Re: Good turbine for the aveo?
Well.... the 2.0L 8V was a couple grand because it was rebuilt ( our friend is a machinist at a local engine shop so he was able to do it for very little ) I haven't looked at the factory GM 1.6L turbo manifold ( Corsa VXR ) but I wouldn't be surprised if someone is already working on an aftermarket...
