the thread itself has no bearing on what manufacturers think lmfao

so basically you think that because the OP wants to twin turbo a yaris and run the piping in the most confounded way, that'll prevent manufacturers from building turbo kits?

what's the REAL reason you never followed through?

there is alot of thought in this thread.

alot of good marketing points that a smart company could exploit.

concerns regarding weight (list the weight of your kit)
concerns for fitment (list exactly what needs to change)

I could go on and on, but if you don't see "this thread" as marketing gold you're obviously not reading into it (and the other HKS turbo kit thread).

your call if you want to help a community that obviously has a market for a properly setup turbo kit that doesn't cost 1/4 of the car (for the base kit, people have expressed they'd be willing to pay more if it came with more)

oh, well we shall see what happens. nothing we can do but wait for the people with the Means/Drive to build quality products.

What? A forum is the reason nobody wants to make parts?

That has to be the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. You haven't made it because either you don't have time, don't have resources, ran into problems, are worried about anyone actually buying the thing or you don't have the means. Don't go blaming us.

Careful how high you hold that nose in the air. It may start bleeding.

For a minute i thought i was on hondatech with all this drama...

We need a popcorn emoticon

A twin turbo (or sequential turbo setup) would really be for more show then go... I would personally prefer a supercharger and turbo combo with a supercharger that has an electronic clutch. But i can't justify spending the money on a setup with a supercharger that is only usefull to give that instant power down low while the turbo spools...

Twin turbo setup... very cool and unique. i am all about being unique...

But cost effective for your power returns... I would have to say NO.
