I believe they are the same, but I just want to verify.

By the way, that's the TRD Ist. It's about my favorite Ist and an inspiration.

Acutally i dont' thinks so! It might still fit but fitment is prob not the issue. Its the beam pattern! If you havent noticed the beam cut-off line for our headlights is not like this ----- ----- ! More like this --/-- --/-- ! that way you can light up the signs and stuff without glarring into the opposing traffic. Japan/Australia/UK on the ohter hand drives on the other side so their beam patter is like this --\-- --\--! and if you use that, technically it will work but you won't see the sign as well and you will be glaring into opposite traffic!

That's right! 150 ps at .65 bar or 9 psi.

Well, the turbo is part of a TRD kit. I believe it includes a piggyback ecu and bigger fuel injectors.
