more sturdy? almost. more sturdy than a stock bumper after chopping it to make your aero and intercooler fit? Yes :wink:

When the mounts die ( and they will ) that turbo will probably run into the fans and hood... Don't you remember how to check for bad engine mounts? Put foot brake on and tap the throttle a couple times with someone watching the engine and go from rev to drive, back and forth and you'll see how the engine torques... i think in drive it'll move forward if i remember right... but you'll get to see how much play is in the stock mounts (assuming they are still good, this is an aveo).. thats why i suggested solid or stiffer mounts.. those four cylinders vibrate quite a bit and move around a lot.. so think of that before completely finishing on the product.
hahaha
lol cody your dumb.
thank you for the help though sir. see you at fireturd rapeway
Well thats the last thing you'd want is a rubbing complaint..
I meant the hahahahahhahahahahhhhahahaha part
Pfff.. you never called me back asshat! I was going to tell you i have drag radials and right now i have enough money to do some good mods.. either continue in the lightening process or start going in on the turbo setup.
Dude give him a break, if he pulls this off he will be one of the 1st to actually do a legit kit that actually bolts onQuote:

Please keep me up to date if you can and let me know how you are making out. I am quite sure an Aveo at Auto Cross with a turbo will raise some eyebrows:)

eyebrows raised as would your class. You would get owned in whatever class the turbo puts you in. As long as you don't really care, boost is fun.
You do realize that'll bump you in one of two classes most likly (I haven't auto-x since I started driving). Normally the kinda cars you see in these classes is a 1500# turbo miata about 1" off the ground with slicks.Quote:

Any more info on this turbo kit? :D
We will be bringing this back, just need funding, and a willing purchaser to complete this, that's all.
Reviving an old thread to see if there were ever any takers or updates
