if it were better to blow through the AFM, don't you think Subaru would have done this on their STI? (same part number MAF as the yaris)

What is happening since the return is low in the pan it uses the suction of the oil pump to flow oil. When you are accelarating there is no problem, high pressure in, suction through the oil pan. But at low speeds or between shifts there is not enough suction/flow out of the turbo so you get oil creaping through the seals in the turbo. At that give a little puff of smoke through the exhaust. The best way is up high in the top part of the pan. That way the oil will just flow out of the turbo & into the top of the pan above the oil in the pan.

i ran a -8 return line directly into my pan with absolutely no flow problems.. welded a -8 JIC 90deg fitting facing backwards to the "side" of the pan. proper return line sizing is more of an issue than where the oil flows to.

When going from non turbo to turbo, my opinion is that it is better to blow through than suck through. I used the advise & extensive Toyota knowledge of Lance from Toyomoto & Brandon from PSI Racing. Subaru can put the AFM where ever they want & so can I.

fair enough. as long as your IAT's aren't through the roof post-turbo, i'm sure the stock MAF will be just fine

I also have a -8 return line. But as you stated you welded the bung on the side on the pan, the Zage pan has the hole in the front of the pan in a 45 degree angle.

well that's just dumb of them lol..

umm ok you have to remember i am noob to this whole oil pan thing. So are there two taps in the oil pan? one for feed one for return? Are you sayin that the return line needs to be further up the top of the oil pan so gravity can take the oil from the turbo back down to the pan?
So if the oil flow through the return is not good it can lead to a build up in the turbo and will breach through the seals?
Would like to get it right the first time...synthetic oil not cheap lol.

Again pictures whould really help clear it up when you guys have the time

the feed should come off the front of the engine, where the oil pressure switch is.

have no idea where the heck that is....i am thinking this part of the install gonna give me the most problems

[cali yaris]

^ the Yaris service manuals are your friends, you should be sleeping with them under your pillow.

[Yoda]

lol ha will do

Having a bit of problems getting back in contact with zage.... No response to email and number not working. Can someone else try. I need a final price on the kit

1. buy the HKS kit
2. have a local shop (CFT) modify the downpipe
3. have CFT tune it
4. DONE


i feel like i repeat myself a LOT in the forced induction forum here..

around that.

you should be rolling on $5000 if you want to set up a $2500 turbo kit.
