That could be a nice little sleeper. Good luck with the project and I'm sure you'll find all of the info you need here.

mild build? what will that consist of? and where are you from?


on that A6, you could reach 200hp, with a good turbo set-up, and some good fuel management.

hey im a newb to! ;D

i have a 2003 cavalier ls sport with 2.2L ecotec. i heard of this site from jon fisher(airtonics) who is a member of a club i belong to. i am ordering a complete turbo kit from cavalierconnection.com which comes with a turbo header instead of a mani. just thought i would say hello to everyone too.

that car definately has sleeper potential, that would be sweet.

yeah.. there really isnt a whole lot out there for my car yet, kinda a limited selection of where i can get a kit from.. my buddy is making all of intercooler piping. all i need is a Fmic. the people im getting the kit from want 1000 dollars to buy their intercooler and piping kit, which is a rip off.
