dyno results are in!!!!

I had some questions. For someone who has never installed a turbo but has more than enough experience on cars(ive removed power steering pumps, water pumps, alternators, starters, swapped stock exhaust manifolds with headers, tons of wiring experience)how hard is the install? How long does it take? full day? weekend? can all this be done without removing tons of parts from the car? im sure removing the wiper blades, trim, wiper motor and that big sheet metal piece would make the install tons easier.....

It looked like a 5 speed in the dyno video, what are your thoughts on the auto? any things to worry about?

yeah, it blowing to pieces. Can you imagine a econocar auto running 200hp when it was built economicall for 100? Not pretty. Besides, unless you're running 1000hp Supras or muscle cars, turboing a auto is lame....well, about as lame as auto cars in the first place.

lol dude come drive a 5 speed in la and see how long til you get tired of it.

and my question was how strong is the auto tranny, less or more than the 5 speed? they were both built for a 100hp engine so whats your point in that?

id appreciate someone actually answering some of my questions. thanks guys

The install is not really that hard. The kit will include all the piping, bolts, nuts, clamps, etc. I would imagine the install would be an all day affair in the garage, but you might split it up over a weekend.

We put the turbo on from the bottom/side of the car, by removing the passeneger side wheel and sliding the axle out.. Which sounds worse than it might be.

Wiring is ~12 wires, only one of which has to be cut. The rest are splices.

If the automatic stayed the same between the xB and the Yaris, I wouldn't expect any problems. We've installed about 5 xB kits on autos and they run great. You can install a tranny cooler for added safety, and we'll be releasing a valve body upgrade in the next couple weeks. An upgraded torque converter is also a real reality, if we get enough interest.

To the person who suggested a no-turbo kit, the evo has a different flange than a typical mitsu. The cost difference between a kit with no turbo and a regular kit would be about $400.
