Originally i was using garret t28 which really surprised me and worked awesome
but i blew the t28
sucked
so im thinking about using the saab 9-3 turbo,
what turbo is the saab 9-3 turbo , is it ball bearing?
and what would be the upgrade for the turbo
The saab turbo is a journal bearing turbo and as far as i know it would be a smaller turbo then the t28. Time to step up to a t3/t4.
i really dont want anything to big an inexpensive
i kinda just need the cavalier for a winter driver
my daily driver is my 350z but i currently live in florida
im moving back to chicago but
my car is parked in my girlfriends garage with the engine missing a turbo
i dont want to spend to much cash
and i figured i could pick up a saab 9-3 manifold and turbo for cheap,
i would go back to t28 but that turbo was over about 900
also i heard the saab manifold doesn't really work with the 2.2 ecotec is this true, i know it fits but are there any issues with it
Go with the Saab set up. No lag at all, OEM quality and can support up to 250hp. It is a Mitsubishi TD04 turbo and there are no fitment issues other than you'll need a custom made downpipe. IMO its a great set up.

im just wondering in the event i want to upgrade turbos
what turbos have the same flange that would be a direct bolt on to the saabs manifold

not to many upgrades...sorry i misunderstood what you wrote in your first post..
here isnt much for upgrades for the turbo. I believe you can get larger housings and bigger center sections but i cant find the link. But the upgrade isnt overly a big upgrade.
how much power can the saab's turbo handle i remember my t28 could handle 300
im only looking to have 265ish
my cavalier is pretty light
no ac, no airbags, no cruise control, truck is striped and no spair, also no front and back bumper support lol it's so safe,
but anyways basiclly since it's light with that power it should be just as fast as my 350z if not faster
