Haha I was literally just about to edit my post asking how much you spent so far.

Was wondering though - how much is the custom work (such as piping) costing you? Or is your buddy doing it free of charge?

Power to ya man. I'm hoping between the two of us we'll help shed some (additional) light on turboing this car successfully. I can't even begin to tell you how much I get laughed at when I tell people what I'm doing to a YARIS.

Granted, those are the naysayers that think a turbo on this car is only going to put out 10 hp at .5 bar.

I kinda wanna learn tuning too, but that's one thing I just don't feel comfortable doing currently. The other way I see it is that an AEM wideband is easily $200, and with that money you're already half way done covering your tuning costs.

Once again, good luck to you.
