I NEED Boost... Opinions puh-lease

As for additional equipment to run with this turbocharger setup, I'll be swapping in 1ZZ injectors.

Do you have auto trans? If you don't, you definitely don't need this.

water cool the turbo!! It's two lines, and you will be glad you did.

I do have an automatic. Regarding fluid temperature, I'm going to get the gauge installed and monitor temps during normal driving conditions. I think I'm going to grab a transmission fluid cooler regardless though. I need to find a place to mount one first.

And I am planning on water cooling the turbo, but I may not right away. If I can figure out how to set it up while I'm doing the initial install then I definitely will.

Also - THANK YOU for the oil tap pics.
I'd rather turn that Zage oil pan into a cereal bowl before putting that thing on my car.

Ahhh you guys say it like you drill into the block itself. That looks like the upper oil pan instead.

You are not going to be pushing crazy boost or hauling hard loads, if the tranny is going to blow under stress it will blow regardless. Burning up the bands are from the it staying in the shift for too long or something getting glazed over or whatnots, you would have to check it, but hey any transmission cooler is better than no tranny cooler on EVERY car.

Do it right the first time.... the water lines are easier to run than the oil lines themselves. If you are using the ZAGE kit, it may come oil cooled only anyways and thats all it will ever be, no way to change that unless you change turbos.

If the oil pan comes with your kit, i may be willing to buy it from you if the yaris is still around at the time.

I get the feeling the transmission will be fine, but adding a cooler can only help. Plus, they're pretty cheap.

I'm pretty sure I read the Zage turbo can be water cooled, but I may have that mixed up with another turbo... I'll double check.

EDIT:
Can't find anything on it now...

I was wondering though, should I use higher octane fuel when I get this up and running? I understand the significance here, but would it actually be safer to retain the OEM suggested octane rating?

When turbo always use teh super grades. So most likely 93 in Jersey.. Turbo setups are more prone to detonation especially when you do not remove timing from the stock maps.
