lol... love it, NO you don't technically need anything but the supercharger. However, those extra mods really do help.

I'm hoping to see how cheep I can build a hks turbo kit, want to keep price at $3400 w/o tune:

turbo kit $2600 + downpipe $100 + custom intercooler piping $300 + intercooler $400... my goal is just that... maybe I can find a good small intercooler for $200 and throw in injectors for $3400. Luckily I met some people at my job that know places that will do custom piping work (in upper westechter it is hard to find these things)

Here it is again (using your number for the HKS stuff, I have no clue where those came from):

blitz supercharger $3400 + + injectors $100 + crank pulley (the only one that matters) $110 = $3610.00. No tuning or management required.

xb hks turbo kit $2600 + intercooler $500 + piping $700 + injectors $150 + hks bov $300 + hks boost controller/ turbo timer $400+ EMS (Greddy or FIC) $400 + TUNING $500 = $5550.00

Plus, the second option requires access to a shop with a dyno and a competent tuner.

The HKS kit for the xB comes with a F-con mini.... Not sure how well that would work with the Yaris ECU

I don't think anyone really does. I'm not going to be running more than 7 or 8psi so tuning will come later.. My main concern is the downpipe... but that's not till next summer, gonna buy a diff and a clutch first (supporting mods that should be done)

downpipe wouldn't be that hard to make if someone knew what they were doing. It's really just a pipe with a couple of bends, flanges at the ends, and a bung or two for sensors.

its hard to say "best." With superchargers you usually get lower safer numbers and being that the supercharger is belt driven you get instant boost when you step on the pedal. Superchargers have that beautiful whine, and they make great daily drivers.

Turbos make POWER! You usually get some kind of turbo lag because they are not belt driven. You can drive under boost and not lose the gas mileage as well. I love the sound of a turbo and a BOV as well.

Its hard to say but i want a turbo kit so Ill vote that lol.

It was a great eight year run, but it was time to focus on other things. I'm still selling parts on eBay under micro*image seller ID and customers can still make requests for anything specific.
