      you could always do what I did and get a trifecta tune, I haven't regretted spending the money for mine yet. quicker throttle response, easier to reach our top speed, better gas mileage, just all around fix to our cars lol, unfortunately though, not sure I'll be keeping my tune once my turbo is on, too hard to remote tune for it.

      Your installing a turbo on your Aveo? Isn't that expensive?

      Ive been seriously contemplating a turbo as well, but i have 2 issues, #1 is tuning the ECU, and #2 is my transmission/clutch

      my buddy is a GM Tech/ engineer, and he knows how to tune, so that's taken care of, I had an old turbo which is the perfect size for the project, just needs a rebuild, so pretty much all I need is the manifold, and figure out cooling, fueling, and getting oil/ water to it. all in all it might run me around 1000$. We'll see, hopefully the automatic trans can hold the power, after all its a smaller turbo and it will be limited to 8psi. So not like it's going to add THAT much power.

      I want only want to do 6psi... air-to-air intercooler, and oil feed line should be relatively easy to setup. see if you could get 2 manifolds made for cheaper, and sell one to me

      getting a manifold made is going to run me about a grand.... for just one, so I'm thinking of running a rear mounted turbo, going to be cheaper, easier to install, and slightly safer. Going to get less power out of it, but I'd still be turbo lol

      thats sounds way too expensive to me..

      This will bolt on, with a set of injectors, the maf, an oil line (or more) and the ecu.. you could be up an running...

      our ecu is turbo ready, in fact, or might be the same as that one, however, I have looked into this header and they don't ship to the us, and if they could, it would be expensive as hell just to ship.

      Slight problem there, that one is for a diesel

      Edit: I am wrong. I was looking at something similar for a zafira last night that was a diesel
