*The REAL turbo thread*

[aveodude]

any chance you have pics of one that is uncoated? Is the turbo oil and water cooled?

[Spec-R]

The turbos used to keep costs down and ease of installation will be a normal oil journal type.

All parts will be coated for added HP and looks so no pics of manifold uncoated etc. We will be assembling/welding manifolds using mild steel.

any thoughts of N/A headers?

prefferably one that relocates the cat under the car?

[Spec-R]

N/A headers are on the to-do list.

I know this is probably a dumb question but will a turbo work with the auto trans,and would you have to or be able to program the comp for it properly?

[Spec-R]

Turbo can work with auto trans but certain autos cannot handle much more power overstock so just be careful.

Stock auto for Aveo should be good for 150ft-lbs. That's if my calculations for the manual transmission can be applied to the automatic.

[mikedudley17]

if u search the forum, the auto trans is actually rated 40 ft-lbs higher than the manual.

its been safe to say that the manual is good for 160 and the auto 200. the auto trans was also some special thing that is supposed to be a really good trans, cant remember what it was called.

asking for this to be stickied soon for ease.

daz right, I don't know why I had this crazy idea it could hold less torque.
