Yoda's Turbo Log - Toyota Yaris Forums

Yoda: I would like to advise on some issues with the Zage kit:

1) The oil pan it comes with has the return bung in a very awkward position. It is positioned towards the front of the car. What happens here is that when your oil return line comes out from the turbo its route is straight down, which is what you want, but then you have to route it foward almost parallel to the ground, which is not good. A proper return line route should as strait as possible. I know this cause I have there pan on my car.

2) The AFM is mounted to the inlet of the turbo, which means is sucks through the AFM. I feel its better to blow through the AFM, just my opinion.

3) The routing of the I/C pipes is under the car. If your car is lowered you are going to have clearance issues.

Issues 2 & 3 are small, but issue 1 is a big deal. Im not trying to have you not buy their kit, Im just trying to make you aware & help you out.
