Gentlemen, Just scheduled a S/C installation, and an oil change for this thursday. Thats right. the day after tomorrow.

The men over at Koons Scion of Tysons are definitely great to work with. I recommend them 100%. Dan from the parts dept. let me know all the info as he was getting it, and Aria in the service dept. scheduled me as soon as he could.

As for numbers, im going to call some places today and tomorrow -- whoever can give me a good deal will be greatly appreciated seeing as how now i have no $$.

Nope, no updates... not yet... should be able to pick up tomorrow early afternoon, although i'll probably go around 3ish. they were SQUEEZING me in for today, so he had originally said that i would probably have to pick up on friday anyway.

i'll keep you guys updated.

Just dropped my car off this morning to get my supercharger installed. Will have my supercharged tC at 5:30PM. I asked about break in. I haven't read anywhere about a break-in period. They said they don't know of any break-in either. I will talk to them about it again when i pick my car up

Awesome! I'll be awaiting results. I'm thinking the TRD s/c will put out more HP than expected. 25% increase is too low for 7psi. General rule is 10-12hp per 1psi.
