I'll hopefully be doing the same thing before the end of the year.
You'll need to have charge pipes fabricated. Brandon here on the org is selling pre fabed charge pipes.
But the turbo will not be carb legal on a cav or sunfire. It'll look semi stock but not ca legal.
also , it will NOT BE carb legal
just cause it came from 1 car does not mean its legal on another car
wait wait wait wait, so if i put this in my cav, even though almost 90% of all the parts are from a carb legal car, it wont pass smog????!!!!!!!!
prolly pass smog but not visual test, depends what shop you take it too, even if it doesnt pass theres ways around it
can somone pm me these ways around it, or shops that might be willing to help out at all?? thanks

yup you got it
parts are only tested and given approval for the cars tested on
factory parts do not have CARB approval , as they are factory parts for a specific car
I think your best bet would be to save up and purchase the GM S/C kit for the Eco. It may cost a bit more than the turbo, but at least its warrantied and reliable from what I've heard.
