Ummm....

Yeah... well my penis is bigger then yours!



Sorry... I had to take it there... it’s probably not…But You stumped me...

I'm still trying to learn all this shit...and to be honest, it's the real reason I bought a Yaris... Now-a-days it seems (To me anyway) most cars are getting more and more complicated to work on... So I needed to start at the bottom! And one thing I have learned so far... Is that this Bottom... is on the top of my list of cars I have owned!

1990 Volvo 740GL
1991 Nissan Sentra
1992 Toyota Corolla
2001 Hyundai Sonata
2000 Nissan Maxima

Alright...maybe not the most impressive list... But I love my 2007 Yaris more then that 2000 Maxima!

I was just messing with ya anyway. Everyone has to start somewhere. I highly recommend picking up the book Maximum Boost by Corky Bell. Great book for learning about turbos and will help if you want to try the DIY turbo thing too. (In case you get adventurous)

(Thermal expansion is the primary reason the hot side spins, most people mistakenly think it's primarily the exhaust just blowing through. )

I know...It's the internet... you can't anything seriously! Sometimes I'll say shit just to start an argument... I find it kinda fun...

Anyway...Thanks for the heads up... I will take a look for that book! And believe you me… I will be getting adventurous!

Don't expect anything over 15whp with the Camcon. From a tC they got 12whp.

If you buy a Camcon for your Yaris, you're insane.

Haha, no... no fun in sanity. However, somewhere in the back of my mind there is a conversation I had with some aftermarket company and they told me that the Camcon would do literally nothing for the Yaris. Its a placebo.

I wish I could remember who it was! STML!

From what I have heard, there isn't a lot to be gained with that...

With the Yaris and many new cars the ECU re-learns the adjustments. One way to stop the ECU from changing the tune is to un-hook the first O2 senor on the exhaust. This works on most vehicles including the Yaris. The only bad thing about this is that it creates a check engine light but the ECU will keep the tune. I had to do this on my buddies 04' civic and my old Mazda 3 Turbo. Works with the E-manage and the Apexi's.
