my question will the aveo with a small turbo (t3 ,t25,14b somthing of that nature that will spool quick, no need for large cfm as it will be low power,low boost)
and an fmu along with an ebay intercooler and custom piping be reliable
would i need larger injectors for such low boost? if so what kind of injectors do i need to look in to (from what i understand about 170hp (high hopes) requires about 320cc injectors give or take, would some cheap dsm 450's work? would they be overkill? how would i go about either programing or having the ecu programed for the larger injectors and boost
where would i be able to do this? will a standard dyno shoppe be able to dyno tune the stock ecu so handle said mods? will i need some sort of adjustable piggyback?

as for the hardware i have no problems (other than the my welder crapped out 2 weeks ago so i will need to use couplers until i can take it to the muffler shoppe to have piping welded up and i might be buying a log manny and i will need to make an intake manny that is not so restrictive and is not plastic, and i am also hoping to retrofit a larger tb to flow better as with the tiny tb on the stocker even tho it has a 6500rpm redline it runs out of breath at 5500rpm)


if someone could help me trouble shoot these points i would appriciate it i plan on keeping an up to date build thread with pics of the process so (tho hmt will inevitably have members that will so no need for me to give permission to) flame away but if you could keep the flaming to a minimum i would appriciate it

make sense?

Look at it this way, a walbro 190lph will be maxed out with four 240cc injectors at 95psi.


Those kits come with 255lph HPs for a reason. Cause they can max out at 8psi on a 12:1 FMU which is pushing 120+psi of rail pressure.
