Hey everyone,

I just recently got a 2012 Chevy Cruze LTZ with the 1.4T engine (turbocharged). I was trying to look up some info on it and couldn't find what i was looking for. I am trying to find a bigger turbo kit made for this car and was wondering if anyone knows of one out there, or would i just have to buy a random turbo kit and try to modify it and the car to make it fit and work. Also does anyone know how many PSI's a cruze can handle before having to redo the internals of the engine? Im not looking to make this the fastest car out there but I do want it to have more power then what it does. Also would it help to put an aftermarket exhaust on it? If so same questions apply. Any help or links to helpful information would be greatly appreciated.

Zzp has the best exhaust options. 170-180whp @20psi is about the limit on the stock turbo and pump gas. No one makes a bolt on big turbo upgrade for it right now. Stock they put down just over 100whp. The tune is the biggest bang for the buck. Trifecta is everyone's favorite mail order tune.

Nice. I do my own tuning with hptuners but from what i've read the trifecta tune is a bit more conservative than some of the other mail orders. OP you should contact this guy. Their tune smooths out the transmission considerably.

thank you,

i also just installed the K&N Cold Air Intake system, and can already hear a huge difference in the air intake and the turbo. What do you guys think is the best aftermarket exhaust for the cruze? I was looking at some of them on ZZP but i couldnt seem to find any full exhaust kits.
