Does anyone know if a Borg Warner KKK K04 turbo kit could be used on the xB? I know they are primarily associated with VW and Audi, but I think I remember reading an ad for one of their turbos for the 1.8L engine used in the Celica. Just curious.

I currently drive a VW Passat w/ the 1.8T engine. It has been a very reliable turbo charged engine and I have enjoyed it very much. I believe the turbo in my Passat is the KKK K03 that generates the 170hp and that the KKK K04 is the unit used in the Audi TT that generates 225hp from the same engine and still carries the full factory warranty.

xB=1.5L... that's a different sized engine.

So is Blitz the manufacturer that is more closely associated with Toyota (aside from TRD) ... like Borg Warner is associated w/ VW and Audi? Just wondering.
