So. I currently have a 2005 Chevy cobalt 2.2L and yes I know. Untunable. Say I’m gonna purchase a wrecked. 2009 Chevy cobalt with a 2.2L. Can I just swap all the computer systems and be able to now tune my car?

It's not that simple. The 2009 2.2 engine is a LAP engine. the 2005 is an L61. The LAP has VVT, a different engine harness, and different ECU. Also some of the electronics and thier wiring are different, which is the main reason just swapping the ECU will not work. If you want to stick with a cobalt, it might just be easier to find yourself a 2.4, and 07+ 2.2 or an SS. prices on Cobalts are low.....
