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.
wow! just a turbo and gauges?!? how come he just didn't throw it on while you wait? it really amazes me how people think stuff is so easy to do. i wonder if simez2003 has ever actually done any kind of automotive work.

yeah its alot of work to do a upgrade like that. be patient my friend because it worth the wait. any way the 1/4 mile times being recorded with a turbo upgrade was i believe a high 13 or low 14.

Stage 2 turbo around 15 psi, with racing slicks gets the car into the mid 12's...ive actually seen it. Without the slicks and just street tires, prob hit a low 13, run with an evo or sti easily. These engines can handle a ____ load of boost, the most ive seen was 33 psi

Actualy, it made a 12 second run on slicks and phantom grip LSD. The video is under media at ScionSpeed. I do agree that without an LSD and slicks it would probably run low 13s possibly high 12s.

33 psi?? Wtf....I thought they said anything over like 18 or 19psi starts too lift the head.....

Not saying I don't believe you but that must have been for a very short time if it was done....

The 12 second run was with the smaller trim turbo, on 15psi with slicks, LSD and a big subwoofer in the trunk. With the larger trim turbo, and about 100lbs less weight, Im sure I can get around 12.6-12.8 1/4 time. I could be wrong, but Ill be sure to let you guys know as soon as i take it to the track.

LoL yea thats the one...its still a tC, i'd probably only do about 12-15 psi if i turboed my tC, too much turbo makes you want to stay on the gas pedal for too long...stupid evo

We went 12.12@114 with slicks and a open diff. This was on 13-14psi with a 16g which in the turbo world is a little turbo.

It's an EVO big 16G that's been ported and clipped from what I here. Stll a little turbo but makes nice power with a fast spool up.

No CincyTC has a stage 0 kit with a FMIC. Here's a link with info on his car: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=75914
