4. Tune the system on a dyno (this is probably our most challenging point).
5. BE PREPARED for downtime - there always is.

Great list

6. Be prepared to spend a lot more than you originally planned, especially on the tuning.
7. Don't start cutting corners with cheap parts or try a DIY when you go over budget.

Thanks for the input guys. I'm only considering piecing together a kit if I can't get my hands on a decently priced supercharger within the next few months.

Even if I can't, I'll probably be looking for a Greddy kit to modify rather than making my own. I don't want my first experience with forced induction to be entirely custom.

The first thing you will learn is that you need money, secondly is time, and 3rd is the ability to research the hell out of what you are doing so you don't waste 3-5k. Here are few that really helped me. http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27536 http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sho...ighlight=turbo http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sho...ighlight=turbo http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14041 http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10624 http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19728 http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17826 http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13406 __________________ 1990 Mazda Miata...
