$2k budget: Turbo possible?

[cali yaris]

sure why not. I ran 8psi unmanaged for several months, Tamago ran his unmanaged. We are talking about 6psi -- you might have to monkey with injectors and such, but I think it's doable.

What we DON'T have is a tested kit with the parts I said you need and some road time to prove my theory.

Garrett GT2554R turbo, internal wastegate at 6psi
cast log manifold (see turbotoyotas.com for that)
lines
piping
BOV
1ZZ injectors (maybe)

optional, but recommended: gauges (oil pressure, air/fuel, boost/vac)

bam!

So say a guy wanted to go the stage 0 with a IC 'bout what kinda power we talk there? I mite have to look into this

I could be wrong but I think Tamago always had some form of engine management while he was turbo'd.

not all of them were good, but he had something.
