VOTE! (Turbo vs. S/C) - Toyota Yaris Forums

mikebdubsuby · 10-19-2009, 04:09 PM

I personally prefer turbo, I've driven in supercharged cars and turbo cars, my DD is a WRX swapped Impreza RS and I just feel like a turbo is more power efficient.

I'm new to the Yaris, me and my gf just bought ours like 2 weeks ago, but from what I've read there's more options for supercharging over turbocharging for this platform.

I also agree with the earlier posts about buying a faster car, a Yaris makes what like 120 hp? Not a really great starting point for a build. It's a nice, clean, economy car, I'd just keep it that way. Well that's my newb forced induction Yaris opinion. Maybe as I learn more it'll change.
