LOL, you don't... but anyway... my project will probably include porting and polishing and a standalone, probably AEM.

For awhile I thought about just giving in and ordering - and everytime I get the itch, i read some post about how someone ordered something and waited weeks and never heard back or cant get any straight answers.Maybe a name brand kit with better customer service backing it up will show up eventually.

Exactly what I am hoping for. I don't want to order a kit for another vehicle and have to fool around with custom made bits n pieces. I want a solid product from a single distributor who will back it up...

I'm more then willing to pay for it too... $3k is very affordable imo.

So your saying that you dont want to turbo or supercharge your Yaris - because that if it becomes available with a higher HP motor in the next year, you'd rather get that? I think I'd rather get an aftermarket kit...

To me - the car is an 07, I dont think they are going to add a whole new engine option within a single year of release - i can see them doing that when they change the body style a few years down the line - like they did with the xb which got a hp increase with the TC motor. But what will the yaris have a bigger motor with 140hp?

I'd rather Turbo the yaris now, get more than 140 right now out of it rather than hope for a new engine option in the future - especially since if they do come out with a new packaged yaris - i'm def. not trading mine in for it - if this car gets traded in - its not going to be for another yaris...

Yeah - by 09 - I probably wont be driving a yaris anymore. And if i still have it - i'd rather have it paid off with a turbo kit - that have it with a 140 or so hp xd motor in it - So heres hoping some companies get cracking on that R&D

^ do some research on that 130 horse motor. it seems to like being turbo-charged to the tune of around 160-170 horses.....

yeah - except, by 09 - my yaris will be paid off and i can just pick up a turbo kit and be done - and probably put out similar numbers..even zpi is doing it.
Or I can start from scratch - maybe trade this yaris in for the brand new 09 that will make similar numbers but will now have a voided warranty and sink me further in debt...to each his own on this situation

Plus - you may have patience, but I dont like to wait - i want something right now, not in 09..I've already gone through 2 sets of wheels and i'm thinking about a different set already cause i get bored easy - I doubt i'd want to continue driving the same car for so many years..then trade it in for another

getting a little off track boys :)

I bought this car and don't plan to upgrade for a newer one in two years.. even if they come out with a faster, better model.

I'd rather turbo/supercharge this one and keep it as long as I can :)

Anyone knows differences between the Blitz and the Greddy SC's? Numbers anyone? If the Blitz xB retrofit wasn't that hard... a Greddy xB retrofit shouldn't be either, right?

POssible retrofits:

At $2400 with the e-manage included doesn't look that bad...
http://www.intensepower.com/gredtfturkit.html

The Blitz xb $3,100
http://www.intensepower.com/blsukitxaxb.html

and the PE xB ( heard good things about this one) $3,100
http://www.intensepower.com/poensukitxb.html

I believe that the Blitz S/C kit also comes with a switch where u can turn it into High boost mode/ low boost mode / off mode? where as Greddy don't offer that. Can someone verify this with me??
