1.5L Power Enterprise supercharger kit (complete) - Toyota Yaris Forums

I'd also really like to know the effect that it would have on engine life. But that is more of a general question. As in, how long does a turbo engine last, compared to basically the same NA engine? Same for a supercharger. One would assume that it would have to be at least somewhat reduced. Maybe a supercharged yaris would go to 300k miles before it needed to be overhauled, but the NA one would have gone to 450-500k. Before piston rings were worn out or some other major repair was needed.

Cause on a Yaris, the idea of the car was to last long, be cheap, and get good gas mileage. If your mustang or camaro's engine life was shortened by a power adder, well so be it. That was always its function anyway, to be a toy. But a Yaris has a different purpose in life, and I'm generally against going against a vehicle's purpose. Unless there is no harm done in the process.
