Ok I am very new to the J Body world, but I know what I want to do, but its just a matter of knowing HOW to do it. I want to put a turbo in it, but I am completly clueless on how to put one in, and what all I would need. So I gues my question is what do I need to buy to make a complete turbo setupfor my 2200, and how do I put it in. Thanks in advance for the help
Check out the FAQ's on the top of this page. Read through those about 500 times, then start reading every thread you can in this forum. There is a TON of information about turbocharging.
Ok I read the FAQ section on her, and I found it very helpful, but there is one thing I need to know that wasnt on there. Regarding the fuel system, what would I need to do, and or need to change to run higher psi? Also would you suggest going with a used system off of someone elses car in the classified part of jbody.org?

If you have a 95-97 2.2 OHV you're out of luck on fuel system unless you are really good at fabrication. With the 98+ 2200 OHV you can upgrade to larger injectors, fuel pump, and an adjustable FPR. It's all a question of how much power you want to make.
