engine swap?
I had a thought and was hoping some of you gear heads out there could give me some info. Being that toyota made dam near impossible to add forced induction to 05 xrs because of the way the 2zz engine is set up....what about swapping in a celica gts and turbo charging it? Aren't they the same powertrain?

There's no point in swapping in a Celica GTS engine, it's the same exact thing. And it's not impossible to turbo by any means.

Been done plenty of times, will run you about $7000 to do right.
