I'm not familiar with the cars in egypt, so i'd listen to your buddy over there, and agree with you, kimo.

i think your best mod would be a swap.. it'll cost less than a turbo kit and will be more reliable.. how about the 1.8 from the Tsport?
The Yaris (at least the 1.5 and the 1.8) come with Denso Iridiums from factory. That why I said there is not much to gain by changing the plugs.

I will probably make some mad with this comment, but if you are wanting to race and go fast this is probably not the car for you. Don't get me wrong I love driving the Yaris it is a really nice fuel efficent car and fun to drive, but from a dead stop there are a few large displacement Mo-Peds that would probably take it.

I have put in pulse plugs in my yaris and they definately helped with torque and hp, they did take 800-1000 miles for the computer to adjust...one did fail prematurely<apparently the insulator for the capicator was too thin>..and i put the orig plugs back in until i got another replacement under warranty<5oK>
and could tell the decrease in power...they are re-installed again...who ever says their isnt a difference in spark plugs is wrong...even if i have to replace them again..theyre still worth it..i also put in a AEM cold-air intake that has helped with upper Rpm passing power...using 91 octane has also helped<higher retards timing> good luck

The car manual says 92 hp ? ...i dunno how come , but honestly i think its power is under-rated and more powerful than some 1.6s at high revs like opel corsa 1.6 and golf 1.6
