      because the 04-08 aveos have a 1.6L etec engine and 09+ have a 1.6L ecotec engine.

      im not a mechanic, so i fail to see why a turbo wouldnt work on both engines, provided the turbo was tuned to 1.6L

      Displacement has nothing to do with it. As long as the Ecotec and the Etec head has the same style exhaust flange, it will work for both. The tuning on the other hand..........

      the heads are different from each other. yea its the same displacement, but the way the timing is setup on each engine is different i dont know how, but if you look at most of the inline 4 gm puts in there cars have the ecotec name on them.

      Although there are some similarities, the EcoTec is a completely different configuration. I think it would also require a different manifold. Idk how many differences there are though.

      Re: who wants to turbo their 1.6?

      it will work

      They just slaped ecotech name on to the old etec

      It's not a real ecotec




      Its more fun to drive a slow car fast, rather than drive a fast car slow!
