I started here: http://www.j-bom.com/ and there's a thread about 2200 turbos, but no useful info, but it did lead me to this: http://www.j-body.org/ I'm sure you can find ideas about tuning there. For a turbo a 14B can be had cheap and is good for 200 WHP easily, especally with a 2.2L.

i'm sure you could get the thing done for under 1000 dollars, fmu style, 6 or 7 psi. You need to research the top feed conversion that you're going to need to do. That'll be the most difficult part. Everything else is easy. I would look at a clutch replacement too.

Are 2200's regular ignition crap, with all that Distributor and spark plug wire nonsense?
