1.8L Turbo Kit

Like Eric said, take the gamble (and it would be huge on the charge pipe routing) or pay 400 less and let them figure out ALL the problems for you.

like what rdss and eric said lol

Honestly $3500 for a profesionaly built turbo kit isnt bad at all. There will be a lot of time spent trying to sort out routing. Labor isnt cheap, neither are parts. You would be paying $3500 to have someone develop and install a turbo on your car. Thats not bad at all.

 

[Eric Smit]

Precisely.

Yeah, that $7000 Eric mentioned earlier is what I would expect for labor+parts. I'm assuming the $3500 these guys are offering is for labor+parts+testing, so as long as you're fine making your sonic their guinea pig, it's a good deal

All of the above plus I suspect the $3500 includes dyno tuning (which takes the tuner a few hours and several to a dozen pulls) which can cost $500.

Luckily they have the Cruze set up already, so dyno time shouldn't take to long.

I don't think it is that simple, especially since modifying the plumbing is part of the install. No, I don't think it is that simple at all.

Which just reiterates that $3500 is a great deal to be the first.

very good deal....i was quoted $6550 at a shop here in ATL..i'd rather spend the $3500 any day

 

[12Sonic440]

Someone else can be the first for that and I'll pay $400 more after all the bugs are fixed =)

In the works with Howie from HEPerformance down in PA. Should hopefully be the first 1.8L turbo on the streets within a month or two. Can't wait! I'll keep everyone posted on the progress!

Oh how the times change.

And it only took 10 days!
