Guy... the Yaris has a 10.5:1 compression ratio. Stock. And the rods a built like toothpicks.

I'm not sure you can compare a factory-turboed engine made for a performance(ish) car with an engine built to be light and for fuel economy. Apples and oranges.

I think the thing to remember here is ZPI didn't reinvent the wheel for the yaris... this has already been reliably done on XB's, both auto and manual.

I'm sure it shortens the life of the motor, but we are talkin a motor that would run until eternity :)
