Default Chevy Cavalier, home made turbo style. PICS, danger for 56k

Well i just finished my turboing my ecotec, 2004 cavalier. i know there aren't many doomestics(street chronicles style) on here, but its turboed. the wastegate is set at 8 psi. i don't have the luxury of a chipped ecu so i am running a greddy e-manage. here are some pics.
Whole car, that pvc piece is temporary.

Ecotec at its finest

Garrett turbo, the turbine is a t3 for sure, anyone know if that compressor is a t4? not sure

What are people making powerwise on the stock 2.2 ecotec? The bottom end isn't built like the 2.0 is it?

I don't think the 2.2 is built like the 2.0. with the 2.2's, most people are making around ~210whp and ~230 wtq

there is a place on the head that is pre tapped for oil feed. I just took out the plug and put in a fitting.
