VOTE! (Turbo vs. S/C) - Toyota Yaris Forums

RacerFreakXXX · 09-26-2009, 02:07 PM

From the research I've done Turbo is better hands down. In the long run turbo is cheaper and safer. The only issue with the Yaris is piping and you need to have the car dyno/street-tuned. Honestly if someone came out with a piping kit for the HKS or Greddy kit that would convert the kit from XBto Yaris people would buy it. I would definitely pay 1500 for a down pipe, intercooler, piping w/ bov, and a good intake. Then all you would have to do is buy a turbo kit for the XB for 2500-3000 and you are set.

However I have to agree with PETERPOOP on the supercharger being the best for the yaris as of now. Just because it would take a month of not having my Yaris to go turbo, where I could install a supercharger in a weekend.

Not to be a dick, but you kinda contradicted yourself in this statement. That's not cheap by any means! At most that is $4500! lol. Still need new exhaust setup, dyno/tuning time, etc...
