I NEED Boost... Opinions puh-lease

[Nexus1155]

I skimmed it over, is this guide going to ZAGE? Looks pretty in depth though which is good. LOL I like the use of gaybolt.jpg.. I don't know if you were trying to, but you might want to try to embed the pics? I don't know if you did because Word did something funny with converting the file, but yeah I'll read it when i get back from the garage.

Yeah word really was a poor choice, I really wanted to embed the pictures but it was a nightmare... Probably gonna make a PDF or something. The guide will be going to zage, but I'm going to post it up here as well. I'm hoping with a guide that's super in depth, maybe it'll sway some people to take the plunge like I did. It's much more reassuring to do something you know that has been done successfully... and nerve-racking when you're the one entering the uncharted waters first.
Really though, how many turbocharged Yaris' are there in the states currently with me included, five?

Also, thanks a lot for the cheers of joys guys, but apparently I'm not quite there yet...

Was driving to work today, oil idiot light started flashing and then stayed on, accompanied by a CEL. I'm still leaking oil BAD. Had to stop and buy 4 quarts of oil. Immediately threw 2 in. Had to throw the third in on the way home. Hopefully I was prompt enough in dealing with it. I was watching my oil pressure closely and was getting worried... sure enough.

So, it's time to stop beating around the bush and deal with this the right way. I have all day available to me tomorrow, so the turbo + downpipe will be coming out.

This time around, I'll seal the banjo bolt + washers, return flange, return gasket, return bolts, etc. with silicone sealant. I really should have done this the first time around, but I had no idea this was going to happen. Will also inject the turbo with the crappy oil I had to buy and look for leaks. If anyone else has any other ideas or thinks silicone is going to suck for this use, let me know immediately.

On the positive side, I was able to (hopefully) drive this thing without doing any damage, so it'll be a lot easier to be patient now. I still can't even begin to describe how much fun it is to drive this car. I swear, everytime I see the needle on my boost gauge pass the 0, I get such a huge smile lol. Between my exhaust and turbo, the noise and feeling when you hit the throttle.. is intoxicating

On a side note, I felt it was time to change my ride details.
