What's the best turbo to use for the LE5?
My fianc'ee and I want to throw together a turbo kit for her 06 G6 2.4, and we were curious as to what turbo would be best for 5-14psi. Thanks

The LNF turbo is too small for a 2.4.
In our experience, the 2.4 will spool a decent sized turbo without any noticeable lag when compared to a 2.0 with lower compression. Our 56mm Borg Warner does the job very well in that range. I would look for something between 54mm and 58mm. The exhaust housing we run has a .55AR, but the wheel is fairly large, similarly sized to a P trim wheel.
Is her G6 an auto? Variable cam timing?

He's asking us for that "more information."

Yes it's mated to the 4t45e, and yes also VVT.

No problem. If I can make it to the dyno for some new numbers after the tune (before I sell the car *crosses fingers*), I'll get them to you.
When tuned correctly the Garrett is extremely responsive, low spool (2.5k) and provides good power all the way up.

What a/r is the exhaust side? Is it .64? And what is the a/r on the comp side?
