    Supercharger from Blitz puts down around 140WHP I believe and the (not yet released) turbo from ZPI Racing is around 180WHP according to their dyno. We got a kit being installed on a Sedan over at Yarisworld.com and we should have a new dyno chart within a few weeks. The aftermarket has caught on well enough. Intakes, suspension, headers, exhausts, pulleys, ect...

    Also, as far as swaps go, there is one guy at Yarisworld that put a V6 Tacoma engine in the back of his Yaris then structured a cage around it. 200+WHP RWD Yaris Hatch.

They swapped in a 2.7L 4-Cylinder engine from a Tacoma and cranked it up to 200HP. Sorry for the confusion. Yes, it's still RWD and still beefy.
