i would be careful when u turbo that eco tech, they get really touchy when you do that, our freind has gone threw 3 eco tech motors in his sandrails they were all turboed, the first one was when he drove it down the street then it blew up when it hit boost

Thanks for the warning. I'll turbo it gently...
Actually, Saturn and Cobalts had a supercharger for this engine. That might be more manageable power. Anyone seen one of these used in an off-road or sandrail?

Good to see you back at it. You can turbo a 1.8 liter VW water cooled engines with few mods to 275 hp and get away with it. They are overbuilt. I suspect an ecotech NA and a Eco tech turbo engines have totally different parts and compression. If your not using feed back FI and a knock sensor with a turbo your living on borrowed time.
