2.2 turbo questions
im looking at the zzp stage 2 turbo kit
https://www.zzperformance.com/cobalt...=922&catid=143
ok so ive done a lot of reading but i still have some questions, some of which are probably stupid but here goes...
do i have to get anything/do anything different since its a 2.2 instead of a 2.4?
is a turbo manifold considered a "header"?
should i get a 3" catback or a 2.5"?
what internals do i need to upgrade? (i think its cams and rods...)
if you can answer any of these questions it would help a bunch

i would stick with a 2.5" catback since you wont be boosting a whole lot and your not making a ***** loud of power. a turbo exhaust manifold is what your thinking is a header. theres a few things needed differently. spankeys monkey did a 2.5 so check his build thread out. as far as internals rods and pistons are a must
