Do I REGRET Putting A Turbo On My Corolla???

[@wyattfitzgerald8688]

I appreciate genuine honesty. Thank you Few few KZbinrs ever admit the issues with there builds.

[@BrandonStellmach]

There is always a side not many people discuss! Everyone makes it seem like it’s super easy with no problems. But realistically they have those problems but never show them or talks about them!

[@jimsgaragetoys]

Brandon, you've experienced many things that I've tried to warn people about but I've not had any issues with my turbo Corolla as you have. The #1 thing I tell people is don't over boost it, don't chase power since the rest of the car can't handle the power and parts will break. I'm running 8.5psi of boost and it gives me 230bhp and the car is plenty of fun with that much power. It also keeps everything else operating reliably without issues. In fact, I'm still on my OEM clutch as I choose to not abuse it from a stop. I don't care about 0-60 times and I wait for it to hook up and then I get on it and the factory clutch has held strong. When it's time to replace it I'll get a stage 1 clutch so I don't stress the rest of the system. Mine shifts like butter but I bought mine new so I've taken care of it, hard to know when you get a used one. Hopefully replacing the engine mounts will help but that is a part that wears out with time and use. I've done a lot of suspension and chassis work to my turbo Corolla and taken it on drives with my GR Corolla group. I was able to keep up with them but I had to work harder to do it so you can make your Corolla even more fun to drive. And sound deadening helps a lot, I did that soon after I bought mine new, doors, trunk lid, entire trunk, under the rear seat, under the hood, and then added a under hood insulator. I'm glad to see that that you aren't giving up, just dial things back on the tune so other parts can handle things better. 😉 I absolutely love driving my 2009 Corolla Turbo S 5MT! I driving it 4.5 hours to the souther OR Coast this Sunday for a car meet with a large group of us so that should be fun! Feel free to reach out to me if you need some help or have any questions. I'm going on 8 years since I turbocharged mine!

[@eduardoarcos5210]

I have a question man. I have a 2010 automatic Toyota Corolla S and can I put a performance chip on it?

[@Owensti]

@eduardoarcos5210 any performance chips are a scam. They don’t do shit, Just sell your car and get a performance car it’s easier man.

[@eduardoarcos5210]

@@Owensti hahaha I wish it was easy even buying a car bro in this economy everything is hard to fucking buy😅got my 2010 Corolla and i for sure want a better car but I only have abt 4-5k saved up for a car at the moment and my Corolla would only sell for abt 5k not even to be honest

[@jimsgaragetoys]

@@Owensti I don't necessarily agree with this though as anyone can do that. I love having g a 2009 Corolla Turbo S 5MT that is very different from what anyone can go buy and I built it. I took a solid car that was very reliable with excellent build quality and improved on it in every way while keeping the reliability. I get a lot of attention at car meets on what I built.

[@TOYOTAAURISRS]

⁠how many years have you had it

[@aldeneinhorn]

I’ve been watching your videos since you got the first corolla. I own the same gen and have done many similar mods mostly based on your videos. Thank you for making such detailed videos, love the content

[@BrandonStellmach]

That’s awesome! Love to see others with the same corolla! But I appreciate you watching for a long time!

[@jimsgaragetoys]

You should join Brandon and I and turbocharge your 10th Gen Corolla! I've had a lot of others turbocharge their 10th Gen Corolla like Brandon did because they saw mine. Join the growing club of 10th Gen Corolla Turbos! 😍

[@three11phil]

Glad you're not giving up on the Corolla. She's gotta race my Yaris when she's all done 😉

[@BrandonStellmach]

That is definitely something we have to make happen! 😉 just give me a little more time!

[@FlyBoyZJ1]

Been following for a few years now, i also have a 10th gen and have been watching you wrench on your cars, actually inspired some modifications in my own ride. I decided to keep the drivetrain stock and instead got into motorcycles to satiate my performance itch Love the bike for sporting performance and i love the corolla for its comfort and utility- keeping it as my reliable daily, have had it since less than 100k miles and my hope is to get it over 300k with aspriations to push 1mil since i keep up on the maintenance :) Best of luck with your build! I look forward to future updates

[@sardarasif1858]

Exactly what I intend on doing with my 12 gen SE and just get a bike for more smile per mile.

[@BrandonStellmach]

I appreciate you following the videos! Totally understand keeping the drivetrain stock on these cars! Will last a life time if it is taken care of! I don’t ride motorcycles, or modify them. But I would imagine they might be slightly cheaper than a car? But I would imagine they are a blast to drive!

[@Pallidus_Rider]

I've enjoyed every video - keep them coming. 👍

[@BrandonStellmach]

Thank you! I appreciate you watching and commenting on all the videos!

[@XxSlayerXxnuffin]

Brandon I would regret putting a turbo on my Corolla if I knew lightning would strike it.

[@BrandonStellmach]

😂 I would too! Next time I will have to take that into consideration!

[@grcorollace]

Chances to get struck by lightning ⚡️ in your car while driving 1: 134,000.000.000.0000.0000 (you have more chances to hit the Powerball and the mega millions at the same time) Brandon : “Hold my Beer”

I think I’ve seen u drive that thing around before I recognize all these roads, over here goin down Malabar😭

[@BrandonStellmach]

That’s awesome! That is where I drive often!

[@LesWiles]

Im not going to lie, I remember you first putting on that turbo on the OG corolla (rip) and thought 'thats a lot of cheese for a turbo'. Im thinking this dude must be loaded to just be dropping money on these mods😂

[@BrandonStellmach]

😂 I wish I was loaded! Luckily KZbin can support my obsession with cars! Without you guys supporting me I wouldn’t be able to do the things I do! Again, I appreciate you guys a lot for watching!

[@djvegatkify]

Hi, I'm trying to put my 2015 Corolla into service, but I'd like to check the oil pressure, how did you do it? Thanks from Costa Rica.

[@BrandonStellmach]

These car do not have any way to check the oil pressure. If you have a good enough scan tool, you should be able to find that setting that will show the current oil pressure.

[@2i741]

whats that stick thing youre moving whilst driving? wouldnt that put it in reverse or neutral

[@jacksonjudd7818]

You can’t be serious 😂

[@BrandonStellmach]

🤣It is a 5 speed manual transmission!

[@venomdonut6905]

Please tell me you're not joking because if you're serious... this is the greatest day of my life.

[@XcZuNiTy]

He’s trolling you idiots, he’s saying that because most of these idiotic kids nowadays have no idea what a stick shift is.

[@arctictruck10]

Should sell it and put the money in the GRC that toyota built from factory.

[@jaredhernandez2313]

nah, gotta be different.

[@BrandonStellmach]

The GRC is a great car! I want to enjoy it is as mostly stock as possible before I do anything crazy to it! But also don’t think I could sell the Silver corolla for no where near what I have put into it! So it’s going to be a keeper unless I really need the money!

[@arctictruck10]

@@BrandonStellmach Cars are not good to get money back that you put into it unless you find a special buyer with money to burn.

[@arctictruck10]

@@BrandonStellmach just announced that the GRC is coming in an automatic this winter

[@BrandonStellmach]

Completely agree about the money in the car. Have to find that one buyer that loves everything you did to the car! But I just saw the announcements on Instagram! Just posted about it, @justa_yota
