Default can I boost an f22 motor if i fully rebuilt it?

where can I find a link to a website where I can buy a turbo kit for an f22 motor...I don't really want to make crazy power cause it's an everyday driver but I do want a little boost maybe 10-15 lbs.

Boost on a completely stock F22 is very possible, given that your engine is in normal condition. If it's leaking everywhere or there have been issues in the past then it might be a good idea to do a full rebuild. However, there are many people running on stock internals putting down reasonably good numbers.

Buying a turbo 'kit' isn't probably the best option, as they are usually just the ones of the 'ebay special' variety. It would be better to research and find exactly what numbers you want to run and then decide what to buy according to that.

In order to put together a decent turbo setup you will have a decent amount of research to do...make sure you know what you are getting into before you spend your money and end up disappointed in either your selection of parts or the power you will make.

A little heads up...you will see that boost pressure alone without a turbocharger to reference it to is essentially irrelevant.

yep

like he says Research then buy......my cousin he had a later model Firebird......he jumped on buying crap left and right......in the end he spent 8000 just on aftermarket parts and the car didnt even start after he installed all that stuff!

He had to sell the car because it would not start! 7000 out the door.....I felt like bitch slappping my cousin!what a moron!!

I met the guy that bought the car....he said he got the car tuned....and the wires were not in the right place!
