TRD/Modellista Turbo Yaris

For the Tokyo Auto Salon, Modellista and TRD wanted to tap into that enthusiasm and teamed up to create the Modellista Concept. Based off the standard Yaris (or Vitz if you hail from the Land of the Rising Sun), the two in-house tuners strapped a turbo to the 1.5-liter engine to produce 150 HP and 144 lb.-ft. of torque.

Now what I want to know is why can't they throw the 1.8L motor from the Corolla in there? Probably get 50mpg too.
