Corolla Supercharged/Turbocharged

I'm looking for a Turbocharger/Supercharger for my car 2007 Toyota Corolla.

I do not want one that is from Toyota (TRD) Because that is just way to much. Right now i have a Fujita Cold Air intake that is it. But im looking to upgrade. What are some other good brands out there? Can someone show me some pictures of they're installation?

getting a supercharger would be difficult since they aren't made for our cars anymore, you'd have to find a used one, TRD or a GM one from the Pontiac Vibes. a turbo setup could cost anywhere from $2000 to $5000 depending on exactly what parts you want, easiest way to find out would be to just google "turbo kits" or something

those are two very different systems, you might want to know what each one brings to the table not only in performance, but also availability (unless you are building a system from scratch), reliability, cost, ease of installation etc......

There are no inexpensive options for forced induction, you gotta pay to play.

I would prefer a supercharger but those are harder to find. Because i have a 1.4L engine.

I dont want those shitty Electric Superchargers that i see all of the time when i type it in on google they dont work for shit.

you have a 1.4L 2007 corolla, a 4ZZ? what country do you live in? if you really do have the 4ZZ Euro corolla, you won't be able to supercharge without some serious custom fabrication and stuff. you probably wont be able to do any form of forced induction without shelling out some major $$$

No thats not what i meant, I have two Rollas I have 1 that was imported from Europe and another from U.S.

I mixed up the two, the one that i want to turbocharge is the U.S one, It is a 1.8L 4 cylinder Engine.

not trying to be mean or get on your case, just want to emphasize that in order to get accurate information, you also need to supply it.

good luck on your mission, let us know how it goes.

Yea...your only real option is a turbo kit and thats gonna take a lot of work to install and cost about $3k from turbo kits. Puttin the turbo in might not be too hard but the electric work will be, i dont think their kit comes with a control unit.
