    A few companies sell kits, but users complained of fitment problems.
    If you plan to build your kit, the difficulty would be finding a fuel rail and an a good exhaust manifold with down pipe.

    There's a huge corolla community at www.VVT-i.net and another board with a similar name, www.vvti.net. Basically the same people on both boards, but the first one has more people.

    Anyway, a turbo kit for the 93-97 corolla is coming out at the end of this year and one for the 1zzfe shortly after that. There are other people on the board who have gone custom w. their turbos though, so you can talk to them on the board.

    Few people complained that these ^^^^^ kits did not fit correctly, and it was a big hassle returning the parts for full credit. Your best solution is to start from scratch and build your kit, for starters, a larger fuel rail is one of the items that is hard to find. Just purchased one for a 1ZZ-FE engine from a guy on the Celica board, you can get it here: http://www.jmfengineering.com/cart/i...391e4b502aae8c

    No, I'm far from it. I will need to get an upgraded pump and injectors, maybe a return line and some form of fuel management for DIY tuning.
    The guy who made the fuel rails is using it on his car with no problems.
