I got Morgan's Blitz supercharger kit (xB retrofit) last week and installed it over the weekend. I figured with President's Day off I had better chances at finishing everything before I needed the car to go to work.

By Tuesday morning, I hadn't even begun working on the wiring, so I took my wife's Scion xD to work, since she was on vacation, just to be on the safe side. The Yaris would start, but the idle was rough, the engine would stall when idling at very low RPM so I didn't want to take any chances.

I spent 4 hours Tuesday night soldering everything and took it for a test ride at 12:30 AM :smile: Whoo-hoo! It was all worth it :thumbup:

Next stop, water/meth injection kit. It came with the Blitz, just haven't had time to work on that yet.

Once the engine warms up and the idle RPM's are low (below 800 RPM I would say) the CEL comes on. The idle is still quite rough when the engine is warm. Checked the codes: random misfire on all 4 cylinders. I'll give the ECU some more time to adapt, but I don't worry too much about it. Let me know if you think I should :smile:

If it's going to adjust it will happen in a few days at the most. Wonder why it's idling low -- no vacuum leaks?

^ I haven't checked that yet... still wondering if I should take it to the shop or try some method myself...
