More tC Power?
I have an '06 tC in super white. I drive an automatic, and I am looking for some ways to get more power that is not going to ruin the warranty.
I considered getting a performance chip, but reading on the forums here all of the horror stories of what it does to the engine, that is out of the question. Unfortunately because I drive an automatic, the new supercharger is out as well.
I've looked around the forums, but nothing seems to really answer the question : Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do to give my baby some more kick?

I personally cant offer much help on things to do with an automatic, only because I dont have one and pay more attention to the posts directed towards manual.
However, I CAN offer you this....aftermarket mods will NOT ruin your warranty.
Worst case scenario is if something goes wrong as a direct result of your aftermarket mod, the dealer wont fix that particular issue under warranty. But your warranty will still be in place, for the life of it.
Good luck to ya

umm i been told by my toyota dealership that if i do mod. to the engine or n e thing else it wouldnt void my warranty as long as the part didnt cause the reason for what happen to the car...
so if i added a injen intake and my intkae manifold broke for some reason they woudlnt cover it cuz of the injen intake....now if it was a trd intake they woudl cover it

that would be correct.....there is a law in which it specifically states that dealerships can not void your warranty unless the part was the direct reason as to why the warrantied part failed. IE your example of your injen intake messing up your inake manifold.

A dealership cannot ever "void" you warranty....they just wont fix it under warranty...your warranty will STILL be in place though

yeah its a headache in traffic, but then when you get out of traffic and you can real up the RPMs in 1st, 2nd and 3rd to right at redline, it takes that headache right away....
oh yeah and dropping two gears to pass dip____s on the road is fun too
