If they make it available to purchase, I would leave it at stock boost pressure. It looks like they include injectors with the kit from the pictured. It's not fair to say because a car with 12psi lasted 36k so 6psi would last 72k. There is no telling what he has or has not done. If you want to learn more on forced induction check out these sites:http://scionlife.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63570

When increasing compression or adding boost to your car you want to use high octane gas.

In reality you have no idea how long this car will last with even moderate levels of boost such as 6 PSI. The amount of research done on this topic is few and far between. I can also promise you Toyota NA will never cover that under the factory warranty. I just cannot see the point in paying several thousand dollars just so you can still have your doors blown off by real performance cars.
You can still blow your engine with nos or starting fluid. I don't like nos because it can run out, and constantly have to refill. As for cars of faster performance, I bought this car because it encompassed everything I wanted. If I wanted I could have bought a used (insert car here) instead of a newer XD. I don't want a drag queen, I like that's a hatch back, I like the fuel economy, I like that I don't see them everywhere, I like that its fairly light, and I like the dependability and resale value. This is an enthusiast site, and I can't imagine why someone would want to go around and crap on someone's idea without any info to backup their indiscriminate negativity.
As for not being covered by warranty, did you look at the translated site I posted? Its clearly states "As of March 2009 there was the Toyota Yaris bemani edition every Toyota dealer from CHF 33'900 .00 to buy a limited. Diese Sonderedition wurde vom Importeur lanciert und unterstützt. This special edition has been launched by the importer and supported. Somit gelten die wie für jeden Toyota üblichen Garantie- und Gratisservice-Leistungen. Therefore applicable to any such standard Toyota warranty and free services." Which means over in Switzerland or wherever this is put out. It is covered under warranty. If you would like to see the site I'll post the link again.http://translate.google.com/translat...al%26prmd%3Div
