g2's are more complicated to turbo than g3's are. Less room up there and not nearly as many kits available. You can always look into a custom setup to fit exactly what you want/need. Do your homework and talk to people who have done this before. t3/t4 hybrids are a good route to go. I would suggest towards getting a kit with a ball bearing turbo as opposed to a thrust bearing one. Do plenty of research. Find out everything you need before you buy anything. If you'd like to learn more about turbos and the other parts that will be involved with a turbo setup..check out this months issue of Super Street. They have a decent write-up on how they work and what different kits are available. Find a reputable shop to do your work for you...you may even find one that has turbo'd a g2..that would be ideal. Don't cheap out on anything because you'll regret it down the road. TUNING is the key!! Definatley look into forged rods and pistons to strengthen your bottom end..maybe even re-sleeving depending on how much you plan on boosting.
