Yeah, they've done some work on my Mazda. I've always been impressed with their work, and it seems like they run an altogether good shop.

tamago, you've proven to have quite a bit of performance knowledge = probably easier for you to do it yourself (and deal with whatever problems arise) than most, including me.

If you are considering small turbos, the 14 b (mentioned on the first page) is a good little unit. You can pick up tons of them for a song over at dsm.org. It would reach full boost (I had 19 psi) at roughly 3200 rpm (it was a 2.0L motor).
I used to have a 92 AWD Talon on the original 14b. Fastest time was 13.99 at the track with moderate duration cams (264 degrees), 550cc injectors, Walbro 190lph pump. On a FWD Yaris, which is about 1000lbs lighter, you could easily have a 12 second car if everything else runs correctly. Good luck with your project! Cheers Carvin'

Unless your wife is EXTREMELY understanding of what a non-factory layer of complexity may do to her (i.e. leave her stranded on the side of the highway), I would absolutely AVOID a boost project - unless of course, she has her own vehicle.
