Yoda...As far as engine management have you looked into Snipertune? They do mostly fords and the NC Miata. The NC had a similar situation that the yaris has with a learning ecu. I know they are somewhere in northern Florida. Maybe you can call them and get some info.

Yoda · 03-31-2010, 01:24 AM

never heard of them but will def give them a ring THANKS for the info

keep us updated on the family and the situation

good to hear you're staying strong though

Yoda · 07-21-2010, 07:24 PM

Sorry for just now updating didn't have time before and not really that much right now. Just got a message from Focus_Sh1ft about the kit i bought so might as well let everyone know whats up. Sit back and here is the low down on my situation and the Zage Kit.This is gonna be long.

1.
Lots of problems arose with family and all that and they were solved thank God. That left me with money to save and install the kit.... Not so, about 2 weeks later i got involved in a hit and run. Nothing too bad they just took my rear bumper off completely and a little frame damage. Police caught them but they did not have insurance hence why they ran. Got quoted $600 to fix it by a few shops. My insurance Gieco wants me to pay a $500 deductible to fix it. I said ok i will ride around with no bumper until i can pay to do it.
2.
Maybe like 3 weeks later i got into a fight with some random guy. Reason being he was insulting my lady calling her names and the sort. I was just walking away dragging her with me since he was drunk and all. Then he shouted "you better run n***er". O it gets better he then runs up to me and i decked him one good time

Out cold he was but i also broke my thumb.
To the emergency room i went and gotten everything taken care off....
3.
Some weeks later i get a hospital bill for $3213.50. Then the emergency room bill for $665.00 after that was family doctor bill for $173.70. Lastly they charged me for doing three xray views on my hand $20.63.

Called Aetna my insurance company to ask WTF? They told me that something with my policy change and they need a deductible of $2400 for them to cover 90% of my charges.

So yea all this led me to sell the kit to a guy i meet in Port St Lucie. he gave me $1000 cash (low ball but i needed the money badly).
4.
Now you all heard about the zage kit and all. Well he installed and called me about a week after. Long conversation. Heres the low down from what he told me. There are no instructions just some pictures for the installation. There are some fitment issues but he solved them. He then tried to contact Zage to help with the install when he got stuck. They were not responsive. Dont kno if it was because he didnt buy it directly from them. Regardless he got it up and running. Then he said something in the turbo exploded and he now has metal in his intercooler and maybe the engine too he is not sure. He then tried to blame me for it and i told him to take it up with Zage as i warned him before the sale that its not been tested in the US.

So this is where i am at guys sorry for taking so long and all. Life just seems to just be grinding me down

Good news tho i am up fro a promotion in the upcoming month. They are moving me to Alabama....

But hey its a good pay increase. The cop took some pics of the bumper if any1 wants so see it i can post it. And i have some random stock parts too if people are in need.

Nexus1155 · 07-21-2010, 07:32 PM

Sorry to hear about all of the hardships that you have endured, but atleast you look like you are getting through them with your head held high.

Regardless, I feel he did not prime the turbos and blew the seals or wasnt lubricated when spinning. I just spiked 30psi on my chinese turbo yesterday by accident and it held through flawlessly. Everyone says my car sounds nice the way its running. 2x the chinese turbos 2x the expectation for failure

right? lol no they work great so far.

Yoda · 07-21-2010, 07:39 PM

i didnt ask him if he primed it or not. Most dont kno that i guess, he owns his own shop tho so idk. I learn about it when i was doing my research lol. But the main thing is that he got it working so the turbo might be the weak point if not taken care of in detail.
