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.)

I'm not sure about this, but couldn't that be due to the inherently peaky nature of the 2ZZ?
A supercharger can mitigate that somewhat, but a turbo might exacerbate it (some 2ZZ drivers already liken hitting lift to a turbo kick)
