Done! The mid-pipe is on the car! What a freaking nightmare that was.
1) I had to create a special tool from a pair of vice grips and a wrench to log the bottom spring bot nut while I tightened the top one.
2) I cut my arms up something feirce forcing my way to the bolt to hold it in place while I got the nuts on.
3) It took probably 20 attempts to get a nut on one of the bolts because the space I was working in was not fit for a squirrl to take a shit in.
But I got it on there! YES!!!!! Now on to the oil cooler!
It's alive! I took a video. I still need to wire up the O2 but atleast she still started in limp mode and the exhaust does not look like it is leaking! YES!

Sorry about all the broken links. I had to do some organizing of my photos and screwed up all the links. I'll start a new thread tomorrow with pictures and traction on my progress since I kind of Hi-Jacked this thread and I feel bad
who cares. 1zz's suck to turbo anyways. money pit. plus all the turbo kits for corollas come with like a t25. and those arent the best sized turbo's for more than like 9 psi lol
For an 8th gen? Well, there is some but the manifold for the 9th gens are made for 9th gen specifically where they have more room than even the 8th gens. Therefore, it would clear the firewall. 8th gen owners always get shafted.
and and the worse thing is the 9th gen is ugly as f***!! (in my opinion)
not only the turbos. same with the supercharges
