But from what we know of the 2 Yaris that came of the company, the kit runs fine. (Although about 3 months after 1 kit was put together, the car was totaled in an accident)

So before the company went belly up, they produced 2 working Yaris turbokits, which they claimed put down like 180ish whp.
If I could pull the tune from the emanage I'd love to post it up here for posterity :)

Hopefully whoever gets it does that, it would be a great addition to the community... I've read alot of the turbo threads and most everyone has tuning issues with a few exceptions... the limp mode/emanage route I'd say I proved to be absolutely reliable.. Kenny @ ZPI definitely knew what he was doing.

Staring at a CEL isn't so bad when listening to the turbo whistling you into your seat :)

Its basically sold, I'm just going to leave it to whoever actually puts down the dough first.

I'm just a little confused. Seems he flipped the rules of the game... now he is selling the kit and shipping it? If that were the case in the first place, I would have bought the damn kit! LOL. He originally said he wanted someone to swap parts off the car, which I was fine with. The hang up on this end of things was scheduling a weekend where we could have our tools in place, use someone's garage, and swap two Yarii's worth of induction parts. Not an easy task, and you have one chance to get it right. Now that the weather broke I was hoping to contact Mark and shoot for next weekend, but I guess that is over and done with. I still would buy it, but he wouldn't be shipping it to me. It would have to be an in-person deal.

I'll take this opportunity to remind everyone that if you send someone $800 and never get a turbo kit, it isn't YW's problem. I'd suggest making transactions like this in person.

If I get the kit and you don't post it up I will for sure share it with the rest of the yaris community

Wow, I'm glad one of my bros bought the kit, but I would have snatched it up if I wasn't gone this weekend and just came back to see this thread.

Thanks man, we're actually in the process of working something out. Apparently when he put it up before for $450 + stock parts it "was just to generate interest." Now it's $750 + stock parts, we'll see what happens...

lol this thread is getting ridiculous, how much really is it. I wanted to go plan T, but it will be more like a plan F if things don't swap over to fit the yaris, but Tamagos is good for what the boost is.

But i am trying to get a credit card right now to go with plan B. I think i'd rather a supercharger and even more so if NST comes out with a pulley solution
