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!

I already use ZAGE turbo kit on my own Yaris 1,5L. they works great.
afew month ago in Indonesia yaris show off, 10 of them use Turbo kit & 5 of them by Zage Turbo kit, they works great on The right Hand! The most important is Piggy back tuning (dastek unichip type Q)+ extra injector .
some of my friend already use yaris- zage turbo kit for 1year (last november 2007) Top speed 205Km/h. (on A/T).

& my yaris reach 180Km/H easy!

no problem on water temp etc... they works great if you get right good mechanic..

my own yaris , zage turbo kit, extra injector, Piggy back dastek unichip type Q+ with turbo module , Gizzmo IBC, earl's oil cooler, boost controller, + turbo timer. I got 175HP,

Zage turbo kit works great on left hand drive, AT . (down pipe model plug & play on left hand drive, if right hand drive we must modify down pipe like mine)
