Has anyone tried to drop a turbo into a 2.4 LS? or know of a place to get a kit?

I thought the Ls model only came with the 2.2
Either way I don't. Think anyone on here has installed a turbo on a 2.2 or 2.4 but I could be wrong.
You might have better luck on the cobalt ss sight on that?
There Is someone selling universal fit turbo kits for the 2.4 right now for $599.99
If you find someone who has put a Turbo on an HHR themselves please let us know.
Hopefully someone Will chime in who has

LS models only came with the 2.2.

Only turbo install I can think of is on a 2.4. And he has been working on getting it right for years. It seems the SC option is easier.

Hmmm. The OP's bio says he has a 2008 LS w/2.4. ???

Anyone willing to install one of these Ebay tubo kits before I do so I can see how many hours it takes ya to do all the mods lol
I have seen some amazing performance out of homemade turbo kits

Stay away from it. It has nothing to do with turbocharging your LS/LT

yeah thats for the ss model that already has a turbo, just reprograms a higher boost on it.

That is the GM turbo upgrade kit for the SS that already has the turbo.
Yes, it does show a picture of the parts: 2 t-maps and the wire plugs.
(FWIW. That is the original kit that has to be spliced in. The newer version has the plug-n-play harness'

like "bigjacksauto" said how does this kit look??

I mean im gradually learning things about the whole engine layout. And it looks like it has everything. Turbo, BOV, intercooler, downpipe, exhaust manifold.
