the downpipe is a must running the stock 2" one on a turbo setup is going to hurt your turbo badly, a lot of back pressure...and a trifecta tune will really help you get a lot more out of it, the tune that comes with the garrett kit blows...

He said that he was going with the Garrett GT Tuner Kit Garrett (766621-2) and not the Alpha kit (766621-1) so he has no choice to get a Trifecta tune. He's got an 06 LT
Also the tuner kit does not come with injectors or a boost gauge so he has to add that to the list

ah ok, than he needs to pick up some lucas 42's and a harness, aswell as some sort of boost gauge, and a wideband gauge to watch his a/f's w hile hes tunning

pacific cobalt

Yup Lucas 42's would be a great choice
We should also mention that it's recommended that a turbo 2.2L. go to a dyno with the Trifecta Handheld PDA for tuning.

If he's installing this himself then this is what I would recommend you have ready before you even start turning wrenches

- GT Tuner Kit
- Clutch (I'd say Stg.2 or 3) << This can wait as long as you drive it normally and don't trash it
- 2.5" or 3" downpipe
- 2.5" or 3" catback
- Trifecta tune
- Boost Gauge
- Wideband
- Injectors
- ZZP Injector Harness
- 5 quarts Royal Purple 5w40
- K&N Highflow Oil Filter
- 4L. Preston Dex-Cool

After your done with the install I would also recommend.

- 3 Gauge A-Pillar
- Oil Pressure Gauge
- Oil Temperature Gauge
- Turbo Timer
- 40 Amp Bosch relay to power all you new accesories

I kept popping a fuse when I had too many gauges running and the Relay fixed that problem.

Looking at $5000 for all this

At CSS.Net we take pride in our ability to scare people who post treads like "I'm going FI" or "I'm going custom turbo"
