Thank you very much I will take a look at the link!

Its a shame there are no bolt on kits available, at the end of the day, a turbo is a turbo! It shouldn't be that hard so why have none of the manufacturers made anything yet? They're missing out! Same for superchargers!

Thanks for the information buddy !

I agree with you... a turbo is no rocket science.

The problem I see is that the people who bought a Yaris did it mainly because of the fuel economy. There are some that put some money on normal bolt on performance parts such as CAI's, headers, exhaust.... etc

But when it comes the time to pay $$$ for a quality turbo kit... there aren't that many.

I have concidered a custom turbo set up, but as been discussed many times here... the tuning of these new Toyota ECU's is really tricky. Some people had been able to tune a Yaris but other have failed.

Since our engine was also released on the US this year on the Scion xD, the new 2009 Corolla and the New Matrix, I'm waiting to see if any options comes available for any of those cars.

Wouldn't someone have done a super or turbocharged 1ZZ-GE on a Celica or a Corolla?

EDIT: TTE seems to have done a supercharger for the Corolla TS.

Yeap, plenty of support for the old corolla TS. Including turbo kits and superchargers.

But our engine is not a 1zz nor a 2zz. Is the New 2ZR which is very different to the old zz engines.

Nice looking. is that the TWM kit?


I used to have that one on my old Yaris.

The lower stick looks really nice altough in my case it was not very confortable because I needed to reach my arm too much to make shift.

jeah, it´s the TMW kit. and yes it´s very low. But i hate the high look of the orig. shifter...... looks like in a rallyecar....

It´s a little bit harder to shift, but the way to shift is also very shorter. stupid lever principle..... ;)

Now, for the Trc Off trick... Yes this car has no Trc off bottom so I just removed the TRC/VSC fuse out. It takes 5 seconds after you find it on the fuse box.

IMPORTANT...!!! By removing this fuse you will loose not only the Trc Control and the VSC but also the ABS.
I would not recommend this to anyone unless you are in a control environment ( Road Track) since the behavior of the car under extreme conditions will change.

By removing the fuse I was able to launch the car at higher rpm's and slip the tires a little bit without the car pushing the brakes by itself or cutting the power.

To put the car back to normal, just turn off the car, install the fuse back and re-start the engine. All functions should be back.

I'm currently looking for a way to install a switch within the cabin to disable these functions.
my car has neither traction control nor abs, it's all skill (angels & luck ;D)
