All the more reason to keep complaining to them, honestly. If it's so unusual, then you'd think something would definitely be done, right?

After all your experiences, I'm really reconsidering doing any forced induction. Ever. :[

hence why i said... dont ever do it. haha

You said not to kill the reliability so soon after getting the car, didn't you?

He's going to convince everyone that's thinking about getting a Scion, NOT to get one!

But it isn't working on me. :D

i dont think it'd be as much of a showstopper as a plainly taped pulley... thats like HIN stuff right there.

Hahaha that's why Hieu's idea is just too much effort. ;P

You should totally do it. Except somehow I feel the high temp duct tape will melt right off Phil's turbo...
