Hey, i drive a 1998 Cavalier 2.2 I-4, and besides a cold air intake, it is stock, i was thinking of putting a turbo on it, but was wondering if the throttle body/injectors/ignition HAVE to be changed to run a low amount of boost, say 4.6 or so.....or if i could get away without......also, if anyone knows of any other good mods, i would appct any advice

you should be able to get away with 4-5 psi on stock internals and with factory listed parts. the only thing you wuld be needing would be a small tune for such low boost but its always good to invest in HP tuners for a great tune. Im thinking of running a t3 turbo on mine here soon too, all i can say though is research in the appropriate forums. also there is word that shifted is making a brand new bad ass pcm for the j-body platform that he might be prodcuing if he can get all the kinks worked out, if so that would be the best way to go, it would be better than HPT.

any ideas of what id need to replace? my friend who offered to help me install it said that it would be better to get a bigger fuel pump/injectors and maybe new ignition (MSD) any idea of a good site to look for turbos on? i found a good kit on

http://www.turbospecialties-race.com/chevrolet/CC2501_ext.asp

And

but wasnt sure how complete these kits were, or if anything else is needed....as i was planning to install the turbo first as a low psi, and upgrade the other things later
