Newbie Question
This may sound like a dumb question, as I have not bought nor researched the Chevy Cobalt yet. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to install a supercharger on one of the lower models (i.e. LS or LT)? If so, what kind of engine upgrades are required for this endeavor? If this is possible, it seems like a much cheaper route for us poor folks who cannot afford the SS

yes it can be done, you can put a blower on the ls or lt, the compression is higher on the 2.2, but you need to get the ecu from the ss/sc so tuning wont be to hard nor expensive, i myself am debating on which way i want to go.... i have both options, turbo..... or sc.... so there is your answer, also you need the intake manifold as well..... all in all the sc would be easier and much less expenive.....why do you ask for money reasons of buying one of the two im assuming?

Have you actually done this? Do you know anybody that has? Please don't theorize, stick to fact.
