I had found some okay sites to get performance parts from on the web. If you google for performance stuff for saturns, you should find some pretty good sites. it just takes some research into it


I'll look into it a little bit more, get some info from my bf who loves to tune cars, and turnthem into performance cars, and update you with the info.

if you have about 700 bucks you could turbo it thats what im doing i bought a greddy t3 turbo off ebay and just a took the stock intercooler of my eclipse and im ordering a custom turbo manifold from www.qksltwo.com for about 450 bucks, he makes his own and i already have a turbo xpress bov and a manual boost controller from my eclipse if you into any of that www.turbosaturns.net is pretty sweet

Good luck staying at $700 on that turbo. The electronics are what's going to cost you. And is the turbo you got from ebay a real GReddy or just a knockoff? Most of those are just glued together and fall apart after a short time after install. Then there is piping. Turboing can be pretty expensive to actually complete, but its definately worth it.

The turbo is a used greddy turbo that had 15,000 miles on it i got for a bargain of 125 dollars, you don't need any electronics with the saturn, if you have a sc2 or sl2 the timing is set up for perfomance and it works perfect. For tubing you use rubber tube or buy your self some pieces of alluminum and construct your own with this set up i push around 200, i could step it up to 220 (which this i recomend) in buying higher flowing fuel injectors.

Still I'm pretty sure you need some sort of fuel management unitfor the added air from the turbo. But it would be nice to know that you wouldn't have to worry about tuning when you go turbo.

Like i said the fuel injectors are the only thing you need if its 1991 to 1997 like mine the car comes factory with a fuel return system if its newer than 97 you would have to buy one. if you want to check how to make your car this fast www.turbosaturns.net on the right click on 220hp or bust it will tell you everything you need to know, the saturn is one of the easiest cars to turbo if you can find a manifold but i got mine of ebay some guy makes his own welds the flange to a stock manifold even welds the bolts its all clean and really nice
