Are these eBay performance chips any good:
Do Not buy these, as you will only waste your money and your time because they do not work. First of all your OBD-II will gather information from other sensors and correct itself. Secondly it can foul your oxygen sensor, clog the catalytic converter, and damage your cars ECU. It’s not worth all that hassle. You will never gain 10-45 extra hp like that. -Originally posted by mikedudley.

Second O2 Sensor Bypass:
Ok, so you want to remove you cat without your car throwing codes? Easy mod. Go to your local auto parts store and buy a Spark Plug Non Fouler PN 42009 ($4.99):




You now need to drill out 1 of the non foulers using a 1/2" drill bit. When finished this is what it will look like:


Side by side comparision of the orignal and now modified non foulers:


O2 Sensor inserted in the modified non fouler:


Original non fouler->Modified non fouler->o2 sensor:

Fully installed:

The idea behind it is when you remove the cat the 2nd o2 sensor is going to have too much crap reaching the sensor that isnt filtered out, which will make it think the cat has gone bad. What this does is it moves the o2 sensor further away so a limited amount of exhaust gets to the o2 sensor, it is a VERY little ammount that actually gets to the sensor but as long as it is considerably less than the primary o2 sensor then it wont cause a CEL.

Intake Resonator Removal:
Originally posted by genie47.
It's a half hour job (if you have the right tools)...basically, if you are upgrading your air intake to a cold-air-intake(CAI) or a short ram intake you will want to take the resonator box out. You will need the room for your cone filter for a CAI, or if you go with a short ram then the resonator box is no longer used and is dead weight.
It's easy. First jack your car up... You have to remove the 4 nuts that hold the panel down in the driver-side front wheel well / bumper. Careful to keep the nuts, and the 2 silver retaining tabs at the bumper (otherwise you won't be able to reattach the 2 9mm nuts). The resonator under the panelling is held down by 3 nuts. Undo those, yank the whole box out and Viola!!! Yes.... you'll have to replace the panelling...

The resonator is basically a plastic U-bend tube that has a large plastic chamber at the bottom of the U-bend. According to something i read a long time ago, the resonator's chamber size is "scientifically calculated" according to the size of the engine, filter element, etc to resonate (or cancel) out most of the induction sounds.

Throttlebody Coolant Bypass:
Originally posted by y2daniel1981.
This is only for 2004-2005 Model Chevy Aveo
Gains: A few horsepower. Basically this mod bypasses the engine coolant around the throttle body. The decreased temperature of the throttle body allow for a few more horsepower to be saved. This mod can be reversed for winter time so your throttle body doesn't freeze up.
Time needed: 15-30 minutes after cool down
Parts needed:
Knife
Pliers
I got the following from Autozone for under $15. But they can be found at any auto parts store under different names:
HELP! Bypass Cap Assortment (package of , Part Number 02253
Koehler Enterprises Hose Clamp, Range 1/4" - 5/8" (5,6 - 15,9 mm) ,
(package of 4) Part Number KE-4SS
Campbell Hausfeld 3/8" (9,5mm) Hose Splicer (package of 2), Part Number MP3219
Step 1: Turn off car
Step 2: Open hood
Step 3: Let sit for an hour or more to cool off completely


Step 4: Remove air intake tube from throttle body and set aside
Step 5: Take coolant cap off coolant overflow bottle
Step 6 : Take cap off of radiator to relieve pressure
Step 7: Remove exit coolant line running from overflow bottle to throttle body at the throttle body.
BE VERY CAREFUL ON THE NEXT STEP!
There are 3 lines (2 on the SVM) to the left of the engine cover. PVC line, Coolant line running to the back for the throttle body (this is the one to cut), and an AC line (not on SVM, VERY BAD if you cut it)


Step 8: Cut inlet coolant throttle body line (it runs into the back of the throttle body) leaving enough line to bend.

Step 9: Use hose splicer to connect the throttle body inlet and exit lines (the one you cut and the one you removed). Use hose clamps to sercure these lines to the splicer
Step 10: Cap off the remaining inlet tube running to the back of the throttle body.
Step 11: Cap off throttle body exit
Step 12: Use hose clamp to secure tube to overflow bottle.
Step 13: Replace Air intake to throttle body
In order to reverse this mod, just use the hose splice to reconnect the cut lines with hose clamps, and reconnect the out bound tube to the throttle body.

Is there a turbo kit for the aveo:
No, as of this moment there is no turbo kit offered for the aveo. The biggest problem you would have in making your own custom turbo set up would be a turbo manifold/turbo downpipe and re-mapping the ECM. The best place to look for information on this topic or converse with someone who has done a similair mod would be http://www.daewootech.com. A daewoo kalos is the same car as an aveo.
