i just install it... and i dont feel any vibration on idle...

a question here... i heard from somebody that when you finish the installation you need to adjust it for get it more rigid??

That would defeat the purpose of the torque damper. If you reduce vibration
you also are allowing the engine to rock. So why even install one?

There is an adjustment point where vibrations are low but the damper does its job. I like it a little tighter than that, it's more important to me that the engine doesn't move at all.

Any recomendations for a good / affordable engine damper?? Just the damper I mean. I guess it would have to be a Universal one.

The engine mounts on the 1.8L Yaris don't line up with the 1.5L mounts so I would have to custom fab the brackets...

Ingalls sells their "Stiffy" damper as a separate part. It's really nice, I have one on my tC.

Looking at it. Seems really good.

Added to my list. (I'm already done with my Mods budget for the month

)
