    2008 Cobalt Stage 1 upgrade

    Does anyone have the stage 1 upgrade from GM for this.. I have a customer whos already bought the sensors and what not, but they want stupid money just to flash the stage 1 map on the car.

    If anyone has the GM stage 1 flash for the 2008 cobalt that would be great.

    do they care about the warranty part of the stage kit? if so you would need the gm dealership to flash it. you can buy the sensors and connectors and just flash the tune to the car. the only problem is the sensors are on back order and who knows when you'd receive them like that. Alas, I only have the 09 stage tune, I know terminator2 was looking for the 08 os also since he just got the sensors and connectors for like 75 lol.

    I have an 09 Stage 1 file I am going to use since I cannot locate a 2008 Stage 1 file to use. Install starts tonight but I have a few other things to disassemble and fix and look over before I finish the sensor install. I think I have a leak at the TB becasue the T-bolt clamps clearimage sent me are junk and they kink and bend as you tighten them. The TB one is kinked pretty bad.

    I can't wait to hear what your able to do with the stage installed lol. That sucks about the t-bolts. I still need to buy the connectors but I've been too busy to even think about it.

    Factory had a worm clamp on there and I have a worm clamp that will work if needed.

    Some were that brand and some were no name brand. All junk compared to the stock T-bolts that were on there.

    Ok, I have the 08, 09 cobalt tunes, and the 09 hhr ss with a stick tunes all up at gatewayecotec.com if anyones interested. Thanks to cobaltssoverbooster for the 08 tune and 09hhrss for the 09 stick hhr tune. I'd like to try and get all of the gmpp tunes together to put online since they wont put them on the tune repository for some reason, even though they are stock tunes.

    The 07 Solstice GMPP tune is on there, why wouldn't they put up the others? Has anyone tried that solstice tune?

    http://www.hardkore.org/tunes/GMPP/ there's the 07 Sol in case they decide to take it down.

    It's on the repository so I would assume it's legit. I just mirrored it on my server. Checked the segments, 12625959=stage no?

    I will be uploading a GMPP section to gatewayecotec.com tomorrow. I have the gmpp tunes for 08 and 09 cobalt, and 08 and 09 5spd hhr along with 07 kappa and 08 kappa without the brake assist. I went through and checked the OS and it seems the 08 HHR SS AUTO tune thats in the repistory is NOT for an auto by the OS. If someone could help me round up all the GMPP tunes out there I would really appreciate it, I will be posting this on lnfperformance also to try and get the other kappa ones. When 2010 cars get more common I hope I can get the tunes for them also.
