there wont be any stage kits.. as of right now.. only because the engine is maxed from the factory. same as the trany.. so if they do some sorta stage kit it will have to involve a trans.

also your statement isnt entirely true

why doesn't GM make these new Turbocharged Cobalts 4WD? it'd be like an american EVO and cost much less....i do firmly believe that maybe GM should take a qeue from Chrysler in regards to the new Chargers...check that shit out!

Hello,
I was looking to install a remote turbo and was wondering if you might know how much psi a stock 2.2 engine could take?
Also if i were to install new piston rods to reinforce. now if i only did the rods and no turbo do you think it would be smog-able still?
Im really only looking to run about 8psi at the moment.
Thanks
