Aveo turbo kits??

[alscrimp]

It is has been about 2 years since this question was last asked. So anybody know of a turbo kit for the Aveos yet??

There isn't none, build one yourself like I did!

[alscrimp]

Could you give me a list of what you used? I would really like to get this for my '06 Aveo.

Regardless of the car you put it on, every basic kit has the same components. I really don't mean to be rude but if you don't know what parts you need to build a basic kit yourself then you shouldnt look at turbocharging your car. It gets way more complicated down the road.

Getting the parts is the easy part, making them work the way they are suposed to and safely is another story.

Anyone can slap a turbo on a car, but then you need fuel management, and with these cars, thats a big problem as the ignition system is unlike 95% of the other cars on the road. You might be able to get away with "cheap" way to increase fuel but in a very very low boost setup (2-3 psi at most) and even then i wouldnt recommend it.

First of all, how deep is your wallet for this? You will be surprised at how quickly and expensive turbocharging gets. Depending how much work you do yourself, it can easily cost upwards of 3000 dollars, professionally assembled setups can run over 5 grand and more.

Wow, well done in bringing back another relevant thread.. the idea about the 1.4 turbo salvage to save money, but really.. still its about controlling the hardware components, not as much about the components. Its the wiring harness for any setup that I am curious about, since nobody makes one. I think its up to a few of us to do it ourselveves. But we still need so much more to make it happen at a reasonable cost. My hypothetical thread about a turbo has a basis of 4 thousand canadian dallers (thats about 3080 usd), and that will be a challenge to make that target, without some lucky breaks and some help.

You know, since the summer I've thought about doing lots of things to my car and one of them was a turbo, but what's the point? When you really break it down, it's an economy level car. Also, when you get into performance mods on your daily driver you can count on not driving for weeks at a time. Another thing is, a lot of parts on the Aveo are made cheap, so adding a turbo and all this other stuff means you'll be going deeper into more parts, and trying to find stronger non OEM replacements.

Another thing, if you have the money for the Aveo and want something you can tune and make fast and what not, join the dark side, sell the Aveo and grab a Civic. Hate to say it, but any part you need for a Civic you can get pretty easy and pretty cheap and the older Civics have huge lists of aftermarket parts that you can buy, thanks to The Fast & The Furious movie which really brought out the Civics true potential.

Keep the Aveo, get an older Civic like a 2001 isn't bad. Put some money into it, turbo, cold air, fuel management, blow off, performance struts and shocks, body kit, paint it e.t.c get the whole thing going. Then you'll still have a car to drive daily while your toy is being tuned.
