Yeah, a little lost...
Just saying that slapping a turbo on the outside without addressing any other aspect internally is a recipe for disaster.
My Caravan has upgraded internals that are non-compatable with non-turbo engines, and pistons and rods fall under that cat. It`s not a Viper or Hemi, but the laws of physics still apply. More air, more pressure, looking for somewhere to escape, hey there`s a gasket up there... maybe???

Don't need to o-ring the stock engine until you're pushing a LOT more than the 8-9 psi Hahn's squeezing on the motor. Stock internals are fine up to 450 HP or so. Not a problem for a Stage I kit.

who would want to turbo a cavalier anyways. thats so mid 90's. they need to introduce turbo to us first .!!! not the highschool boys. lol

Well its out and if you want it just email hanh or take a road trip up there and show that you have money in hand and i bet they'll fab it right up.

alpine has one for the 2.2 same issue though the programming and tubing for the intercooler.

Who needs a real turbo, when the HP trick here is just the CGS hot air intake and the IMCO T-924 "turbo" muffler???

What i want is to modify the 05 ecotec supercharger to our car, a car guru named witt on cobaltss.net cracked the tunning problem with hp tuners and i want to some how hope we can use the those superchargers sitting in surplus to our advantage

What about the Drive train, will it handle the extra HP, also how about brakes?

Sorry with everybody talking about the turbo, we forget about the other important items.

I see where the most problems supposedly is the "Intercooling Piping".
You don`t have to have an intercooler, it just helps cool the air flow.
My Caravan didn`t have one and ran just fine, I wanted one, fabbed up my own plumbing. Found a unit in the boneyard, off a Probe, it fit in the space where the a/c condensor/fan unit used to be.
