Cobalt SS Stage 1 Self-Install Tips

Written by Corey Mullane | Wednesday, 21 October 2009 | 0 comments

The Cobalt SS is a car that screams to be tinkered, tottered and toyed with. However, when it comes to playing with things like engine control harnesses you have to be careful to make sure you do things correctly or you could seriously mess up your car, mmmk? Now we know that tons of Cobalt SS owners are going to opt for the self-install of the kit and that’s all well and good if you’re up to the task but make sure you at least do the following.

First, if you have downloaded the old LNF Turbo Upgrade Kit instructions (referred to as Stage 1 for the Cobalt SS) make sure to toss those directions in the trash - make sure you keep the directions that came with your kit though as each instruction booklet comes with a unique code to enable your dealer to flash your vehicle with the Stage 1 calibration. The new instructions that you can find in our Downloads section, or in the original “GO!” post, are what you will need to tackle this project with ease. The main detail you will need is the wiring harness diagram to make sure you splice the right wires together – remember the “seriously mess up your car” statement we made above? That’s what we’re talking about.

Second, the new instructions provide you with the calibration number for your vehicle that you will have to give to your dealer to make sure the right calibration makes it into your car. Match up your year Cobalt SS to the correct calibration number and write it down to be able to hand off to your dealer. Easy right?

Follow those tips and you’ll be sure to have a hassle-free Stage 1 install experience. Now for hassle of trying to reign in all that extra power? That’s on you.
