When it comes to the power output... if Toyota can reach same as WRX power which is 195kW... 250-255HP.... then why not????

Its ALWAYS better to have factory turbo installed than AFTER.... because that way you know the power output and turbo induction is ENGINEERED and TESTED over a year period.... after market Turbos and by TRD (which is an OUT-SOURCED development of turbo and super chargers post engine production) are a lot more riskier..

look at the Toyota Aurion TRD.... here in Oz... the STOCK engine off factory was 200kW which is 265-270hp...
then TRD Australia outsourced the supercharger development to another engineering firm and it added an extra 41kW.... so power is 241kW... which is 310-315hp...

but they had problems with engine over heating... and eventually costumer feedback went so bad that TRD Australia only lasted 6 months.. before Toyota Japan got rid of them....

moral is..... ALWAYS have as much POWER off the factory.....
