      who wants to turbo their 1.6?

      i need serious answers to get this ball rolling. i see alot of people doing engine swaps to get their cars boosted, and give themselves larger platforms to jump from. but for the novice like myself, who doesnt want the hassle of a whole engine swap, i want a turbo for the 1.6.

      WE CAN DO THIS! HERES HOW....

      their is a local performance shop who does their own Fab work. I believe they'd be interested in cornering the market, and i intend to go in and donate my car for the prototyping of EVERYTHING. Turbo, Meth Kits, Exhaust, Cams, etc. if they make it race wise, im going to get them to do an Aveo series for it. everything will be Bolt-On with no fab work on our parts, because they will be doing all the leg work.

      I need to know how many of us are serious about this, and really want to order some kits when they are put out. I cant go in half cocked with promises of millions of orders from all over the world, mostly because it'll make me look like a dick when it doesnt happen, but it also isnt realistic. i know there was a guy here awhile ago that promised the same thing, but last i knew his kits were never tested.

      im starting to nose around out there just to see what I can dig up... im planning a low boost setup for stock (5psi max) just to make it a bit more peppy and try to make up for what the auto trans is eating up. so far im thinking about a t25 and doing some kind of aluminum intake manifold to replace the plastic along with a high flow exhaust setup. I will post progress along the way but have no idea how long it will take to find all thats needed and most importantly who can program it lol.
