The very first LE5 turbo G6

This is my wife and my project (we are both on this screen name), we'd been working on turbocharging it for a while and it's finally coming together. Its a 2.4 Ecotec mated to the 4T45E. A buddy of ours is fabricating the header, d.p., and w.g. dump tube. The current setup goes something like this.....

Garrett T3/04E
CXR intercooler
Tial 38mm
Tial BOV
Generic ebay charge pipe kit
Custom fabbed turbo header, downpipe, and wastegate dump tube.
Cobalt SS injectors
Walbro 255
Turbo XS boost controller
Tuned with HP tuners

Other mods include:
Cobalt SS wheels
Sport grilles
Sprint springs
2 12" Rockford P1's
20% Tint
Smoked tail lights
12k HID's







Had to get rid of the battery tray so the i.c. piping could fit.










Intercooler support


Relocated battery to the trunk

Yea the offset is a little off, they're a little skinnier than the orig steelies.

I'll have #'s as soon as I get these LSJ injectors figured out, can I just cut n splice the wires from the LSJ injector pigtails to my existing harness?

the ss injectors are too small unless you are runnign like 5 psi which would be a waste on that setup. I have 60's in mine to make it work well under 11 psi.

It just needs to get back on the road right now, here in a couple weeks it'll have bigger injectors. If I cut n splice the pigtails will they work?

u could just repin them onto your stock harness, but cutting and splicing will work too s long as you do it right, i recommend you take it easy on those 32's though...way to small...
