I'd suggest calling a local performance shop and have them give u an estimate I don't really think there is a kit made just for a cavy especially since it was replaced with the Cobalt. But a shop can do their own fab work and make a header and do the plumbing to make it fit. I'm sure just about any turbo u want and can AFFORD can be put on the car. Also u have to keep in mind your going to need alot of work to get everything to work right. You would just be better off buying another car to build, your going to spend well over $5k trying to put one in and without rebuilding the motor you will be stuck around the 8psi range.

u can make anything fit with enough money is what i'm trying to say......is it worth it? I wouldn't think so because u can have a much better car and setup for what your going to spend to mod that car. The rev limiter is set at what 90mph? 100mph? your going to end up with a spun bearing and popped headgaskets before u put 500 miles on the turbo UNLESS you build the motor to hold the boost.

it just depends on the motor, which one you got? 2.2 or 2.4?

seems like a waste of money to me to do any mods to a cavalier but if you really want to
