there isnt a supercharger kit from GM for the 2.2L cobalt. . .

No there is not... the compression sucks for that anyways, those cars are not meant to be force inducted. Hence why they saved you the trouble and SC'd the SS for you

bah the compression is fine, its only 10:1. The 2.0 is 9.5:1 so compression really isnt a problem. In actuallity the 2.2L is just as capable for boost as the 2.0. They are essentially the exact same engine, just being that the 2.0L has been destroked with forged rods and crank. But otherwise its the same block and ive seen this motor handle boost very well. 300HP is doable safely on the 2.2L motor

maybe I was thinking about the 2.4?

the 2.4 is higher compression 10.5:1 but realistically that really isnt too high either, considering LS2s are like 11:1 compression and people boost those. And in certain cases higher compression actually works better for boost, the higher the compression ratio, the more power that is produced per pound of PSI. Its just harder to tune, you cant run as much boost, and you really need to watch for knock or detonation.

I just like to keep it safe either with low compression or already stock boost. I would fail epicly if I tried to boost something. Predetonation up the wazoo.
