noob here.. need help on questions about turbo and engine life
ive looked around the forum ( which im still new to) and i want to know how will a turbo effect the life of my engine??? i can do basic things likes like swap parts no problem and troubleshoot problems with my haynes manual..but my guess is with these small engines, there probally not meant to have too many horsies... ive been told a bolt on turbo is probally the best for me with my average knowledge about cars.. HELP????

Anything you do to increase performance will come at a price. Increase wear and tear, etc. You have to WANT it bad. Not just a passing fancy. If you aren't ready/willing to commit a lot of TIME and MONEY, then a Turbo isn't right for you.
Sorry if that came out as harsh but I just had to get that out of the way. Here is a guide from Focus Shift on how he installed his Zage Turbo Kit. http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30375 Read it then decide if you can do the install yourself. Not sure how much a shop will charge to install a Turbo, but I highly doubt it'll be cheap. And just for the record, I don't have a Turbo or Supercharger. Lack of Funds is my problem. |

If you push the boost as high as you can, while driving it like you stole it, and you don't take care of it, and don't mod the internals, you will kill your engine very quickly.

:P Ahhhhhh see xbgod I was wondering how many more of these threads you could deal with before you realized its impossible to teach people who want everything just handed to them as if no info existed out there.
Queue up the gif where the cursor goes to click "new thread" and it gets moved to the "search" button. |

You are so right.
This one does strike me as strange almost as if Trolling. Two seperate threads on the same thing. Or this guy really is sleeping in a cave. I know we all like to help but damn, does anybody do a little research anymore? XBG |

Yeah as the first post appeared in the other forum I already thought it was a troll to begin with, so no need to even respond. Or he may even just be young. (Did you see the kid who posted who is the youngest in the DIY/Service section?! REALLY?! LOL)
I like to help if it is a legit question and its not something that could have been researched easily before hand, like this one, its a basic question thats been beaten to death. And sure someone answered it helpfully, but im sure you understand it will never stop. Perfect example is on the audi forums theres a warning that says do not ask about this this this and this. But we still get threads like can I use a BOV on my car when we should use Diverter valves. Or is this the best exhaust. Is this the best intake. etc etc etc. Beaten to DEATH 10x over. |

In his other thread he said he was a family guy. So the question goes to ponder if he is really clueless about this stuff or is he fishing. Either way I think were all moving on unless he can really pull a rabit out of his ass. And explain......................

D&D. hahahah made me REALLY laugh, Aras.
I'm new school and like to play MW or Battlefield 2. Not in the Army anymore so I got to get my fix. Speaking of which, my AR15 hasn't been used in a while. Need to go to the range. Just got an awesome Trijicon ACOG for it:) w00t

Yes, I do worry about dropping money on a turbo kit.
The only reason I worry is because it is my dd. I can't have any down time because my car is used for business. That is why I am going to have a pro install done. All of this factors into the total dollar amount. Shit, if I was gonna do it myself then I would prolly have just pieced together a cheap kit and would troubleshoot. Can't do that. Was planning on spending a week or so in Buffalo where the shop is to get it right. I mean testing the shit out of it. So, I do have to be careful. Besides, I didn't pay no where near what you see at retail for the ACOG:) I am ex-Army and will always love my weapons and am a true believer in home defense. Although, the AR isn't for that - the Benelli is!
