As far as i know, nobody here has it. One of the major reasons being that the re-flash for the PCM is not available for the Alero and Grand Am (unlike the 2.4). So that only leaves custom tuning. I will get one after I get the car paid off, etc.. and have it dyno-tuned at a local shop which uses the HPTuners software that is compatible with the Alero.

Shoot, didn't realize this was the Eco forum lol; I know there's some others with the other engines that have the S/C on here.

you must have missed the other thread where the guy was asking how much boost he could get from just putting on an intercooler. I know better.

Actually from what I hear (I could be wrong) the GM charger kit for the Eco comes with the air to water intercooler and everything needed to set it up. If they don't offer the reflash for N-bodies, you could always just make your own fuel mods or get HPTuners and make the injectors and 2 bar map sensor from the kit work.

Or, since you have a 5 speed Eco, you could just turbo it and beat all the supercharged Eco's you may come across

Twin-Charged FTW!!

But really, the Ecotec Supercharger kit (17800003) includes the intercooler core in the intake manifold. The rest of the intercooler parts are not there. You could most likely find the rest of the stuff on ebay or possibly search for a yard that has a Cobalt SS-SC or Ion Redline.

yea i would do turbo if it wasnt my dd. once i had the turbo i would want more and more boost and then i would rebuild the motor with internals then cams then etc. then i wont have a dd anymore. i have 2 other cars that are for that. at least the charger limits me somewhat.

My turbo Alero is my DD also. A built engine with cams and a lot of boost doesn't make it no longer a DD. I'm swapping in a built Eco and hoping to push between 320-350hp to the wheels, and it'll still be my DD. What fun is it to limit your engine? Just start off with a simple kit with 8-10 psi. You'll be pretty happy with it for a while...then just upgrade a little at a time.

Well, if you decide you want more than the supercharger can offer, just add a turbo afterwards...
