^ Let's start with the turbo.

1. T3/T4 is large for the Yaris, you will get some nice lag from that one.

2. Ask them what brand it is. I would never put a cheap no-name turbo at the heart of my boosted system.

3. What are we missing here? MANAGEMENT, including wiring and tuning.

4. What if you have a problem with the eBay seller after you purchase this?

Should I keep going?

I realized management was missing (some modification to the piping seems to be necessary as well), but didn't realize T3 would be too large. The turbo could always be sold and a smaller Garrett could be bought though. And wouldn't it be beneficial if there's any issues to have a seller to report back to? You don't get that luxury if you're piecing together your own kit.

I don't think I need to even say it, but I'm still pretty inexperienced in FI and just want some opinions

Come to think of it, considering the seller didn't realize a T3 would be too large is a pretty tell tale sign of how little they know as well lol.
