This is a very interesting post, I spent almost 3.5hrs to finish the whole thread.
What the total you spent so far? I wish I can build a nice and budget turbo like you did. Too bad it can't be happen until I buy-back my leasing Yaris (1 more Year from now) Hopefully you guys will have a perfect tuning with FIC by that time..... Last edited by victorddr; 01-09-2011 at 07:21 PM. |

My exhaust manafold CRACKED! Now I have a exhaust leak under the hood and I am being gassed when stopped at idle. It is worst when the engine is cold, and gets a little more quite when the exhaust is hot and expanded. I took pics after removing my 35$ turbo heat sheild. Heat sheild is now shredded, its only good for one use. Forgot cable to attach camera to puter. Garm I hope your listening, this is from your store. I will send a message to you soon.

Ok I just got a call back from Garm (Cali Yaris) at Micro Image. And he said he will warranty my manafold and cover shipping to return the cracked manafold. Thats A-one service in my book. I understand shit happens and parts break, but its much less of a hassel when the seller stands behind there product.

going out today, but you didn't answer my email yet: "Do you have the mani with the external wastegate flange?"
And an important question: Are you using anything to limit engine movement?

E mail answered. I do not have anything to control engine movement but I do have a mesh flex fitting on my downpipe to allow engine twist. I have been looking for somekind of brace or arm for the top of the motor to control twist but I haven't found anything. What are U using Garm? And lets see it on your web store soon.

Do you know anyone with a welder that could run a quick beed along some of the crack to seal it up for now?
I did that for a friend and got him through for a few months before he got a new manifold. Did it right on the car. |

Ya I might have to do that. I dont know if the new manafold will mount the turbo in the same place and same position. I dont want to deal with fabricating a new down pipe in the middle of winter.
