hey gang, im new here. i currently own a 1996 Chevy Beretta with the factory 2.2L non-ecotec 4 cylinder engine in it. current "mods" are fast forward under-drive pulley, a pacesetter 4-2-1 design ceramic coated. a full 2.25 inch exhaust all the way back into a dynomax ultra Flo muffler. and a custom made cold air intake with a K&N filter. i would like some help in building a turbo-setup i know what all i need so thats out of the question, and i know a good price range??? of about $1500-$2500 for a good turbo set-up (i hope) i was currently looking at maximum boost turbo header here....

is this right? the price i mean? does eBay have this same header for cheaper?i was just looking in another forum here and someone said maximum boost is a rip off....??? if i can get the turbo header i will be set from here on out. and i know i will need bigger injectors and i know a guy from www.bstuff.com called trigger95 whos doing a turbo set-up himself. he was saying you guys said that if you plan on making more power that i will need a top feed conversion..... im going to be using a T-60 and a 38MM waste-gate and a FMIC...... any help here?

I really enjoyed reading Maximum Boost by Corky Bell. It is a bit outdated, but really informative.

I would recommend you read that, search some of the FAQ's on here, and then post any further questions.

hope that helps a little bit

Maximum Boost (the book) was okay, but I just picked up Street Turbocharging which is supposed to be much better. Don't buy anything from maximumboost.whatever, you can find it all cheaper. If you want a cheap manifold, and you (or someone you know) has welding capabilities, check out the older 2.0L LN2 manifold conversion. As far as fuel goes, yes, you will need to do the top-feed conversions, or run a standalone (I highly recommend MegaSquirt) and the Saturn TBI injectors.
Also, T-60...please tell me that's not a 60mm impeller...

better a delay than a disaster.

LOL no the t-60 is like a super 60 turbo or so, no that big of a turbo, id never get out of turbo lag ive heard of the saturn swap, might be intresting.
