Hello to all.
Hey guys, im new here.. im from the Philippines but im here now in mainland USA. i own a 2005 Chevrolet aveo LT hatchback back home.. i belong to a small car group back home that does force induction to any car, this is my first DIY car that i turbocharged and as of now its running alright, well maybe its because im only limiting it to 8psi of boost but im planning to replace its ECU with a megasquirt standalone box and maybe replace my stock head gasket with a 2mm copper gasket so i could give it a little more. So what do you guys think, will my wild project be successful if i did all that and maybe lift my boost to like 12psi??
Are you saying your running 8 psi on the stock ecu without any fuel management? Not a wise idea, frankly im surprised it works. Post pics to proove you do have a turbo'ed aveo. I've heard quite my share of these stories, i'm not saying your a liar but i won't really believe you until i see pics or a video.

im new here too. I have a 2005 suzuki reno (u20sed) and have been researching turbochargers and installation for a while. I have used this website for info a little before but i decided to join. I was just about to start my DYI turbo install then cut my hand on a box cutter (workers comp. lol) and now have to wait 4 months, i cut my tendons and severed all nerves in my hand!!!!! I love our cars and hope someday they can become a little more mainstream than they are..... just little though.
