    Still have acceleration issues after replacing Everything!

My 2013 Sonic started to run the rpms up to about 5 grand, and I could do nothing about it. Shut the car off, started it again, ( still in the...

    Runs like a moped, no power at all

    Well, my little Sonic is sick. I've got mods, aftermarket turbo, e-85 tune from Vermont tuning, intercooler, no cats with a borla exhaust, etc. My car now will run OK when cold, but as soon as it warms up, it's like it's in limp mode, right from a dead stop. I have to run it to about 4 grand...

    HELP! Still have the "Puff" of Smoke after changing everything!

    Hey Sonic Folks! :sadbanana:I've had the notorious "Blue Puff of Smoke" on my 2013 Sonic for a while now. I swapped out the turbo, changed the Valve Cover, and replaced the Bypass Actuator Valve on the back of the Intake. STILL blowing oil, but not as bad. I thought it would take a bit to clear...

    The Chronic Sonic Story...

    Hey all my fellow Sonic owners! Here are some pics of my '13 Sonic LTZ. Bought it off the showroom floor in '13. Didn't take too long for me to realize that there was a monster inside this thing, if only I could drag it out. I started with a K & N CAI. Then, added a Borla Cat Back. I found a...

    Installing the Trifecta Elite Tune

    Finally, I received my tune file from BNR for my Trifecta tune. Didn't take that long. The cable will arrive today. Has anyone installed this tune on a 2013 Sonic 1.4 LTZ? I have a K & N CAR, BNR Downpipe, and Borla Cat Back. All aftermarket/upgrades were sent to Trifecta. Anybody that has...

    New 2013 LTZ 1.4T Sonic Owner

    Hello all you fellow Sonic Owners! I kept coming back to this forum to read up on some mods I wanted to make, and figured I'd better join to get all the benefits out of the site.
