Going Boosted - Toyota Yaris Forums

First and most importantly, I'm glad you want to boost your car. I'd like to see a lot more boosted Yarii out there. After reading my comments you are welcome to PM, email or call me to talk about Yaris performance.

...that turbo kit is partly crap. the log mani is good, the downpipe doesn't fit (hits the subframe). The lines are all the wrong length.

5 of us have now failed to tune the car with the AEM Fi-C. So it's complete bullshit if they are telling you to tune the car with that. Ask for dynos, wiring diagrams and pictures of it installed in a car.

Sorry, just being real here -- I've been working on mine for many months and it's not done yet. Next phase will solve the issues, though.

If you want to tune it right. You need a full stand alone.

Which one? depends on your power goals and your tuner preference.

Usually a standalone will run from $900 up to thousands $$$

AEM, haltech, Motec, DTA... many more

... talking about Engine Management systems.

Has anyone thought about trying a Mega Squirt on a Yaris?
