      Sonic turbo engine swap?

      Hey all, I have a 2010 Aveo 5 hatchback. It's a nice little car, gets good mileage, but my daily driving experience has been a bit boring as of late. I was wondering, a few years down the road after I've saved up and planned a bit, how easy would an engine/possibly trans swap from a sonic be? I like the fact that it's factory turbo'd and hopefully I could get a standalone ecu down the road as well and run a bit more boost.

      Hey, trunkspace, welcome to the forum!

      It's no small job doing that kind of swap. We've got a few swap threads in the forum if you want to see what other people have done. Check our modifications/customizations section:

      In a couple more years, the first year of Sonics will be 5 or 6 years old. Might be better to just get one then!
