thanks a nice start from u guys..the most important question that i would like to know.. which engine turbo/sc that suits corolla deluxe..since i'm not to keen to get mad power .. i settle for normal or medium range of power.. any suggestion..err i prefer factory turbocharged or supercharged.Cos' nowdays oil is kinda pricy...a well tune factory turbo/sc would be the best for my daily street ride.i just need the bzzzzz sounds(blow off) when changing gears and abit acceleration to outrun normal 1.6L cars ^^.Btw i prefer EFI.. but a carbie would do anyway.


plz help meee huhuhuhuhu
