Moza13-

also man are you thinking of running some supporting mods that will compliment the turbo, you know to make it a smoother ride?

for an auto you might want a tranny cooler, and tranny mounts.
Suspension wise your going to want to tighten up your suspension to get the power to the ground, such as springs/coilovers, strut bars, sway bars, and so on.

theres so many things you an do to help it out, because the base model wasnt designed for so much power. Im not really in the mood to list out everything that i would reccomend, plus theres not really any "Set" way on doing it. But thats the fun in it, be creative find out what works best

well right now i have an injen CAI and a megan exhaust(yet to be installed) Im thinking about getting the koni yellows and some nice sportlines or even the prokit.. Im getting a strut bar and sway bar... so i mean my suspension will be covered when i get it..ive been planning on getting a tranny mount and engine mount soon.. but i dont know what you mean by the tranny cooler

Moza13-

Auto trannys will heat up like a bitch if running forced induction. To battle that they have transmission coolers, basically what it does is exactly what you think it does, cools down your tranny

Oh and btw the injen wont work for you if you get a turbo kit.

sick06cobalt

its it almost like a boost cooler?

Moza13-

not even close.

A boost cooler is if i think its what your thinking of known more as meth injection. What that does is supresses the detonation of the spark so you can get more air and fuel (boost) before detonation with better timing.

A tranny cooler, literally does with it says it does, Cools the line fluid in the tranny.

sick06cobalt

alright makes sense.. Im guessing that the boost cooler for a 2.0 is part of the upper stages

Moza13-

i think stage 3 and up uses meth injection

NJHK

Not necessarily.

The more power, the harder the transmission will have to work to transfer power. It's not specifically cause of forced induction, it would be the same if it was a N/A car too.

But I think that's what you were trying to say as well lol

Moza13-

^^^ lol yea pretty much, i was just gettin the point across.

Dude im so tired, imma fall asleep with this lap top on my lap and its gonna start my leg on fire and then im gonna have to go to the hospital and then ill miss out on tomorrow's long ass drive home. damn

NJHK

LOL

Sounds like a plan

Fitment wise it will fit the automatic. The reason they say MT Only is because they do not have a tranny tune yet, They have not released if their Advantage III will supports the cobalt(SCT's version of HPTuners) and have the ability to custom tune the ECM and TCM. They better because shop tune only would be complete Bullshit.

NJHK

Which kit are you talking about?
