That wouldn;t really **** the Turbo up. Its a pretty solid Turbo too and its not like youve driven the car 1,000,000 miles or anything.

Whats wrong with your Turbo?

Nothing but I do notice some lag as if my clutch is slipping and i saw a thread with a guy who tested with and without the spring and he said with the spring there was some lag and it felt as if his clutch was slipping

Did you end up going? It dies from now until a week or two after labor day.

Sandbar is where it is at on Fridays.

Let me know if you need more info on that and guest list/VIP/Bottle services.

hmmmmm I donno. I haven't heard of a Spring causing a lag? If anything ppl get stiffer springs to hold the boost better.... and make it feel like theres less lag?

I'd say thats exactly what the problem is. The Learn down needs to be taken off and witrh a nice tune, the spring with really be able to do its job....

you should get a HPtune or Trifecta. although you did say you were getting a Camaro SS so that probably wouldn't make sense.

unless of course you were just ******* around when saying you ordered one.

No the Camaro is still happening, just not till the 2011 releases now, better pricing will be there and bugs worked out. No need to have the first one like I had to have with the 08 SS/TC.

So that being said getting a tune might still be in play, just no more bolt ons except the side exhaust. Charge piping is fine stock unless I go with the Dejon or CIA.

yea pushing coolant somwhere isnt cool, i just got back from Tune Time and Tom put my stock tune back in. All i can say is weak sauce now it sucks sooooo much. I believe im going to leave it stock tuned and see if i loose anymore coolant, if i do i will take it to the dealer then re tune it after they find the problem. If i dont loose any coolant ill pretty much know its the tune so i wont do anything till the GM warranty covered stage kit is out. O well, my focus now is on being single and ******* everything that walks, HARD!! and paintball and chillin with my homies!

Now I wanna see what times you run knowing how to drive it better and see just how much faster TTP's tune made you.

taking it back to GM may be a bad idea considering they're sniping out aftermarket tunes now. they can find one in a few minutes with Tech2.

:O

EVEN WHEN FLASHED to stock. there was a thread about GM being able to check the flash history or something on most GM vehics.

just telling you that if you take it back they have the right to check for an aftermarket tune. and if they find it they won't warranty anything.

dick.

So Driving on the hwy..... I was STUNNED!

I avg'd 37.1 MPG from my dads till I got home.... and just before I got there I was up to 37.3mpg.

Its not like the counter on the Cobalts...where you can just reset it and it tell your a brand new #... Even if you try resetting mine it keep's the #'s from B 4. So I was really impressed with what I was able to do on the Hyw with this thing staying out of boost. Not to mention I had all the windows down and sunroof back.



37.3!!!!
