i got a cavalier z24 a little while ago and i want to make it a fun street car but i cant find any turbo kits for it, dose anyone know where i can find a turbo kit for my cavi?
Piece one together. Thats about your only option unless you find one for sale in the classifieds.
how do you piece on together what do you need?

And on that note, We come to a screeching halt.
Research.
You will thank yourself later.
Generally you piece one together with money, nuts, and bolts.
will any turbo work, i understand the money nuts and bolts. Am trying to do the saab turbo set up but dont know were to start what type of saab(i believe its any 9-3 from 93-03) , what parts to take from the saab i know the turbo but what eles THAT is my question and YES i have searched
im not sure you understood what you searched... im not trying to be a d***/ but i do believe the sab kit only works on the ecotec engine your title states you have a 2001 z24 which would be a 2.4 so really read that sticky go throught the boost forum look up who has made turbo manifolds see if any are for sale. from companys. and pdds are unless someone is selling one in the classifieds you prob arent going to find a KIT. but you can find peices. so best of luck to you man and hope you can find what your looking for.

Chances are, if you have to ask what you need to turbo your car, you shouldnt be turboing yourself.
Start doing a bunch of research. Learn all the components of a turbo system and how they work.
At that point, you will be ready to start looking for parts.
For an LD9, you dont have many options for a manifold. Most manifold you will find are custom hand built pieces. There are a few cast log style manifold floating around but they are hard to come by.
"Oil Leak ? What oil Leak ? Oh, Thats Just The Sweat From All The HorsePower!!"
I just found some at vulcan turbo.

I have a ld9, and trust me, I think this platform is fading fast. Eco is the "in" thing right now, Im looking at doing a swp real soon, I have an eco and ld9 sitting in my garage.
Your WHAT hurts?
ok kid il kick it to ya. this is how a turbo operates, its forced powerer, now lets start with the first step, you need a turbo, your choice, next your going to need to bolt it on to your car so your going to need a manifold. now that your turbo is bolted to your car you need a way to cool your turbo so you need to run oil to it, so your going to need a oil feed line, placement on a ld9 motor for oil pressure i hooked mine up to were the oil temp senser goes, got 4 way for a oil pressure gauge, knowing oil pressure is everything, no oil pressure, no motor. ok so know that you got oil feeding into your turbo now you need to get it out of there so your going to need a oil return line, get a decent size line so theres no problems with back up, and this one you need to drill into your oil pan for, make sure its above oil level so it can return properly. now that you got your turbo on and got it oiled, now you need a way to release built up pressure, either your turbo will have a internal wastegate or you will have to get a external one, wastegate is just a dump for your turbo build. now that you got a way to dump it, now you need a way to build it up, charge piping and a intercooler helps get cooled air to your engine and your turbo. your going to need a a blow off valve to release air from intake side, and your going to need a boost controller so you can set your turbo's psi. dont run to high on a stock motor, ignition will happen.
for gauges to have in your car i went with air/fuel, boost gauge, volt meter and oil pressure gauge.
turbos systems are pretty simple, just gotta do research,
as of finding a turbo kit, have fun, we all built are own from scratch, my turbo kit is 90% fabrication. they dont make good turbo kits for z24's.
ask if you have any more questions, i got a z24 turbo build.
funk that, yo, pop that boost in, and boost away.
