      Well, its an iron block, you will probably never destroy it, i'd be more concerned about the rings and pistons, the rods are pretty strong too.

      I'm gonna push 12 psi in my 2.0L (it's at 8 psi right now) and i know someone with the same engine pushing 13.5 psi on a bone stock motor.

      They are strong engines if you are carefull and know what you are doing.

      now that youve invested so much time and effort on the aveo... honestly.. is it worth it? or should one just go for the civic?
      my motive is a fast street car and the cars in my class are the 1.3 swifts and esteems...

      Let me ask you this instead.

      How would you feel seeing the face of the guy you just raped thats driving a 38 grand Mazdaspeed 3 or some other type of fast car that costs 5 times as much as a turbocharged Aveo?

      There's your answer... its TOTALLY worth it! Not to mention all the praises i've gotten from ppl all over.

      The day i went to the dragstrip after a few runs i had people running back to the parking lot they wanted to see wtf i had under the hood, you will not get that type of reaction from a damn Civic. I wish i had brought my camera to take a pic at the dozen ppl wanting a look at the engine bay lol!

      I'm going for it... really, it seems like the turbo manifold and the ecu are the biggest hurdles... other than that, I'm looking at some kits that have everything else that are universal (wastegate, boost controller, intercooler, etc.) What Nemasys says about the thrill of having a very UNIQUE car is probably worth it... learning about all the stuff along the way is exciting... and time consuming. I'm still learning, but will happily share any knowledge I have, at any point. For now, there's a lot of good info on the "pre-turbo modifications" thread (courtesy of long time members-I'm a newb still ; ) Good luck!

      Yeah being unique is cool and all but the one time I heard a blow off valve and turned expecting civic wrx something what I saw was ....... a PT Cruiser ...... and I didn't go oh thats so cool, I went, now why would you do that. As far as boost my civic has a B18A1 block in it which is good for 15 lbs of boost bone stock as far as internals go. Also the day I watched a video of a civic beating a lambo down the 1/4 mile was the day I decided to keep mine. My Aveo will stay my daily driver and maybe get a couple mods here and there but I don't expect a lot out of it.

      The PT Cruiser could be bought with a turbo on it. It was an option to get the 2.4L with a turbo, btw.
      I leased Pontiac Wave from September 2006 to August 2011.

      is there a chip set up for these cars like they got for the big trucks to adjust preformance.

      i am adding a turbo to an 05 aveo, and well i want to know if i am going to have to takeit somewhere so that they can set the fuel/air balance. i am adding the turbo for primaraly increase mileage.

      i would feel the same as it did doing that in my geo metro. getting 63 miles to the gallon with a 6 over 2 degree to 7 degree advance. custom build tranny scarey top speed of 112. i also forgot to mention the turbo taken off the suzuki counter part.

      Would it be alright not to have a waste gate?
      How would one run oil to the turbo? is there an adapter the bolts on to the oil filter port? i know it take the metric filters i had an adaptor on my geo but that was a standard size filter port got that off a 351 cleveland in the junk yard.
