Thanks and it was $3595 installed.

Honestly after beating on it already... I can't see why people _____ about it, the power is prevalent through the whole usable tC rpm range and feels GREAT *shrug*

This is my DD and I have the extended warranty on it, so I plan on sticking with TRD parts for the time being (definitely needs a drop and the swaybar/strut bar to match the new power). My ZX2 is my money pit so I'd like to keep the warranty valid as long as I can (I have a nagging itch to mod everything I get my hands on).

The tC is a wonderful car and I'm quite happy with everything I've put on it, thumbs up to Toyota.

Apparently they fixed the issues for the 07 model, so we'll see. It held up fine to me beating on it for an hour after I got it home lol

That's great. I completely understand your reasoning there. Also, with respect to the fixes for the 07 version, only time will tell, but from what I've seen and read, it does look promising.

Yup, we'll see how it holds up. BTW, it looks like the TRD flash for the 07 fixed the annoying bog in the next gear if you shift too close to rev liimit and the engine flares hitting the rev limit (causing the bog in the next gear).

Might want to save it on your PC and scale it down for a bit sharper image. All I have on hand right now is my camera phone, but this gives you an idea of what the bolt on the pulley is like (I'm at work).


Oh and my massive amount of miles before I modded it

That's the airbox. There seems to be some kind of "shroud" in the fender that meets the edge of that airbox as well.
