Probably not compatible. The 2 is DI. The 1 isn't.

According to this article. The 2 has the new ecotech engine.

Gen 2 has only 1 engine in all models. 1.4 turbo with direct injection. Turbo bolts directly to head with no exhaust manifold. None of these parts will interchange from Gen 1 to Gen 2.

Well anyone know of aftermarket injectors compatible with the LE2 1.4l engine?

It's my understanding the injectors are not the limiting factor on an engine with the stock turbo.

One problem with DI engines is fuel spray on the cylinder walls, which would get worse with bigger injector nozzles.

What do you suggest is needed before adding bigger turbo

I'd talk to [email protected] and see what he can do with the stock injectors, or if he can recommend other injectors (maybe stock injectors from a higher output engine) if you need them to keep up with the air from the bigger turbo.
