If you’ve been looking for an excuse to upgrade your Cobalt SS Turbo up to Stage 1 status then this is it! For a limited time only CrateEngineDepot.com is holding a sale on the much ballyhooed Cobalt SS Turbo Stage 1 kit. Tom over at CED is letting these kits goes for only $498 and no pennies! That price also includes shipping to anywhere in the contiguous US of A however if you live somewhere else, don’t fret, Tom will make sure he can get your kit to your doorstep in a jiffy. If the price isn’t enough to get you going, check out these comments by owners whose only complaint about the kit is that they’ll need new tires very soon.

As usual with anything surrounding the Cobalt Turbo Upgrade Kit, our post yesterday got blasted with comments and questions both on and offline.

Check out those responses after the jump.

Here’s a quick update from GM HPVO on the status of the LNF Turbo Upgrade kit for the Cobalt SS Turbo. As we’ve mentioned before, the way the CARB system is setup, there is no way to know an EXACT date but we hope this small update will help calm the nerves of those that have been drinking Red Bull and not sleeping ever since we announced that the kit would be available for the Cobalt SS Turbo.

That's right. The faster you can get your tail to your local Chevy dealer, the faster you can be equipped with the highly-anticipated Cobalt SS Turbo LNF Upgrade Kit!
