Any turbo cobalt guys around here?? Need some help.. A buddy just popped his factory intercooler, plastic endtank on the driver's side blew a pretty good sized hole. Anyway, wondering if anyone in the southeast texas area may have a stocker hiding somewhere, some advice/input/whatever. I really don't know a lot about these cars, and he hasn't had it long, its his DD and I'm just tryin to help him out to get it back on the road as soon as we can, hopefully without spending a small fortune. Any help/info is appreciated
edit:
can aluminum endtanks be welded to the factory intercooler? just a thought. Not particularly looking for any performance boost or anything, just to get it running right.

incase any cobalt guys chime in, is ~22 psi in 4th normal for these cars with a stock tune? it has an AEM intake, thats the only aftermarket part i've spotted so far.

Ive had a replacememt end tank installed on a radiator before,cost bout 50$ at a radiator repair shop. Replacement of the ic should be no different. Idk bout price for that though.
If thinking about welding alum end tanks, should prolly consider an ebay fmic. Ive seen small ones go for as low as 80$
