Default Scion Tc Turbo

Has anyone installed or gotten a scion tc turbo put on yet? If so which one, and how much horsepower increase have you gotten? have you had it tested yet? I'm going to probably have one put on an automotic but you can only do a stage I turbo kit on it.

Yea, there are a select few that have the turbo installed. ZPI, ScionSpeed and Dezod have been developing them for the last 6 months, but have yet to release them to the general public. ZPI appears to be the quickest one to release theirs. Do a search on here and you will see tons of threads.

As for your header post, all aftermarket headers throw a CEL. I installed the Megan header, did the antifouler mod for $4 bucks and no CEL 7000 miles later.

I just dropped off my TC yesterday to finally install the Scionspeed stage 2 turbo. After months of waiting the day finally came. It should be ready by either late tonight or Monday, but he said most likely by monday. I will definitely let you guys know whats up with it.

Are you doing a performance clutch? If not your going to burn up you clutch so badly.
Eric That's what I've heard.

We have a customer (cincytc) who has the ZPI stage 0 kit on his tC, he has his own personal dyno times and drag time slips. He should be posting them up soon. I'm sure you can search him and get some results.

I'll take that bet.

P.S. Tell that to the guy in the S/C Cobra that I rolled up about 5 times last night.

Its monday and i still dont have my car. I called and he said it should be ready by Wednesday, whats up with this guy ? A week to install just a turbo and gauges ? Wtf man? Get ur freaking act together. This guy is a joke, and if I woulda known earlier i would of definitely gone with another company. Also the "Incentive" for waiting so long ( dual exhaust system) isnt even going be in for another month or so, so I actually have to go back and deal with this guy again... wow what a mission... Ill definitely install the exhaust somewhere else though because knowing him it will take a week to install an exhaust system. I think that he thinks by taking so long that he wont have to give out the kits and make even more profit since the customers will all be dead from old age.
