Need lsj turbo swap advice!

Have a 2006 cobalt ss/sc and want to swap out the supercharger for a turbo. I found a guy on craigslist selling a bunch of stock lnf parts cheap such as turbo, exhaust manifold, downpipe, inter cooler, upper charge pipe, header and blow off valve. My questions are:
1. What all will fit from an lnf to lsj?
2. What else would I need to complete the swap assuming most of these parts fit?

Seach the LNF Turbo to LSJ.

You can read all about how it will work, but how it is a bad turbo for the LSJ; and why.

Short answer: it fits
Long answer: search for why it isnt a good option

why don't you just sell it and get the cobalt TC? Would be cheaper!

2003+ saab 9-3 turbo setup will fit the lsj.(I'm not saying every piece) with a little bit of fabrication. There is a thread that explains it. You can piece together a turbo kit for like $1500 just take your time and research no need to spend $4000 then as time goes on you can just upgrade each part.
