Todays greenbelt Toyota not 20 years ago Toyota. They ain't the same company. even their CEo admitted that.
If that doesn't suit you why are all powerful 4 cylinders using DIT technology and Toyota not? Turbos don't fit their statistics. They even chose a supercharger on the Elise 2ZZ (which was fine but more $'s.)
They probably ran all the numbers on subaru's turbos and got scared.
All the while the ecoboost (ford), ecotech (GM), Fuel sratisfied Injection (VW), all of Hyundia just to name he biggest auto makers. Toyota is
conspicuously missing from the list. Before you say Honda their proto roadster is DIT.
Heck Subaru even has a 1.6L 240hp DIT that would great but beter than the fA20 mistake with sme tweaking (IMHO).
