I was just looking for some insight on the situation. I was half rolling the idea around in my head of turboing my car over the winter, and I had wanted some insight from some others, and wanted to know what others have done when it came to turboing their cars. My drivetrain is completely stock 2004 (2.2L ecotec 5 speed). Wanted to know what was the best size turbo with what trim to run (I would not plan on taking the motor any higher than the factory 6500rpm redline), and was hoping for somewheres in the 8-10psi range.

Besides what size/trim (a/r) turbo to go with, what type of exhaust manifolds are people running? What size wastegate would be optimal? And above all. . . what should I do for PCM management? I am totally new to this when it comes to JBody's since all my past experience was Honda. I just wanted some input on what to do, and how I should go about doing this. The piping, the plumbing, and fabrication is not an issue at all, I just wanted to know what components are best to use, and whats the best way to ensure that the engine gets the proper amount of fuel while under boost.

I would suggest checking out the T3 Super 60 turbo with an internal wastegate. As far as computer management, get Megasquirt. From friends running turbo ecotecs and seeing what they are doing, Megasquirt seems like the only way to really your fuel levels at the right mark untill GM brings out the reflash.
