This is NOT how you add a turbo to a Cavalier!

Exclamation This is NOT how you add a turbo to a Cavalier!

From the LS1TECH forum comes this tidbit on how you don't turbocharge a Cavalier or any car for that matter, read and be horrified!

Here's the link, I just love the turbo oil return going into the dipstick hole myself! (Warning some strong language in a few posts)

He's got the manifold feeding the turbo 2many, its the exhaust leaving the turbo he has running without a down pipe etc. I'm just wonder how long that alternator will last with the exhaust right on it, well assuming the car doesn't burn to the ground first that is.
