Looking for advice and suggestions for making my turbo more noticable sound wise.
Been looking around, cant seem to find any details to the cold air intake that is specific to my 1.5L V4 malibu.
Would greatly appreciate the help.
I've watched videos that suggest doing a straight down pipe where the turbo exhausts the hot air and installing an after market cold air intake. Even read getting an after market exhaust kit.
How much is necessary for the desired affect and how much of is purely for the sake of "money is no object"?

Since when did noise equate to power or performance?

I don't see anyone here suggesting it does. I think this quest was just noise. I don't know what drives someone to want something to sound like struggle but to each their own (as long as I don't have to hear it).

I replaced the stock air filter with a K&N and my 20 LT seems more responsive. Heard the blow off the first Day but haven’t after. Mass airflow sensor may have adjusted by second day.

I bet you shaved half a second off your 0-60 with that enhanced response time. The oil on the K&N will help lubricate the CVT chain so it runs quieter and faster. If you get going on LED headlights you might shave another half second once the MAF adjusts for the cooler light.
