Hey guys,
I finally got a turbo for my 03' sunfire. I'm kinda weary on wheather I should install it my self so I was wondering if anyone here knows a good turbo shops so I can have it put in. For those of u who are wondering, it's a stock turbo off an'03 SAAB 93-direct bolt on to the 2.2L ecotech.
Im not sure... but racetech does crazy conversions... so im sure they can do a simple bolt on...
good luck
***Thanks again to stargrrrl***

Thats sweeet, you got the saab turbo and does the manifold fit properly ? Also did u get everything u needed from the saab and pretty much just gonna put it on your sunfire. I thought about doing that but i have no idea were i coudl find the whole turbo set. Do u mind if i ask what parts u got from the saab like a parts list.. Thanks and please update with us to let us know how it went and if everything fits nicely. Thanks Mark.

I'm going to have race-tech do the install but I'm planning on documenting the entire process with as many pics as possible so I can have something to show here.
Thats freaking awesome and a pretty amazing price to, did u buy that directly from saab dealership or junk yard or used ?? Thanks Mark i appreciate all this.

my girlfriend thinks i'm crazy cause i went all way down to ohio to pick it up (I live in Toronto). It was purchased off another jbody member who decided to turbo a different car. It's practically new maybe 3000km. I'd post pics but don't have a host as of yet.
Nah your not crazy at all, i would of done the same thing hehe and plus u cant go wrong for that price at all. You can host your pics on
Site were u can host pics Hope that helps,, Good luck on the install and please keep us updated.

***update** I finally went to see Joe @ race-tech.....great guy and he's willing to do the install for me. He tells me that the install can cost anywhere from $1000-$1800 and that includes the tubing for the IC, the hookup and the tuning--already have all the parts. The only downside is that I have to wait until the fall to get it installed which isn't a big deal for me. He seems to really know his stuff and is specialized in Pontiac's. So.....is it a good deal or should I be looking elsewhere.
.....btw have any of u guys seen his crazy conversion with that 92' Cav with the 3.8L turbo engine, I gotta say I almost fainted when I saw it-truly a piece of art.
^^ which conversion are u talking about? are u sure its turbo charged, because usally when ppl do the 3.8 L swap its the S/C and a few ppl have that now such as Raven.
Nice set up btw are u 100% sure that turbo will bolt on with no major changes?
"Projeckt Z24": PHASE ONE....
It's that green cavalier with the big brakes and rims....no body kit. And yes it's TURBO charged not super that's what made it so @!#$ cool. He said he's expecting around 500hp+ but it hasn't been dyno'd yet. As far as my setup goes it should bolt on with no problem...
Yeah that's Frank's race car. It's friggin insane.
