Pff on turbo - Toyota Yaris Forums

Tamago · 09-23-2009, 11:24 AM

$1500 for 15hp is not very smart IMO.. and yes, anyone on this site who spent their hard earned money (guessing it's earned anyway) on n/a mods for the purpose of "more power" should have spent that money on better tires, suspension, or something altogether different.

or nitrous.

it's a 1.5L econo engine that's over-square, has an offset crank, and simply awful ECU, (designed for economy). all that money you'll spend and you'll get beat by your grandmother's corolla.

don't forget guys, i own the same engine, i'm not attacking the car. i'm just saying, spend your money on stuff that matters!

edit: i am aware that most car enthusiasts mod simply for the sake of modding. that's fine, just don't do ALL THAT for your yaris in the name of "more power"
