Updates for yesterday work
Got my downpipe off completely
Mounted a turbo and by 90 elbow off the turbo
figured out what i all need for piping and getting that today after school

Be smart and weld 2 O2 bungs, that way you can have one for factory computer and the other can be for wideband if you ever decide to get one.
SKANK you gonna put some more pics of this bitch up? I feel left out of it now. ******* 2nd shift

yeah i didnt think you ment a t25 flange flange as t25 the gt horizotal type, if you can bolt it up the position of the turbo wont matter, but the oil drain is gravity based, so it the line must be facing downards, and the water doesnt matter, the dp is being custom made so u should have a issue with that, the piping either, just make sure oil can come in and out fine and you can mount it any position you want
noo 07 cobaltguy i was
well
JN2's turbo will not work with my setup...the flange itself will but being staaight up...will not..
so i have a turbo for sale.
PM me

(turbo may not sell...might put this on my laser

Post lots of pics once you get it done. Do you have an intercooler?
If you need help routing it I can show you how I did mine. Even if it's somewhat impossible to do.

Yeah, make sure you don't get any of that insulation from the firewall on you. When I was working around back there I got a major case of insulation burn, and it sucked for a couple of days. My turbo almost didn't fit behind the firewall, even after I removed the insulation. There's not a lot of room back there, I had to rotate it.
Mine is getting there, very slowly though. How about injectors, what are you going with?
