I hear you. 2 weeks ago the bolt that holds the ball joint in the spindle was missing and the A arm came out. The tire went back towards the fender, smashed it, then went forward and the car landed on it. luckily i was only going like 2 mph so there wasn't much damage.

How much power are you expecting after all this? I'm hoping.upwards of like 600

If I installed a gtx3582r lol I'm still stock turbo. With e85 it won't make much of a difference.

Here are some vids

Lol thanks... I knew something was wrong in my post... just couldn't put my fiber on it haha

Turbo 4s are this generation's V8. Plus my car would have put up a good fight with most current V8s. But anything under 400hp feels anemic to me. Even my CTS-V needs a lot more balls for me to get excited after driving around my cobalt as fully bolted and tuned for 2 years.

Meh, same goes for a boosted v8 car. Every truck compared to my 08 has been balls ass slow.

Compare a turbo 4 to turbo 8 and I'll choose the latter every time.
