hey guys i am looking into getting a turbo, i am fairly new with turbos, what turbo would you recomend that i should get, i want the whole package, intercooler, blow off manifold. or would it be better to by all the parts seperate? thanks for your help
like Shifted said, it depends on your goals, how much power you are wanting to make, how much boost etc. If you just want to run 6 psi on your stock internals, the turbo sold with most base level kits is a Garrett T3 Super 60.

that's a personal decision. you're looking at the ability to run 12 to 15 psi as long as your fuel system and drivetrain are modded to handle that power. luckily for you, you have plenty of options for fuel injectors, fuel pump, rail, etc. but this is where it gets tricky. you'll want better CV shafts ($600), tranny work ($$), fuel management ($$$$), and hopefully nothing breaks. if you are going to start forking out money, fork it out and go all out. build your own bad ass kit because for right now, all the kits are simple base level kits that offer little to no upgradeability. hope that helps you out.

Ive just started researching the turbo kits for the ecotec but the hahn racecraft setup seemss like it has some great potential, especially if you go with the stage 2 kit.
I believe they said it put down 250whp with only minor airflow mods to the engine and that was the stage 1 at 8psi...and was pushing almost 330 with high boost....That just my 2 cents.
Ill be prob going with this kit myself in a month or so. Its a battle between this and the RSM S/C stage 2 kit...
I cant make up my mind

I'm personally a turbo guy myself, always liked turbo setups. Because you can go all out with a turbo setup and do some crazy things. Granted, you it's easier to mismatch and cause problems, but doing research and putting together the right combination is half the fun.
I would say the Hahn Racecraft kit sounds like a pretty good kit, go with the stage 2. If you ever need links to more reinforcement for your intake and fuel system, drivetrain, or anything else just let me know and i'll help ya to the best of my ability.

what about piecing together a turbo from ebay, like buy all the parts seperate, wont that save me some money?
what parts would you recommend that i get?
I would not buy anything from ebay doing with parts that could blow your engine...even when used right......I would tell you nto purchase from a reputible company with good customer service.....that way if you ahve any questions you can call them up and ask...if you go through ebay and have a question your screwed...
Just dont take this wrong....agian this is just my opinion
Let me know what you decide, or if I can help you in any way..

i've seen a T-88 do horrible things to a 2JZ block... which can withstand about 800 more horsepower on stock bottom end than the 2.2 OHV... i'd hate to see what a T-88 would do to an 2.2 OHV.

sorry to jack a post.. i see everyone talking about a super 60... thats great
... but whats the difference between that and a t2/t40e witha .57 trim??? besides the price difference (which i would like to know if anyone knows it) what kinda of lag, power producing (cfm per min??), and upper limits are we talking here...

that still depends on how much power you are going to want to put down. let's say you want to start simple, run 6 psi or so on your stock bottom end, stock fuel system. my advice for a base entry level kit would be to just buy the kit. it's not going to be worth your money to spend time fabbing up a kit for 6 psi, only to have to redo most of it when you build your motor for more power, more boost, and all of that.

Well, i dont know about you guys that are trying to build turbo kits but ive been talking to Hahnracecraft directly for the last couple days and all i have is positive feedback. They answer all my questions and are very quikc about it...sometimes with in the hour!
All i know is thats what i will be buying
-Coming Soon
yeah.. the hahnracecraft kit runs a super 16g, not a t3. I've been told to stay away from the super 16g by a couple friends. Do you know why they would suggest this?thanks
Things are looking better already!
