I NEED Boost... Opinions puh-lease - Toyota Yaris Forums

Here's day one of the install. I got stuck A LOT... but only because I lacked the necessary tools. Hoping tomorrow will be slightly more productive.

Engine Before Pics

Pics of everything being installed to the Turbo

Exhaust Manifold + o2 sensor

And now, here's two reasons I believe Zage has been known for exploding turbos.

Basically, the above bolt goes into the oil feed spot on the turbo, and the bolt in the second picture has a loop on the end that goes around the first bolt. They both have little holes drilled in them that allow the oil through (sorry no pictures, wish I had). I personally think it's a crummy design and could very well be problematic. The only plus is that the feed adapter can be adjusted slightly, but what for? A simple elbow would have sufficed...

Here's my current snag. I have everything attached to the turbo, such that I can mount it up to the engine block and then run the lines to the appropriate places. However, and I dare say, this may be where the alleged "fitment issue" comes into play. There's no way in hell I can fit this thing in (and don't say take everything off because the difference will be minimal). I removed the fuel hose, and thought I could move the AC lines. A ton of air/gas spewed out and I couldn't stop it by rebolting it. COULD ANYONE CLARIFY WHAT THIS WAS? I believe it was just compressed air, but I know little regarding AC lines. Basically, once it's in it won't be a problem. But the AC lines are REALLY in the way currently.
