Yes they are a sponsor here, if you check out the venders section I'm sure you'll find a link to their site...

I wanna say 3 but not sure about the driver side UPPER mount that is under the fuse box...the ones in the pics are of my tranny mounts...one in front and one in da back. It looks like the MOTOR mount under the fuse box is the same size but not sure since i stopped moding my car. but the tranny mounts + turbo tech racing's solid billet engine mount= SEX

I agree with Alpha, this is without a doubt the best mod you can do for your cobalt. Not only does it help with launching, it tightens up the shifts, and adds some security by keeping your engine tight thus helping stop wheel hop. It's a must have IMO and they are cheap.

Get two, that's all you need really.

Just a warning you will get some vibration, it settle down some after a few hundred miles but may never fully go away. They are a small price to pay though for the up side to these.

Nope...they have some for auto tranny as well....little more expensive but worth the money....you need in total 4 mounts...2 for the tranny, 1 for the driver side engine mount and the solid billet aluminum engine mount from turbotechracing.
