word round here is 2.2 internals handle up to 250HP...
its not about HIGH BOOST its about how much power you can get w/ the lowest amount of boost

it's about engine HP and torque that matters before something pops

You need to think this out really, really well. What are your power goals? How much are you willing to spend? Do you want to go with a turbo kit, or do a complete custom job? Research is the key, otherwise you will end up wasting alot of money.

Please Please Please
1. Read the Turbo FAQ that I compiled along with Halfcent
2. Do as much research on how a turbo system works before spending any money
3. It's not about air pressure (boost), it's about the amount of air flow being sent per PSI of air pressure. There is no real answer to your question.

if you're looking to keep it 2.2 the do an engine build first then you'll have a little bit more leeway

While your at it, you might as well throw a Patriot stage 2 head on.

Then why did you buy a 2.2 if money isn't a issue?

What ever you do what ever tubo stuff you use i shuggest that you also go to crate engine depot and buy the 2.4 manafold its one piece and the 2.2's is two. The 2.4 one ill be able to stand more and is better flowing. Good Luc!

Well I wasn't saying you should have gotten a SS/SC but why didn't you get a better platform vehicle, that's all I was saying.
How much experience do you have with forced induction?
