First off what size turbo is that. looks like it's going to be a tad big for you application.
secondly it's going to take much more than an hour to tune the car. Also what software are you using?
since the 2.2's aren't really supported tuning wise by anyone (in actual around the country tuning shops)

As for OP, good luck on the build. As everyone else has said, videos and pics afterward are a must!

thanx 2 all that wished me good luck! the turbo is a t3/t4 turbo off a pontiac 2.2l sunfire same motor and he had no clearance prob.! i am going 2 get a tune at a shop ab an hr away from me in decatur, TN. they tune ALOT of vettes and vipers and they have tuned an ss/sc b4 and other imports. they charge $150 for an hr tune with wideband. so i may bump it to 2 hrs. or just add another 5 pulls for $100... pretty good if u ask me price wise and i heard alot of positive stuff ab them! www.speedengineeringanddyno.com checkem out
as 4 the turbo mani. its used off the sunfire. idk where he got it. oh and i need 2 buy a rebuild kit 4 the turbo its leaking oil outta the seals... sooo out with the old and in with a ball bearing turbo rebuild
yea the intercooler is just mounted. wanted 2 give whomever installs it a headstart vidz and pix of it growing will b posted guys!! thanx for the support.
as for 2jz.... supras r overated dude.... stick wit a base model cobalt and c where it gets ya

yes the car will run untuned if you keep the boost at most 2lbs
i doubt that tuning shop can tune you....but i might be wrong...all i know is that the only one to offer tuning for the 2.2's is trifecta performance

What year is your car? because if its an 05-06 trifecta is the ONLY person who can tune your car. if its an 07, they can use LS2Edit. So just because they can tune an SS/SC does NOT mean they can tune your car. Remember, completely different ECM's.
