Um yeah, sorry Im not that baller.... Yet
I could knock this install out in the estimated time no worries if this kit is really a-z complete . Im a pretty good wrench and since I sold all my project cars(e30 track car, drag dsm, 450+hp daily 1g eclipse) I've really been fiending for boost/ a "big" install of some kind . All you guys are really tempting me to get this kit, STOP IT !

return it! they'll get cheaper anyways, whereas the kit will probably not budge on the price for a while

Boost is good. Next meet, we could take side by side pictures or your PE kit next to my Blitz kit. Might frustrate the turbo loving crowd, however.

If you need a test car to prove to these people that this supercharger works, let me know - I am in Irvine.

I have no doubts that the supercharger works, these Rotrex units are pretty badass, like a perfect balance of turbo boost with blower responsiveness. It's just the experiences of the early adopters which put a damper on things, really. So yes, please, let's see what it can do now

I'd take one if it was offered. The positive impact it would create is more than worth the price of a kit. The full write up and documentation I could provide I would probably sell at least 5 kits very quickly between the Yaris and Xa communities. Word of mouth and documented personal experience is the type of marketing needed for an expensive product like this geard toward the ultracompact segment.

+1. At the moment, if someone had this kit on their car successfully and for a period of time, I would buy it in a heartbeat. Tax return time.

Otherwise, I'm not risking my daily driver and $4,000 to be the guinea pig for a company who won't test their products.

I still do not understand why you guys keep insisting that this product has never been tested.... it has been in the Japan and European markets for well over a year....ya you can give me all the grief you want that its not tested here in the US. Well, no one is getting any free kits ONE, TWO if you are in Irvine (largeorangefont) and want the kit I can help you with the install....

Please stop complaining....if the kit is out of your budget please move on...thank you for looking...

You must see what people want here. If you don't understand it, I can't understand why you would sell it. Warrenty aside, the USDM yaris differs from others in some ways and what they are looking for is for you to say and show that this kit will pose no problem and be a direct bolt on kit. I have yet to see you make that statement. If I'm wrong, I'll go over the entire post in a minute here and check just to make sure.
