Today is the day...hopefully we can get our answers to those questions, if things look good hopefully some people will be buying the kit today.

*edit*

IT'S HERE!!!

The Alpha kit is officially on Garrett's website:

Good news for the 2.2L!

biniecki

only bad news is that its for manual transmission only

javit24

Its there but theres no price tag on it and if u go to buy now its not even listed on there

Yeah but i dont think anyone is going to run 20+lb's on their engine. I will be making a new thread on the Saab Manifold as soon as saab gets me the manifold. I ordered it 2 months ago, and they still havent gotten it in. im gonna call them today and find out WTF is going on. They ordered me 10 to see if the new part # they gave it slips through customs. Maybe they will give me all 10 for the price of 1 and ill do a Saab Manifold give-away or something =P

wdsoccer

if you do that i'll take one

javit24

same here

07LSC

Maybe not now but if i still have this car when the warrenty runs out you better believe it's going to be running some serious boost.

Just remember to upgrade internals.

RollermanDan

Just got off the phone with and the price for the Alpha kit is....


$3699

An AMAZING price for this kit!

javit24

Damn, i was expecting 4000+ not bad at all, no if only i had $3699 to spare

RollermanDan

Now my next questions are, do you think that if someone upgraded to the GT2871r that it would throw off the tune that SCT has and is there the ability to do the custom tune on the 71r?

CobaltPerformanceParts

We just where informed of the turbo kit release as well. We have updated it on our site. Garrett Alpha Turbo Kit for the Chevy Cobalt 2.2L MT

SlateFox

javit24

Group Buy!

celicacobalt

looking good, i have the hahn stage 2 kit that is based off this kit and its great, glad to see the 2.2 being able to boost now.

Helltime

Both sites say for 2005 model years and up, I was under the impression that there is still no tuning for the 07 with the E37 ECM, true or false?

biniecki

idk but if you look at the parts list for this kit it comes with its own engine control module

FastPace Motorsports

Yea, there site says 05-06 manuel tranny only. It looks like i'm saving for a piggy back system.

RollermanDan

Tried calling several places today to get more information on the SCT Livewire tunes. From what I was told (which wasn't much since they didn't know) but doing the gt2871r throws off the entire tune and they were not sure that you're able to do custom tunes. Hopefully Halfcent can elaborate if he has any new information.

ORT

Hey halfcent...its me your favorite guy with the questions haha.

Anyways. One quick question, that I think you have asked garrett already but i'm not sure. Since I will have a built or atleast semi-built motor how will I be able to up the boost on this kit to say around 12 to 15 lbs? Just upgrade the wastegate, or do you think order different turbo?

I'm just wondering this. I thought you had asked something similar to that before, i'm not sure though.

Thanks man

Matt

i think your doing what i wanna do someday build up my motor strong enough to take 15+lbs of boost an then turbo it. see how much it puts out around 7lbs an then buy a bigger turbo an run it 15lbs an see what happens idk but thats alot of HP! then i say to all the cocky ss/sc an srt-4 owners BRING IT!! o an you mustang bitches too! ill try you as well

SlyBlu7

damn, anyone with an '07 Auto is seriously SOL here! Man, I was thinking the same thing about 'stangs. I have one right up the road that's been talking serious smack about my car.
Will there be any way to get that turbo to work on my car without redoing the transmission? Are there even turbos out there for suckers like me

Vin

The 2007 people will have to wait until HP Tuners is done with that ECM. There is a different computer in your car than the 2006. That is your first problem and there is no need to be sad. They have already said that your computer will be covered in their next software release I believe.

The problems you have with your automatic are what the rest of us also have with an automatic. We need to know if SCT will allow us to do a transmission tune. We should be able to do a tranny tune with the SCT setup. I do not know what HP Tuners plans but I suspect a transmission tune will also be availble. You should be getting answers more faster than us with the E16 orphan computer ever did.

By the time we are done troubleshooting all of the glitches with this new system you will have your computer tunning and probably an easier time than we will. Afterall its mostly the same hardware. I even have SAI to deal with (like everyone with the late model 2006s).

If a tranny tune does not come out, would the ShiftPlus and a tranny cooler allow us to run the turbo without problems?

SuperchargedSS

I heard from Garret that this kit will only provide approx 50-70 whp out of the box. Thats about a 1/4 whp for every piece of hardware included in the kit :P

This is good news for the 2.2L crowd.
