    Definitely should say 03-06, but what I don't understand is why won't a turbo kit for a 9th gen corolla or celica fit an 8th gen corolla? There may be a little fabrication needed, but it shouldn't be that hard.

    Oh there's a lot of fabrication needed. You'll need a new turbo manifold. 9th gens have more firewall clearance and the turbo manifold was designed with that in mind. Hence the 9th gen turbo manifold will not clear the 8th gen firewall.

    i don't know why people would buy a turbo set up off of ebay. buy from a company to make sure you are getting what you need.
