My name is Jeramiel and I am a proud owner of a 1995 Geo Metro/Lsi :rocker ... A little while ago I did a search for a turbo for my car and stumbled accross your forums... So I registerd and am wondering if anyone has a turbo on their Geo and has had some good results.. Also.. If someone can direct me into getting a turbo for my Geo.. Would it be worth it?? B-)

Welcome to GMF Jeramiel!! So you want to go turbo?? :drool :drool You and me both ...

Well it depends on what you want. If you want insane speed its not worth it ... buy a fast car. These are econoboxes and are cheaply and simply built. Stress them to much and they break ... badly. :x

If you want a nippy little car under low boost then its doable and very highly worth it. You can run 7-9 psi on your stock engine safely with a few fueling mods and normal turbo parts. You might need a few upgrades though (brake upgrade and chassis bracing)

If you want super MPG (50+) then maybe boost is not for you.

We can discuss your options and swap ideas if you like as we have the same goal. :thumb You can also visit www.teamswift.net they have lots of boost threads there ... B-)

Well thats the basis of GMF I think. What you could do is search for threads that tell you how to calculate your MPG, do it, then post results. Then you can be helped from there ... :thumb

Welcome to your new forum, Jeramiel! :coffee

We have a few turbo Geo owners who will also chime in, I'm sure. I stayed NA and simply added a street/race performance cam which was the biggest improvement in power. :-/
