Ok, before everyone jumps at me to search the old threads, I did. I got lost in the old links and crap. Im just looking for a good turbo kit for my 2.4L. Anyone?

No such thing anymore. You'd have to build your own. Do some research on how the whole turbo system works and what parts you need and then come back and ask some more questions. I'd be happy to help you out :)

jtuners.com and then maxiumboost also

not alero specific but 2.4 specific

otherwise you build your own kit and j-body.org has a good list for build your own kit.

I personally wouldn't go with either of those "kits". The J tuners kit doesn't come with any fuel mods or an intercooler and the downpipe it comes with most likely won't fit an Alero. So you get a bunch of parts you'll need to add to, all for $2500. And Maximum Boost, over on J-body.org, has proven many times he doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to turbos. Then he wants to sell his own kit....not a good idea, plus he uses very low quality turbos. I spent probably around $2200 piecing my own kit together which includes fuel mods, intercooler and the full turbo-back exhaust. Your best bet is definitly to build your own kit.

But, before you start, do some research, then some more research. Learn how everything works together to make more power and what each individual part in the kit does. Then do some more research. You'll want to know what size turbo you need, what boost pressure to run, how much fuel to add to get a certain air/fuel ratio, etc., etc. There's a lot to know and it can get overwhelming.

I'd be happy to help you out if you're serious about building your own kit. You can PM me whenever or just post on here so anyone else interested can also get help.

Are you serious?
From what many others have said about Mantapart, yes I think he's serious.
