Is the Chevy Cruze a turbo or non turbo?
Remember though the volt engine is just a generator and it utilizes electric motors to drove the wheels. The 1.4 non turbo makes significantly less torque at a much higher RPM which is what allows a car as heavy as the cruze to use such a tiny engine without always falling on its face.
How many horsepower does a Chevrolet Cruze have?
It’s a safety concern because there is horrible acceleration. Trying to get onto a highway is dangerous, the turbo adds quite a bit on this car, 5 HP would be an understatement, it’s probably more on the 50HP range. I will have to see if I can find the old work order.
When did I Buy my 2015 Chevy Cruze?

When to worry about a Cruze turbo failure?
Sorry to hear about your misfortune. It is my personal opinion that an early turbo failure would be a turbo failing around 10K or even 50K. Sounds like your Cruze should have been treated under the “Severe” Maintenece schedule. 50,000 miles/year is not normal and therefore warrants more frequent oil changes and upkeep etc.

What should I do about my Cruze turbo boost?
The Forge BPV is a great replacement. If you suspect the wastegate actuator is rusted out inside as well, a junkyard would be a good source for that. It does look like the car is moving the arm, however, as boost builds to 16 psi and levels off. Maybe not as well as it should move… Start looking for a new turbo/manifold. Sorry to say.
