Whatever kind of herb you are on that makes you believe this garbage, I want some please I want to meet the rocket scientists at zpi who came up with a 7psi kit that doubles the whp in our cars. Oh wait, their shop is a bigger drama than days of our lives and their products don't ship except for one or two every few months.

Most of what is written in this thread is garbage with the exception of a few things here and there. Come on people, comparing blitz to zpi? Yeah ok

I've been waiting for awhile for at least a couple of superchargers to hit the market so i have a choice, and dont have to pay an insane price cause its the only one out. I love the look and sound of a roots type supercharger like the blitz, and the fact that I dont have to run any of the piping or the intercooler like the turbo setup. But i'll look at comparable turbo kits when they are released by more reputable companies.

Piping is really easy to do and its not expensive at all. You can buy a universal kit for 100 and have the sections welded together for another 100. FMIC's are 250 and again, its very easy to mount it to the rad support.

If you bought just the manifold and starting piecing it together as you had money, it would go faster then you think. Can't piece together a S/C kit a lil at a time.....

I wont piece together a kit, I did that on my Rx7 way back when. I'm talking about just paying the moeny and getting a complete kit. With all the piping and everything - ready to go. I'm not worried about how expensive piping is - i'd rather just not have to run it everywhere. ie up into the bumper where the intercooler is / around from the back of the motor. But i'll look at a turbo kit, if a decent company comes out with a nice setup.

It'd be nice to find a setup that has been tested for probs, with the bugs worked out. It's intimidating to start experimenting with our daily rides

That is the kit being talked about in this thread - the one that above he was saying didnt run that great of a time and the guy blamed his wheel size and such. That is also the kit in the you tube video (also mentioned above).

Do a search on the forum for ZPI and you'll find plenty of info and stories about the company and that turbo kit.

N/A FTW.

Aren't you kinda defeating the purpose of the whole car, by boosting it in the first place?

Kinda silly.

Just go out and buy a fast weekend car, and leave the fuel economy to the Yaris.

Thank you.

Not sure if it will work for you but maybe have a look at the Rotrex superchargers. The C15 looks to be a good choice producing up to 200hp.

that rotrex doesnt work for our car...

The only reason why I would go s/c'd now is that its the only reliable source/manufacturer producing a bolt on forced induction system for the Yaris. Blitz shits all over ZPI, however if a manufacturer like HKS produced a turbo kit then the tables would turn.

Also custom turbo's or s/c require time and can become complicated, as with bolt on kits like the supercharger, even with minor modifications is well worth the $3 500.
