Hi there! This is my 2005 Toyota Corolla GLi 1.8 VVT-i.
I'm from Ecuador, South America. We import Toyotas from Venezuela, so this one was built there.

I wanted a TRD Supercharger since I bought my Rolla, but it was almost impossible to get it here. So I gave up and found a better solution for my forced induction needs, got a nice custom turbo kit! Stick around and let me know what do you think!

Thanks for visiting!

Current pictures with Turbo kit:

July 2006: Pictures above are from my Exedy stage 2 clutch kit and OBX crank pulley installed two weeks ago.
Engine picture as of May 2006, I installed a new TurboXS bypass BOV to solve a "too rich" condition everytime the old BOV discharged, causing sometimes the engine to stall when charging 9psi of boost.
Exterior without the TenzoR Springs (need to update de picture).

The engine bay with the Turbo kit installed.
