  1. Gen1 Powertrain
    New member here writing from Orange County California looking for advice from people who have successfully increased boost on their gen 1. The car in concern belongs to my Grandma and was purchased used with some type of extended warranty. As a result turbo has been replaced twice (stock Garrett...
  2. Gen1 1.4L Turbo
    Howdy y’all, new guy here! Been struggling to get this code fixed and was wondering if I could pick y’all’s brains about it, I’ve read several and I mean several posts here about this code but at the point I’m at its either going to a mechanic next which being in my boat(about to have a baby)...
  3. Gen1 1.4L Turbo
    All The Way! BLUF: I don’t know if my waste gate is loose and causing compression issues. Is the waste gate supposed to be fully shut against the turbo when the car is off? It just seems loose and mine isn’t fully up against the little hole on the turbo. A year ago I replaced my upstream...
  4. General Discussion

  5. Gen1 1.4L Turbo
    Hi all, I have a 2012 chevy cruze with 130k miles that popped up with a p0299 code about 2.5 weeks ago. The code went away for about a week and half before coming back on yesterday. I have a boost gauge in my car and you can see that it is still building boost. In this video I am flooring the...

    When I accelerate it making a whistling sound, hesitates, loss of power, hard to get up to high speed on freeway, leaking oil, white smoke from tailpipe, rough idle, has whistled since put a new turbo in 9 months ago and is getting worse. Has codes P0299 and now two new codes P0106, P00C7. Have...
  7. Gen2 Service Issues
    Bought a 2017 cruze with 1.4 in it. 87k miles. Got a decent deal on it because slight damage in front. Little bit of plastic and the radiator in front bottom had a dent but no leak. Runs and drives fine and everything under the hood looks to be in great shape. On a whim I put my scanner on it...

  9. Gen2 Service Issues
    I know this is an under boost code, I'm having trouble finding a turbo for my 2019, I am finding a lot for the first gen, it is really hard to find them for the second gen, at least in my opinion, are there any sites y'all could recommend? I found one on RockAuto but that's it
  10. Gen1 Service Issues
    I got this car @87800 (my first car) for $5700, now a little over 88000. I thought it’s a good deal then but little did I know. The car didn’t have any code when I bought it, and I did take it to a mechanic, same guy mentioned below, on site he said the car was fine. When I first put gas in it...
  11. Gen1 1.4L Turbo
    So my car tonight getting on the expressway was accelerating the on ramp pulling good and I could feel the power drop. Check engine light comes on. 10 minutes later I scanned the car P0299 low turbo boost. I cleared the code ran another 30 minutes without an incident. I am looking for...
  12. Gen 2 Tuning/Engine Modifications
    Hey everyone, I'm fairly new to this forum and have finally called for help after months of tinkering with my car by myself. I've got a new problem, after all of what I have done to my car it's starting to get mad at me 😄 I'm rocking a full bolt on BNR setup with a K&N air intake, BNR wastegate...
  13. Gen1 1.4L Turbo
    This car is nothing but trouble. Had a coolant leak, replaced the housing, then the gasket on the housing blew. Got all that fixed and now today I started hearing a clicking or tinging noise. I had driven through some debri earlier in the day and it honestly sounded like something got sucked up...
  14. Gen1 Service Issues
    So my car generally speaking seems to fun fine besides some stutter at idle, and we've had it once or twice die when decelerating quickly off of the highway. I recently replaced the coolant reservoir because it had a big crack in the bottom but it is still slowly leaking coolant from somewhere...
  15. General Discussion
    I have a 2016 Chevy Cruze lt that seems to be giving me more and more problems. check engine light had been on for a while and throwing the code p1101 only, so I replaced the MAf sensor, and cleared the code (or so I thought). Engine light still illuminated and it was still giving the same...
  16. Gen1 Service Issues
    I bought my 2011 Cruze Eco a few days ago and my engine light came on a day after. I scanned it and it was P0299 turbo underboost. It hasn't been running too weird, although I had never driven a Cruze before this one so I have no baseline. I cleared the code and it came back a few hours...
  17. Gen1 1.4L Turbo
    I first got the P0299 code when I was driving about 70mph on an incline. I didn't notice any engine trouble and the code disappeared after 2 days. Took it in anyway, and $2,200 later I am back to square one. They replaced: Radiator, Condenser, Intercooler and performed a transmission flush and...
  18. Gen1 1.4L Turbo
    I have a 2015 Chevy Cruze Ltz. The car has about 130,000 miles on it but had a new engine installed around 79,000 miles. The car has been putting out an error code for a year for the evap syetem and hasn’t given me really any issues. I got gas Sunday and as soon as I fired it up I knew something...
  19. Gen1 1.4L Turbo
    So my cruze is a 2013 with 119000 miles, i absolutely love the car but lately it has caused more problems than I can afford. Let me explain: So originally i had the dreaded pcv failure at the valve cover, at the time i could only change the valve cover, well it leaked very little in the front...
  20. Gen1 1.4L Turbo
    Hello all. I have a 2014 1.4L Cruze with 90K miles and was wondering if anyone has had similar issues to what I have been experiencing recently. About two months ago I started noticing blue smoke from the tailpipe when i remote started my car. This only happens when it has sat for a couple of...
