Default High Miles

I have a 87,000 mile Scion 06 TC. No oil leaks and runs good. The guy I bought the TC from claimed it was majority of freeway miles. I wanted to boost my car so I impulsively bought a incomplete TRD supercharger kit which I regret. It needs oil pan, fuel injectors and intake. The S/C has 12,000 miles on it. Should I try to complete the kit and install it or go turbo? Also is it dangerous with such high miles on my car to install F/I?

Place S/C in trash, buy a turbo.

What should I be aware of when installing a turbo kit on such a high mileage TC? Which kit is best for about 260 to 300hp?

Dezod S1 kit :

Cheapest kit out there that i would trust, and don't let the fact that it's cheap fool you, top notch quality! Speaking from first hand experience. Absolutely loved my kit.

The world racing kit is just about the exact price as the dezod kit, since they charge for shipping

Trd sparks has the World racing kit for 4080 shipped, just something to consider!

although dezod has had some good sales in the past, as low as 3600 if i can remember correctly, hopefully they have another sale in the future, lol "hint hint"
