      Swap to 1.4L Turbo Ecotec details . . .

      Hello, I am new to the forums and have been the proud(?) owner of a 2007 Pontiac Wave since it was new.

      The other day I was poking around the dealer whilst my wave was on the hoist, and I was excited to learn about the 1.4L turbo ecotec engine that is available with a 6-speed manual gearbox both in the Chevy Cruze and the soon to be available Chevy Sonic (new Aveo/Wave).

      Well the last few days I've been telling myself that the new Sonic is mine as soon as it's here, I just have to decide between the sedan or hatchback... but now I think: What are the chances that this great engine drops into my Wave? I *think* its the same engine bay but I am not an expert at all in these sorts of things.

      Thanks for reading so far and I guess the main question/topic of this thread is to discuss the details of swapping to the 1.4L turbo engine/6-speed gearbox that comes in the next gen? How close to plug 'n play will it be?
