      It will have everything you need to install. Wouldn't sell a partial kit lol. If I am selling something I don't want you to have to make up an additional parts list to make it work. The ONLY thing you may have trouble with is tuning the AFM Unit... But it's pretty straightforward and I would be available to help those in need...

      That would be my list of order, though I'm still not sold on boosting my car and possibly losing my fuel economy...Is there a way to improve power AND economy??

      Boost will help your fuel economy until you reach a certain point... after that point, MPG tends to decrease...

      turbos are the best way to get better gas mileage. a lot of car companies are starting to use smaller engines with turbos in order to keep power up and gas mileage up.

      It's good you pointed that out. In boosting, you effectively increase the engines compression ratio. The higher the compression ratio, the more effecient is the engine. Effiency = more power for the same amount of gas.

      If you need 55hp to do 60mph, then if you normaly need 1.5gallon/hour, but with the new compression ratio giving you about 10% more efficiency, then you would only burn 1.35 gallons per hour.

      These numbers are just for an example, I didn't research anything, just giving you guys an example. 60/1.5 = 40 mpg. 60/1.35 = 44.4 mpg.
      I leased Pontiac Wave from September 2006 to August 2011.

      That's not how turbos work... They work by getting more horsepower out of your car without decreasing gas mileage using the same engine. It doesnt have anything to do with how much gas is used.

      A turbo Aveo would still get the same MPG even with a turbo, it would just have more power.

      Not necessarily... It all depends in how you tune the fuel system to work with it.
