'm not going to be overly concerned and think any less of my car...hell I love it as it is stock .

Would the automatic transmission in my LS be able to handle a turbo kit like this or is that disaster waiting to happen?? Very interested in this kit if the auto can sustain the increases in power.
