Turbo auto yaris top speed and 0-60

That was actually my radar detector, and then blowoff valve :)

When you hit the governer, you def know it... the car basically takes the throttle off, even though your still flooring it. I assumed I had found the top speed before, but that was just the car running out of power lol This was definitely the governer... and I'd say the top speed has yet to be defined, I bet it could hit whatever the tranny limits it to as it was just getting back into the peak power band.

~125 was pretty fun, it wasn't really unstable... but it definitely didn't feel planted all the way up there.

So the automatic tops at 125, but do we know what the 5spd tops at with Turbo?

TurboYaris?

Or at least do we know what an Xa Turbo tops at with 5spd.

The rims throw off the speedometer, 117 on the speedo is actually 125.

The end of 2nd is right around 70mph. Manually shifting out of first used to make quite a difference 0-60, it goes too fast now to time it out perfectly everytime though... it doesn't exactly shift exactly when i throw it to 2... 1st can be held to almost 40mph... pretty crazy... this is why I want to try a set of shorter tires.

I'll grab a set of 15's soon, along with the lightweight crank pulley... and, well, not alot more that can be done until some tranny work is performed.

I may look into a boost controller, I think up to maybe 9 psi would be safe if not used constantly... more than anything I'm curious as to how it would perform.
