9 months, no problems whatsoever. Only issues I've heard about it is getting the belt at the right tension after installing it (happened to me, too). Not a biggie, the belt squeaks a little and you tighten it up!

NST made a similar version of this pulley back in the day, people have run them for tens of thousands of miles without any issues. The MI one is a bit better from a build point of view, so you should be good to go for the life of your Yaris.

Edit: What tk-421 said!

90k miles, improved engine response, less gear hunting in the automatic when climbing hills, improved MPG and ZERO issues. I'm using the nst version and can say without a doubt a very worthwhile and noticeable modification. Laws of physics apply here, less rotational mass!
