Here are some links for an XR turbo from Matrix Owners.com. The guy who developed this kit is Raamaudio (Rick). Check it out.

When I bought my XR, I heard that the dealer told me that there are Turbo Matrix. HP up to 180, but it's for manual only, so just go and ask for one.

Your dealer doesnt know what their talking about! There is no factory turbo for the Matrix. The 180hp 6spd is the Matrix XRS. It has a VVTL-I engine with 'lift' which is faster than the base or XR engine.

Toyota TRD just released a supercharger for the Matrix base and XR.

If you want turbo, you have to go aftermarket.
