Zero goes turbo

It's finally that time to boost again,this time last year I had a 2.2 sc
That sadly got totaled. When I went searching for another car I knew I wanted a 06 le5 for there capability of pushing more then 300 on stock engine with the help of a turbo Ofcourse. I have everything I need just getting some things welded. Build will start Thursday afternoon after I get out if work.

2006 cobalt ss na automatic
Part list:
Bullseye s256et
Saab mani (I think)
Turbonetics wastegate
Turbo xs rfl bov
60 injectors
Hallman boost controller
Factory LNF spark plugs gapped at .35
Intercooler
Intercooler pipes
Innovate motorsports wideband
Glow shift boost gauge
custom downpipe


Hoping to push above 300 and Then upgrade the block for more fun.

you need to check your pvc location on the head in correspondence to the pcv location on the manifold. if your blocking it off then no big deal but if your not it will pose an issue. so look into it.
