im pretty sure its just a stock SR20DET. he was gonna buy the turbo i had for sale but we checked and its the same one he already has.
and i dont think i know anyone named travis with a cobalt. but i could be wrong lol

sorry i havent been updating this lately. but im glad to announce that the install is under way! after running into a few problems with the wastegate clearing the trans, rusted screws, and a missing part, everything is going good. i now have until monday to do everything due to the fact that the part i need is being shipped from pennsylvania. my progress expectations were not completely met, but i think we made a pretty big dent in the work that needed to be done. the oil pan has been dropped and tapped, front bumper has been removed, turbo is bolted to the manifold and the wastegate issue resolved. most of today was prep work and running around to different places. tomorrow is looking to be work work work, but i was planning on that anyways

I'm sure you already know, but be very careful man. Running an un-tuned ECU may cause more grief than good. We don't want you blowing your 2nd motor..
