#1 Snow SUCKS, its the reason all my ---- is rusted out, well its not snow so much as the salt they use on the roads.
BTW my wife is from Brisbane
I would have liked to put th IC behine the bumper but there really is no room there becasue the inlet and outlet are on the one side on the back. Oh well I think it looks ok where it is. But yeah, im going to have to be cautious with parking curbs, and well, anything much bigger than a pop can.
As far as the laws on turboing cars... I dont know, its probably illegal because Ive removed all the emissions stuff, but im not too worried about it really, Il just put a fake cat on it and the turbo is legaly the muffler.

I had an accident with the fmic behind the bumper support, but still got a tailpipe through the fmic 
Laws here are basicly 'keep emissions clean", except for certain areas. California only allows approved parts to be bolted on, and emissions standards are almost impossible to meet. IIRC, laws in Canada suck ***** too. In my state you just write on the regristration form that its kept in a certain county, as some counties here don't require any testing.
For your wideband o2 sensor controller, its probably the cheap one that VW's use (lsu or something). You have to check, because usually only 1 sensor is compatable with a particular WB controller. Other than that, the yota looks like it will be fun
