Default for those I1's with performance mods

i have an I2 and like to get a little bit more hp with an intake or maybe a turbo but some mechanic guy i know just told me hybrids have a lot of sensors and adding these things would cause problems in the future...

some of you guys added turbos or intake to your i1's and was wondering if you have ever got any problems??

thanx

If a company made it, then thats fine. Its the frankenstein stuff you mix and match you got to watch. They arent going to be in business long if the 3k dollar turbo doesnt deliver performance and causes engine failure.

Since 5 psi is 1/3 of an atmosphere, it will increase power by 1/3. That 67 hp engine will have about 90.
