Hahn doesn't have a turbo kit out for the 2.2L Cobalts. Once again, no tuning solution.
The s/c kit will fit but...deja vu....no tuning solution.

I must admit, I want the SS interior (minus the seats that say SS) and then the body off the SS. I like the kit they have, but then i'd get people hating me because I have all that...

It is!!! Halfcent made a thread about turbo kits. None are out BECAUSE there is no tuning. I hate people that are too lazy to search or too dumb to read and then post stuff as if they "know" something.
This is not directed at you rally.

True...but hp will only go up to about 170 hp. Don't want to sound mean, but comparing a LS coupe to SS/SC coupe is like comparing a Mustang V6 to a GT. Performance wise, they are two very different cars IMO........
dude the 2.0 is a de stroked 2.2 its the same motor and yeah i would not supercharge your 2.2 i would put pistons and rods in it and turbo...so you can kick all ss/sc asses because a supercharger is driven by the crank resulting in a loss of some power there as a turbo is basically free hp cause its powered by exhaust gasses....yall be the judge but that is the way im going just waiting for a tune
