Turbo my NON turbo Sonic

[Blackjeezus1377]

I have a 2015 Chevy Sonic 1.4. I want to add the stock turbo to this. Can anyone tell me what parts are required for me to install this i know the manifold and turbo come in one piece. What parts would I have to get to finish the install? For the oil sending and return are there bolt on parts I could buy?

I've went to the local salvage yard and found a turbo 1.4 engine and bought the whole motor for $300. Just took what I needed to turbo my engine in my sonic.. just saying

Just wondering the 1.4L is already turboed...I'm assuming your trying to turbo your 1.8L with 1.4L parts? The integrated turbo manifold wont fit since the egr valve and hoops clip is in the way. If your trying to turbo your 1.8L you will need Opel/Vauxhall astra VXR turbo manifold which fits perfectly. You will need the 1.8L turbo version ecu and reflash it to communicate to your bcm, tcm, and replace the fuel pump with the opel/Vauxhall version and replace with that fuel pump module. You will also need that version of fuel injectors.i would recommend either hp tuners for custom reflash and tune to pair the euro ecu on your American sonic.the sonic runs a can bus system so the oem sonic 1.8L ECU is paired to your transmission and body control module and your vin is paired....or to save money use the opel/Vauxhall parts and a haltech or mircosquirt standalone ecus to custom pair everything

For the 1.4L and a stock turbo fit the integrated turbo, replace the turbo oil drain pipe, and oil cooling hose and coolant hose since they are high failure parts. If your looking to tune...the stock turbo is small and falls flat after 18.5psi
