It doesn't look that bad in the pics you posted.

As for the cruise cam bracket ... a buddy of mine just used ABS pastic and designed it to fit the holes of your headrest. He had a couple and soldt hem for $15 each.

There's a lightweight springy thing that must keep the auxilliary foam filter in place. I suppose that if the main filter got clogged while you're under boost, the force of the air coming through the bypass filter could push this plastic thing into the intake.

Personally, I think it is unlikely but I'll take some pictures and post them.

I'm curious about the performance of a SC'd yaris on the track.

Some people are not very impressed with the overall power gains from the blitz charger... but I will like to hear a review of how those gains make the car behave on a course. Is well know that the yaris can keep up with much more powerful cars on the curves... but will it be able now to keep up a lil better on the straights?

You cannot have more power. You already have one of the best looking Yaris on this forum. You can only have best looks, best gas mileage, or more power. Two out of three not allowed.

Hey Long... thanks for posting up info & pics about the AFE fitment. That was my experience too that the Blitz moved the throttle body a little towards the driver's side of the car... my stock airbox was a little bit harder to put together than before. Good to know! This box seals itself against the hood, right? So where is it getting its air from? The front grille?

And Castrex... I think a Blitz boosted Yaris would do well on a short track... like auto-x... the peak HP might not be great, but it has wicked torque in the 2k-4k range... it just PULLS!
