Factory TRD Turbo for xB/xA..

Look what I found:

http://www.trdparts.jp/parts_trdturbo-complete.html

Too bad the site is in Japanese...

What're everyone's thoughts on this?

This is super old info. Can't run it on US cars cause the bB has different ecu.

You have to swap to the Japanese ECU to run that kit.

For those who haven't been keeping up, this kit is coming over in a new 1-NZ Turbo'd Corolla coming out in February.

It's been Cali legal for a few years now, I found it on the CARB site a while back.

No problem. Just because something isn't on a message board doesn't mean it's not in the works.

Did you read the article? Granted the quote is in a spot that could be easily overlooked (between two pics).

Quote:

In order to revive the Toyota Corolla's sporty image back in the 70's and 80's, Toyota Racing Development (TRD) will be launching a turbo version of their Corolla Axio sedan come February 2009.

Says launching but does not say launching in the U.S. This article is brought by Toyota Japan and the race is being held in Fuji or something.
I'm pretty sure they are launching it in Japan. All the good stuff comes out there first.

The Corolla doesn't weigh that much more than the xA or xB so just picking up the car
would be good enough really if it does hit us shores. Will open up for some of us maybe.
