    I will look and and see what the pcm has on it. They switched from supercharged in 07 to turbo in 08. All I know is I tried to read the tune and couldn't.

    If it's the Turbo one with Direct Injection then we don't support it and have no plans to, it's Bosch.

    Cheers,

    It is Ross, all the 08+ Cobalt SS and the other cars that used the 2L I4 S/C motor are all using the DI turbo now. :(

    Isn't the Cobalt SS / HHR SS / Solstice GXP / Saturn Sky Redline ecm basically the same as that used for the LBZ/LMM diesel trucks?

    If that is true, is it easier to offer support for these vehicles in the future?

    I have a feeling most if not all of the motors will be going direct injection in the future and will probably use a pcm that they already have developed.

    The Bosch sticker on the case is the same, that is about where the comparison ends.

    Hmmmm... Tonight, I got an 09 Cobalt SS Turbo in for a tune.....

    It does appear (by looking at it) to have the LBZ/LMM computer in it.

    When attempting to connect to it, it acts like it's gonna work....till it says "BOOTLOADER REJECTED". But, you gotta give it credit for trying...Right Ross????

    Just so we know, what's the difference between the Diesel controller and the gas turbo unit that makes it such a bear to work on???

    Is it lack of profitability or is there some physical difference that makes it too difficult?

    It's not like I'm gonna get rich with these...I'll stick with the Vettes, THANK YOU. But, they come in from time to time...

    For the most part the appearance is where the similarities end :( I too want support for the E69 (MED961) as well as the E69-4 for the LLT which I think would make the most sense since the CTS, Camaro, G8, New Impala ECT will all be using a version of it. So, back to begging; this Bosch stuff is greek to me practically WAY different than the E series or Legacy controllers.
