There is a Yaris-TS, which is essentially what the Scion XD was built off of. It has the same 2ZR-FE, 1.8 130hp engine. That's the closest you're gonna get to a tarted up factory Yaris.

If you're stuck with a 1.5(like me) there is a turbo kit that microimageonline.com sells, for less than 2k. Stock motor(internally) on stock ECU can handle 160hp with other supporting mods.

If you really want to go crazy, there is someone in PR that swapped in a 2ZZ from the celica GT-S(http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sho...&highlight=2zz). There is also a RWD yaris out there somewhere(http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3096907/2007-toyota-yaris), I don't know if they finished it. There also this echo...http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sho...yaris...pretty sick.

The point is that if you are really interested in a yaris there is a lot of aftermarket support for it...Just don't expect too much from it cause every car has it's limits and the yaris is definately no exception.
