Yeah -- it didn't. However, I did get the finalized drawings, so it's off to a new fabricator.

you just tap into the main feed line, or into the side of the block where the test spot is. the pressure will be enough to send it to turbo and back to sump/pan.

cost i can see, and i can't...a custom manifold could cost upwards of 1500 bux. the whole turbo setup for rear mount could cost 1500 bux. but, mounting, welding, rigging and setting up could be a pain if you dont know what you're doing. plus there's much more room in the exhaust/rear section of the car over the engine bay.

and i can completely understand the water...i live in SETX...when it rains it floods...and it rains often. i actually had to shield the top side of my intake where the hood stops and the bumper starts....water was poring in there.

any way, when i start getting funds together and whenever a program setup becomes available...i may end up with a rear mount setup. seems to work good on v8 cars, sold on me.

Sorry but the pressure is not enough to send the oil back. That is why STS has an electric oil pump. Oil is high pressure in and gravity fed out. Go ahead and get the STS kit for your car. They sell a universal kit that should work.

my buddy from turbowerx makes a great electronic oil pump that would work great for a rear mount turbo, I can see the use for a rear mount turbo in a car that doesn't have turbo kits readily available or in an accesible location, but not really the yaris. But props to you if anyone tries it.

I'd buy one right now if I knew how to install it :P

Yes it will require a electric oil pump/sending unit and it also has a low pressure alarm to let you know before you kill the bearing on your turbo. Cost is an issue, not really the money just the fact that it would cost me about half of what the car cost to do the mod and not really wanting to do that on my DD. Just thought it would be a cool topic since nobody has brought it up on here before. Another advantage would be weight distribution to the back as apposed to the front and might even be lighter than stock muffler?
Anyways it sure would be sweet to see someone put this on their Y
