Default 06 scion tc build

as the title states. altho im not just blowing smoke about a pretend built with a wish list.
I bought my car only a couple of months ago.not even looking for a tc I found this beautiful 06 blitz blue rs with the trd supercharger. best part and the kicker on why I bought her was she was all stock and only had 13k miles and im now the second owner!
so lets jump right in...
started stock:

first mod I "had" to do was my ride height. we all know tc's come ready to rock climb. so....raceland coilovers came into play. granted I was sketchy at first. but I love them!great ride and great customer service!

now with ride height out of the way I then needed something to keep me steady.torque damper. truly a amazing mod!

I know I've skipped a few things such as fog lights and painted rims.iv've also tinted my tail lights.blacked the chrome grill and waterfall is now black. stickers everywere and think that's it that I havint taken a picture of?

heres a dull pic of the motor.

we all know the trd supercharger isint the best in power. nut im up to the challenge. the wimpy 7 or so pounds of boring boost is nothing when it cant beat anything. so thanx to nst and a bigger pulley were going to make more air! altho still debating 12.5-14lb still not sure. the highest I've seen someone do is 12.5lb.
so to make power you have to withstand power, so........
motor must come out to make improvements!

still waiting for some things in the mail.
660cc injectors
staged clutch
flywheel
walbro 255lb fuel pump
raceland headers
weapon r s/c intake pipe
obx crank pulley


other parts that are installed but no pics. borla exhaust, throttle body spacer and k&n intake.also have done the grease fitting mod and plan on buying the s/c upgraded shaft and bearings. but all in good time.i plan on breaking this one first.lol.
I have done a ton of searching and research. cant believe the highest dynoed s/c tc is 311hp?! im aiming for 350hp. just not trying to fallow and go turbo. I know turbos are fun and easier to play with but something about this unit makes me want to keep it.
any thoughts or pointers? let the hate flow!lol

notched,

i believe your posting in the "introduction" forum. maybe that's why your thread isn't so popular?

As for me, i'm a new guy so i don't know $h!t about cars, and can't see your pics cause i'm on a work computer....
