I cringe at spending $3,000 on a turbo kit for a 1NZ-FE since it's nearly a quarter of the price of the entire car.

Reality... We don't NEED a Turbo that can put out 20PSI... Our engines can not take more then 7PSI... With anything less then 10PSI you don't even need an Intercooler!

So if someone came out with a Turbo Kit that only made 5-6PSI... No Intercooler, No Frills Turbo kit... threw a $1,500-$2,000 price tag on it... I guarantee they wouldn't be able to keep the kits on the Shelves

After all… THE YARIS IS THE 2ND CHEAPEST NEW CAR IN AMERICA…

+1 - I wouldnt mind a non intercooled kit for 1500 bucks - you could always add something later on if you wanted too - like some of the greddy kits come based as non intercooled and you can upgrade later if you want...
