Have u Heard about Zage Turbo?

I was surfing the internet and found this site that has various turbo kits,turbo manifold and downpipes, yes including for yaris. Have u guys heard about this company. heres the link.http://www.zageturbo.com.


The prices are pretty good too. I send them an e-mail for the prices and they told me:
1)Turbo kit=$1600
2)turbo manifold=$150
3)Downpipe=$120

What do u think about the prices and the site.

It's going to be trial by fire. Nobody trusts it because of the poor quality of the turbos. Try it and see if they give out its only 270 rather than 5k on a new block.

my new advice is to tell people to BUY IT, so we can all see what happens!

I personally don't think they could fuck up a manifold and downpipe too badly. I personally would buy those 2 parts and then get a good quality turbo and piece it together from there.

The worst case is that the turbo will go bad... that could happen in 1 month or 1 year. Enough time for you save for a replacement/upgraded turbo...

Go for it....

i would love a turbo kit, do the turbo being crammed in the back of the yaris cause a problem with heat?

My yaris has a 140 mile total commute daily...So a turbo is a something I dont want to play around with. If anybody actually uses and zage parts and/or combines them with another turbo then let me know cause blitz compressors are looking better and better.
