ZAGE Turbo... - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

TheRealEnth · 08-18-2009, 01:28 AM

yeah how come noone wants to do it is what i say... I know there are lots of Members who have been running Zage for years and so far they havent reported anything wrong. Replace the parts that seem a little sneaky and ur good to go right?

I think one problem's convenience... as affordable as this kit may be, until we have a turbo solution that's as "simple" to install as the Blitz SC (bolt this here, bolt this there, splice these wires, go!), we're not gonna see many turboed Yarii anytime soon.

But lets say... I switch the turbo cause every1 says it sucks... and i knew how to install the kit. And I ran it for 6 months safe, would every1 buy it? lol

If, like the Blitz SC Pioneers, you can give clear and concise explanations of each step to success, then I am sure it will encourage others to follow suit.

Doubtful, I'm quite sure they'll be mostly identical to your stock one. There again we need someone to show us exactly how to make an aftermarket piggyback work properly. It's been done, Blitz can do it with their fuel controller, it's just a matter of figuring out the trick so that anyone can do it

A turbo is a pretty 'deep' project for someone's daily driver. Even a proven bolt-on kit would only be popular with certain owners, and I think very few of us.

I'd like to see cdyjded (sp) post wiring diagrams and step by step for the AEM FIC. Now THAT would be a large step in the right direction. And how about those overseas guys with successful installations?

Why aren't we sharing technical data??

mrbond · 08-18-2009, 10:57 AM

^ that's exactly what I've been waiting for as well. It's one thing to say that an FIC has been installed successfully, but it's an entirely different thing to SHOW the rest of the community how they did it.

Castrex is saying that Boomslang is supposed to be releasing a PnP harness for the FIC to be used with the Yaris

turbo size does not determine kit reliability

I wrote to Boomslang over week ago and they CONFIRMED they were coming out with a PnP patch for the Yaris. They already had the connectors and the harness should be out any time...

so judging by the turbo threads of the past, we will successfully have a proven bolt on turbo kit for our yaris in about... 3 years? lol
