on the 07 i would have to pull the engine to do headers

and just out of curiosity do you know what kind of turbo or supercharger would work because some people say a turbo on a g6 is unsuccessful
you're worried about putting headers on, but you're confident about putting on a turbo?? i don't think you understand how much is involved with a turbo...

I'm not trying to burst your bubble here, but there is a LOT involved with a turbo and if you aren't very knowledgeable about engines/cars, then I'd suggest that you stay away from a turbo until you are knowledgeable about engines to the point where you can do it all yourself (except the dyno tune...cuz who has one just laying around?)

unless someone actually gets a turbo setup on a G6, then we're all going to assume that it "isn't worth the money"...which IMO isn't true, but I'm not about to dump that much money into my car because : 1. mine's automatic 2. i'll probably be buying a newer/different car within 5 years 3. i don't have anywhere near the money that it'll cost and 4. my G6 is my DD and it gets crappy city mileage to begin with

That is what sts told me. Apparantly their turbo is way "smoother" so it is the easiest of any turbos anywhere on stock internals. Their turbo's do get the coldest air to the engine though, that is for sure.
they get the coldest air to the engine because its rear mounted and only 2-3psi...it better be colder than a header-mounted turbo.

and 2-3 psi would also be the reason why it's so "easy" on the internals...

IMO, if you're going to do a project like that, you should do it right the first time. if you get that 2 psi turbo installed, you're just going to want more power...which means you're going to get rid of it and upgrade to a bigger, header-mount turbo so you can spool faster and get the air to the engine faster.

like i said, if you don't know what you're getting into, then stay away
