This is my first post, take it easy on me please!

I'm looking at the kit on http://www.turbo-kits.com/yaris_turbo_kits.html , looks to have good brand name parts. I know nothing about this company or its reputation. Any comments?

On to business, the install of the kit and intercooler looks easy enough.

What are all then in's and out's of setup for a DIY backyard mechanic.

I know injectors are needed and the AEM F/IC (not included in the kit) as per email with them. What gauges are necessary once setup, I would like to keep stock interior look (no big gauges & wire mess).


Fuel management; I'm wondering how the tuning of the AEM F/IC is done, tools , procedure, etc. I have yet to contact them if they have the maps for the AEM F/IC. I have no problem with computers (being a uber geeky linux user and all) but if i need other expensive (one time use) equipment then maybe its best left to the specialist.

That being said, I don't know of any tune shop in Nova Scotia (or Anywhere in the Maritimes even)!

Any insight into this extensive undertaking is appreciated,
Thank you!

I just installed my forged 1NZFE engine on the old yaris, still it needs wiring and exhaust + map tune up. In my opinion I will never go with a kit but that is just an opinion. I will post a thread with some pics and vids + dyno charts in the next weeks.... Estimated 200bhp... Cheers
