wondering if the twin turbo's are integrated into the exhaust manifolds, like on the sonic.

basically, if you would know if it would be possible to take one of those turbo's and replace the sonic turbo. whether it be an easy swap, or a lot of custom work.

oh, and if you know the size of the turbos being used.

Honestly not sure.

There's a few images and videos there that might help.

From what I understand, the 1.4T's turbo is located where it is to reduce turbo lag as much as possible.

I can live with lag, if I get more power. besides, I can slap on a 50shot nitrous to help with the lag.

Well you have to remember most Sonic/Cruze/Encore owners aren't going for performance.

Still waiting on the 1.6T...
