Default Modding Down Under: Toyota 86 (Scion FR-S) by MRT Performance



Australian companies MRT Performance and ROH Wheels have collaborated to supercharge and turbocharge a Toyota 86 … oh, and they also modified almost everything else on the car.

A turbo and a supercharger and they didn't even make a 100 horsepower gain? Either one of those upgrades on their own can make those numbers.
