I need to know the distance between the VC (front of engine) to the back of the radiator on a TC.
I need to figure out is 'my' car has enough clearance for a TC turrbokit to be fitted. The measurement will help me compare the room you have available and what i have available.

Thanks in advance

sorry, i didnt make myself clear enough. My car isnt a TC, but shares the same engine. As the kit is designed for the TC, i wanna know how much room it takes up so i can compare it to my engine bay. Everything else in the kit looks like an exact fit.

There gotta be someone out today washing their cash or something, have a quick look, use a tape measure, i need to know please.

yes and no........... the charger will most likely fit and run, but you wont be able to close your hood! LOL the kit was designed to place the SC high up over the ex manifold where i have space, but on a TC, it would foul the hood.

Its not as complicated as some may be thinking............ all it need is someone with a ruler or tape measure.
If the TC has say 11 inches between the VC and RAD, and mine has 11 inches or more between the VC and RAD....................... then its gonna fit!

Brilliant! A round of applause for that man, if you werent so far away, i would kiss ya!

So by my reckoning, there is enough room. From youre tape, 3" to 14" is the measurement i needed, that leaves 11 inches of room, just like i have on my Previa.

I wish they did make a Roots type blower for the tC, I love the whine.

it does sound really nice, its characteristics also give the engine an instant kick. Im feeling the force :) but i wanna upgrade to a turbo so im selling my SC now i know for sure the TC kit will fit.
