That was a lot of information. Might need a turbo to cram it in my brain lol. Appreciate you not going too brainy in the explanation. Just in the essence of ecomodding I feel I should have gone for the NA engine...maybe diesel. I have achieved over 200 miles at 60+ mpg with my 1.4t but I feel I could manage near the same numbers with EOnC with the 1.8 and engage EOC without any fear of harming a turbo. So ++ haven't really seen anyone eco drive a Cruze other than myself lol highest mpg on fuelly is near same for 1.4(minus me) and the 1.8. nevertheless it's great to be able to learn how different aspects of motors work and great to have a community here that is willing to share in Lehman's terms.
Thanks for the knowledge and glide on

Side note 48 mpg was achieved with the 1.8l Cruze with a 5 speed manual vs 6 speed of the eco which I have
