Any further thoughts on offering a Dezod / 365Motorwerks FMIC kit for those who already have the Greddy turbo? $900 for the Greddy FMIC is hard to swallow and I think I proved the hybrid setup will give better performance over all-Greddy.
If you need I could get in touch with Mandrel Bending Solutions to see about getting a CAD rendering of the hot side pipe, the only part that would need to change from the existing 365Motorwerks kit.

the update is: Failure. Obviously not many people are still turbo'ing their gen1 scion xb's. Hopefully they realize that its just a waste of money! And I was one who learned from experience. I spent thousands to turbo my xB, just to gain under 50hp, and still have a slow ___ car. I have since sold my scion, that I kept for over 3 years, it was fun, but If I learned anything, you cant polish a turd. Most of us 'modded' out cars, because lets face it, they kind of suck as they come from the factory. Sure the turbo xB was fun to drive, If you want a fast car, sell your xB. But the 365 kit does seem to be the best full kit out there, had problem with Greddy Oil line leaking once.

Wow, failure? I'd beg to differ. I think you're expectations may have been a little high there Hotbox. I for one love the fact that when I go up a hill, or have a heavy load, I no longer watch the tach rise to 3.5k RPM at 60 MPH. Instead, the boost needle just goes up and I stay happy driving instead of being bummed about an underpowered engine struggling to maintain highway speed. It's a $12k box on wheels, not a Supra, and the turbo makes a huge difference in driveability. It should have been factory like a VW.
Anyhow, the Greddy is off, though the intercooler was nice the little TF34 turbine was undersized. The rest of the 365 kit that I should have just bought all at once came in yesterday, and I have to say it really accents the christmas tree well. Forget diamonds, this year give the gift of boost.

Maybe you should look into a used 300ZX twinturbo or RX7 or something. Let us drive our boxes and like it

50hp is not going to win you any races against super high HP cars but it gets the box going like it should have from the factory, btw not all races are done in a straight line and there ia a funny thing called momentum out there
...fact is we mod our cars for many reasons..to give us something to do, show points, or to improve how the car reacts. The only failure I would see is thinking dropping in a turbo will transform the box into a RX-7 
As far as polishing a turd it can be done but it takes major commitment and cash...not something that everybody wants to do and understandably so..but there are a few odd cookies out there that will give it there best and I salute them!
Nice pic BTW! Vetter Rocks!

As with any turbo kit it will be only as good as the tune so a great tuner is the best thing to have in your corner for reliability.
