All those crappy "Windows 7 was MY idea" commercials for one...
In all actuality, I have nothing against Windows, I just know Mac and have been using them for years. I have attempted to use a Dell a few times. Just do not like it. The Windows piggyback software I could get is very limited and my suspicion is that it would be way more of a hassle than what I am looking to deal with every time I want to start my car.

I see that you have a SC'd Yaris!
How is the engine holding up? I have read a couple of articles that have said the rods are too thin to last for long. My current race car is an '87 930. I have spent about 5yrs working on it and an entire re-enlistment bonus. I have a pretty good working knowledge of TC and transmission work. At the same time though, the only cars I have been working on have been Porsche's. This Yaris is going to be my first non Porsche project. All my buddies think I am crazy until I show them youtube videos of Mustangs getting spanked! Anyway, back to my original point, how is your Yaris holding up to the additional hp?

Well I never put that many miles on it. I haven't driven it in over a year now. But the 1NZ-FE has no problem handling the Blitz supercharger. It only has 117whp now. Up from 90. Deff nothing strong enough to break a connecting rod or any other internals.
You want to talk with Cali Yaris, Garm - http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/fun...garage&id=3753. He's got his turbo'd one up to 357whp now? There are a few other turbo'd Yaris owners here who can tell you what to look out for with what you're talking about.
