Well i know ZZP makes a kit for ur car its a pretty good price. You can also build ur own kit if ur up to the challenge of doing so. Im turbo swapping my cobalt ss sc just wanting on a few last parts. ZZP kits for my car is 4k i believe. i built my kit for 2700. Using the money i saved to put into suspension upgrades to combat toque steer.

8 psi should be fine, but it also depends on ur turbo size. but usually 8 psi is fine on stock, if u wanna go higher, do it right and build it. the best way i decided to do it is just buy a turbo car, its easier, cheaper in the end, and more reliable.

Your car is a special model, you don't even need a wastegate or boost controller!

Please do not make more than 1 thread on the same topic. I merged your two threads together so you do not lose any answers. You will be fine running a turbo on your auto 2.2. Don't go too aggressive on the boost and you won't blow anything up.
