DESCENDANT Ver1.0 Turbo kits will be Toyota friendly and are currently CARB Pant. Pending in CA.
DESCENDANT Ver2.0 Turbo Kits are not CARB approved.

I have an Injen Cold Air Intake, would I be able to use it with this turbo kit? Also can I buy it from the scion dealership and have them install it?

Extremely unlikely for both unfortunately.

Nice job on the kit again to all at Descendant and especially Rob for putting up with all of us idiots lol.

10psi w/ 2.5" exhaust is in the 310 / 320 whp!
12psi w/ 3" exhaust is constantly putting out between 335 & 350 whp!

Can't wait to turn it up with a fuel system & stand alone!

BEFORE: This is where the MAF sensor is about 1/2-3/4 of an inch out of the center of air flow.


AFTER: Using OEM airbox with K&N Filter.

I know we sent an FIC down to you guys but I just wanted to ask...are you using it or the Uni-Chip that you in your car? I want to say you told me it was for your car but just curious.

No, it's an 07 so no Uni-Chip here. The old F/IC's internal MAP sensor took a dump. Thanks for the prompt and good deal on that by the way

are those things absolutely necessary so it would be worth buying the bolt and go?

yea pretty much, if you dont get it now, youll have to get it later. i would search the boost forum for a while before jumping into something and destroying your motor. I, myself am saving to get the full kit
