You can't just bolt on a turbo and go from there. If you want to do it right here's an example.
the axe effect
The non turbo PT engine is weak and needs to be upgraded internally to run more than 9-10 psi.
Unless you or someone else is very experienced you'd probably be better off buying a PT turbo.

As for getting more power for a non turbo engine, good luck. Not really worth the money.

man green said it best save your cash and go get a GT Turbo ( and I have a non turbo 06) it would never handle the stress of a turbo and the tranny would just fall apart the first time you really got into it----- and all the stuff that everyone says will give you that kick in the pants--well NOT----- the K N air filter is ok no added hp
the cat back 3 inch exhaust will sound cool no added hp
bigger injectors even if they fit????? the rest of the engine wont handle all that fuel
some things we learn the HARD way

go to google and type in "Hahn Stage 2 Turbo kit" it's a full kit, i know a couple guys running them WITHOUT PROBLEMS! everyone's car is their chariot, if you want to make it a turbo, then by god make it turbo! what you'll need (rough estimate)

-Hahn turbo kit (includes turbo, exhaust manifold, WGA)
- 750cc Injectors (good till 28PSI, more than you will run)
-Aeromotive Fuel pressure regulator (keeps things safe)
- Walboro 255 fuel pump (get the gas there)
-alot of spare time

Do what you want, not what people tell you.

Funny, if someone asks a question they will get an answer. It may not be the answer they want to hear, but it is an answer just the same. I also know people who have used the Hahn turbo setup. I also know of one guy who thought he knew what he was doing and did the work himself. Because he didn't know as much as he thought he ran lean and blew two golfball sized holes in his block. So, he did what you said and did what he wanted and didn't take the suggestions of others and it cost him a whole bunch of money and down time. So, don't blame people for throwing up red flags to others. We don't do it to be mean and nasty. We tell it how it is and the questioner can take it from there.

Yeah piston bonfire! that is why in () i put rough estimate. IMHO any turbo application stock or not should be running a wideband and a boost guage atleast... i am not saying "everyone is mean" i am just simply pointing out ALL options and letting each person make their own decision (hopefully educated). at the end of the day each person is only responsible to and for themselves. no harm no foul. best of luck on what you do decide.

PS- meangreen...are you white heat on the crew?

I am.

Funny thing is the guy who put the holes in his block was using a wideband. Where he should have been taking it easy and tuning it he just punched it and BOOM!!!!

Yeah, everyone look at the suggestions and make up their own mind. The guy whose build I showed is extremely knowledgeable. He also swapped in a 5 speed from an auto tranny.

[colton]

my high beams wont turn on where is the fuse for them located?

[Ironman]

Colton, please start a new thread for that.

Anyway, try doing a turbo engine swap, throw in the Getrag tranny as well, then you have a sleeper GT!!!
