check the scion forums to see what kind of psi levels they are running on scion platforms considering they are the same motors, you guys can use some of their info

even if 12 psi was safe on the motor, i think we can all agree that half of that would be more than plenty for a sub 2500 lbs car.

6 pounds of boost on the tC's 2az-fe jumps the power from around 160 to around 200. 6 pounds of boost on the 1nz-fe would get you past 1zz-fe territory- above 130 hp, maybe 140?. 140+ hp and similar 130ft/lb on a yaris would be very nice- not groud-breaking, sti/evo-beating power-to-weight ratios, but very nice nonetheless.

edit: don't take the tC's analogy seriously- it's comparing apples to oranges.
