      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.

      I'm in for a complete low boost kit the whole thing has to be bolt , plug and play so it must have to have some engine management provision with it , not blow the engine out in the first 10000 miles and not require a major forged piston rebuild before it can be safely used.
      I stress complete including required exhaust components.

      im not sure what that means entirely, but they are a pro shop. assuming that a ECU-tune is the best option, then im also assuming thats what they will do.

      im counting 5 others interested, not a bad figure to walk in their with!

      im told 5 or 6 PSI is a safe boost to run without doing a complete engine rebuild. that equates to roughly 50 or 60 HP. like i said, they do their own fab work, and my car would be their frankenstein. by the time they're done, their wont be any bugs or fab for you to work out yourself.
