    Turbo on a 2nd gen cavy?

    I know, I know, I am the guy whose asking about the nitrous, BUT i came upon a website called www.cheapturbos.com or www.cheapturbo.com something along those lines and the prices seem VERY good. I was wandering if anyone could tell me if they are respectable. And which one, if any on that website will fit my car without spending more money than buying the actual turbo? Thanx tons again!

    A turbo isn't just a bolt on... You have to fab up a completely different exhaust...different manifold(s), different downpipe, etc.... Then you have to get oil lines & coolant lines running to it. Then you have to also get lines going from the turbo to your intercooler (if you get an intercooler) and to your intake.

            Well, there is a guy on here selling a turbo "kit" from a Turbo GP. It has almost every single part needed to put the setup on your cavalier, and its only $500. That would basically be a bolt on, there is just a LOT of things you need to bolt on. It would be better than nitrous though IMO. You might want to look into that.
