Turbo kits!! - Toyota Yaris Forums

FYI

That turbo kit does not actually exists!

Turbo Toyotas is not producing it any more. Sure if you contact them they will tell you they'll get you one. After a 6-12 month wait.

I don't think the ZAGE turbo kit is shi**t like others have said. Is just a budget kit. You have to take it for what it is. It probably won't last long if you are planning to abuse it.

On the other hand we have reports of a lot of people using the kit in other countries with no major problems reported.

Sure, you can not compare a Taiwan made turbo charger against a Garret unit and it probbaly won't last as long as a Garret but you get what you pay for.
If you end up blowing the seals of the turbo aster only one year... then you can go and have it replaced with a high end unit.

What else could go wrong with this kit? A crack on the manifold? Unlikely since is a cast iron piece.

I say go for it! How bad could it be!
