I sent an e-mail to Kareem at Descendant and to their general info email, but I am not expecting much. I doubt they can do much without seeing it in person. I plan on taking it to a performance shop here in Orlando on Tuesday and getting their opinion. If it's a bad turbo or a bad seal in the turbo, i'm going to be pretty upset.
But anyways, I had my camera today and decided to take a few quick pictures!
The light in the headlights are ONLY from the Halo's! Low beams, Parking Lights, etc are off.




I feel like I'm harming my car when I drive it
I need to get the smoke problem resolved ASAP!

They're in the correct spot on the turbo, it's just the center of the turbo is spun so the oil return is towards the top and the oil feed is towards the bottom
It's 1.4-Gs!
You've got to do this though... https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...9&postcount=18 it is well worth it!

Maybeeee I won the contest :D
And I was considering Dynomatting my car, but I was concerned about the weight! Does the added weight negatively affect much?

Quite a few updates!
First of all.. My turbo is no longer smoking! Flipped the Turbo housing and everything is working perfectly.
Secondly, Installed my OEM Audio+ System! .. and Woah!! I've never known too much about audio, but this system is beyond clear. I've sat in countless cars at shows and listened to their "awesome" systems, but this OEM Audio+ is easily as good if not better. With OEM Audio+ it's not all about being loud, it's about producing a clean clear sound. The speakers in the system are incredible. I'd almost go enough to say that they are unlike many other speakers I have ever heard. The bass is not ridiculously loud, but is without a doubt ridiculously clear and great sounding. For every genre, OEM Audio+ does not disappoint. It produces by FAR enough bass for heavier hip hop songs, all the way to clear acoustics for lighter instrumentals. I can't say enough about this system, except I wish I had considering acquiring it earlier!
Side note... remember when I said OEM Audio+ is not all about being loud? ... I still like volume ... it doesn't disappoint :D
OEM Audio+ Factory style Amp:

Stock rear speaker:

OEM Audio+ rear speaker: (As you can see, it adds a tweeter in the rear for a more full range effect)

OEM Audio+ door speakers:



All the space.. all the bass! Was afraid of losing the utility of my vehicle when I was going to add a system. I still have all my space, with a little boom boom!

On a different note, I went to Import Face-Off today and won Best Scion!


Oh and on a crappy note, did I mention someone stole my Carbon Fiber lip right off my car! I was parked in the parking garage at my school and I went to my car on Friday, and no more lip! When I get my new lip i'm going to rivet it to my bumper so nobody can steal it!
