Toyota Vios TRD

[iLachva]

Well, first of all.
I don't really liked this car much cause of the dugong look infront.
But since my mom mom's friend whose a dealer nearby my house is giving me discount of RM500
and a year free insurance and can get the car by a week.
Here is what i wanna know, since toyota trd comes with auto without manual.
Can i add turbo to auto transmission ?
Bear with me I'm a noob in this kind of stuff.
If can, will it boost much performance?
If no, can i change my gear box to the manual one?
How much will it cost for a "not-bad" turbo brand. Intro some of it for toyota vios trd please.

And also what kind of mod do you guys intro for now? since i getting my car next week.
Minor mod like exhaust (recommended on auto?), extractor, this is what i learnt from this forum, something like 4-2-1
what's that?
And around how much would it cost for all the mod ?
Please do list out the mods and price for me from your all sifu's experience.
And maybe a good workshop for vios.
Thanks in advance :)

Just a note, install the turbo only when warranty is over.

If I can recall it correctly, the TRD vios is in Auto version only. I guess a turbo Vios with autobox may be slightly better in terms of general drivability, but not so much in spirited driving.

But then, I may be wrong.

yeah, it comes with auto gear box only.
just booked today and there's no manual transmission available.
by the mean time, what is the meaning of better in general drivalbility, and not much in spirited driving?

There is no problem having turbo with an auto tranny.. Turbo system does not need manual trans to work..

Btw the 4-2-1 means the extractor type,
(4) pipes from each cylinder, joined in a
(2)+2 position, and joins into
(1) single pipe before the middle box..

General driving lah, go to work/college, market, meet gf, bla3..
Spirited driving, depends.. Some people like to drive up to the red line, some like to speed, some like to use the clutch for doing an enginebraking, heel-toe..
Depends on individual..
But remember to drive safely n obey the law!
