So what mods were done to that 1.4 turbo? I'm assuming they just chipped / upped the boost? Thats a good 54 ft lbs of mid range torque gained, which will be nice for quick booting it around the city, but it doesn't gain as much power .... only 36 HP which is alright but you can see the top end is dying off. Definitely needs a bigger turbo which can flow more. Any idea how much boost before and after?

Its just a remap with everything else stock.

On cruzetalk.com he said some of that loss was injector related, but i'm recalling and my memory isnt all that great..

iirc though He did also say the turbo unit design limited hp, i forget how he worded it exactly, but it was like there is built in blow off, and that is doesnt hold the boost output the turbo is capable of. so to get more out of it, parts need changed.
