Quick question, do Corolla or Matrix engine harnesses work for this swap or does it have to specifically be from an xD? Rollas and Matrix' are super easy to find in yards.

The Corolla and Matrix have the ECU on the driver's side, next to the battery and fuse box, the Yaris is on the passenger side. I'm pretty sure that Project Vios has a Corolla harness, but it had to be reworked pretty significantly to move the connector to the other side of the engine. I don't recall if there are pin incompatibilities on that harness but it's possible some wires have to be relocated in the connectors. The xD is direct fit, no faffing about. =)
