The Turboed Life

Oh yeah...just curious...have you thought about picking up that radiator paint in black or else actually picking up a black IC to have a more stealth look? The silver really sticks out more than I would have expected on a silver car.

How is everything running now? 32 months sounds like you've got it all chimed in.

At this point, it's as chimed in as it will ever be. I think I had everything running pretty smoothly within the first few months. I even have fuel maps for every season at this point. The problem is, anything can go wrong when you modify an engine so heavily, and it will... Many times over. Trust me.

Where did you get that gauge pod?

I bought it from a member on here that used (I believe) the same fabricator fnkngrv used for his gauge pod. I'll dig through my past posts and see who I even purchased it from lol.

Edit: It was "camelll"

Nice thread bud. I really have gone back and forth myself on how far I will go with the car. I know that I still need to install my body kit, repaint the whole car, and install the custom fogs to go with it aesthetically. As for performance, well that for me is still open ended due to my goals. I think that I will honestly be able to say that I will have a journey still that noone else will embark on which is cool, yet at the same time be a pain because it will be a long time until I am at the humble satisfaction point that you are at.


Other than that ...what a shitty place to have a crease in the body...right there near the natural one from the factory...I have one too, but not as bad as yours. :(

Thanks Adrian. I can definitely understand it being difficult to pinpoint your performance goals lol. If I hadn't bought the tC, I'd undoubtedly be craving more power out of the Yaris. I'm very content with my cars, and hope to start a huge build of my own within a few years, but don't mind the wait.

And yeah, the crease - I died a little bit inside that day.

I've actually tried to shift to a more sleeper type look recently, but honestly, I really like the conspicuous intercooler. People need to know they're staring at a turbocharged Yaris

I feel your pain brother...I die a little more each time I have to look at the one I have.
