May be stock but for 3k you are getting bent over buying that. Cobalt SS makes 205 hp and toque from a 2L. Neon SRT4 makes 230 hp and even more torque and comes with upgrades from the factory to raise that higher from a 2.4L. tC is a 2.4 so I would think 200hp is a little on the low side and 175 lbft is way low. Id like to see 200-220 hp with similar torque to be worth 3k for it.

doesnt matter if its bling or not to me... its performance that counts... if it does perform how i want it to....

i wonder if their kit will replace the stock air box with a cone filter like the pic shown....

they claim it will replace the airbox

also, if they're going to make something that takes up a lot of the engine bay (like this), why NOT make it look good? if it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.

Hmmm...usually Vortech superchargers have a shiny chrome finish, this one doesn't. Is TRD getting them without the blingage?

I know it is and so is the Cobalt. Thats why I wouldnt expect the huge power you can get from the SRT 230 hp & 250 lb-ft stock up to 310 hp and 325 lb-ft for the Stage 3. Since the tC engine is bigger than the Cobalt one I would think that it may be able to put out similar power 205 hp & 200 lb-ft with less boost required and also less expensive mods to handle the increased power.

looks different than the one from scion night





only thing i heard is something like 203 hp or something like that

im sure since its production and they had to pass CARB to get it legal to sell theyre gonna be conservative. plus it leaves room for aftermarket parts for scion and others to sell, thats the name of the game

That really looks like the airbox is going straight to the TB without going through the compressor..

The compressor hose goes down a little bit so I guess that's where the airbox hose might be going but that just looks like more piping than necessary.

One would hope those pictures are not the final release pictures.

You want more than 60 WHP and 30WTQ (I don't buy those torque numbers—should be more like 190ish) for $3000? Come on people.

How many SC kits that give you 25%+ gains for less than $3K exist? With a manufacturers warranty and installation?

I think you guys have been sniffing too much SuperTuner print

I'm not in the market for one, but Scion and the manufacturerer of this tkit are going about the release of this kit the right way...If they had come out with it six months ago and had quircks,hiccups or glitches you all would have been crying foul. Let them finish their tuning, assemble the parts and then release their product.

THe guy at Scion Night said that he Supercharger Origionally produced 200 at the wheel and ~230Crank but it wouldnt' pass smog so they tried to keep the HP above 200crank while passing Carb so that's where the 203 number comes from. Also the TRD Supercharger runs on Stock ECU with new Injectors from what I am told.

It better be at the wheels. This has been about to be released in a month or 2 for probably at least a year. Its just poor planning on their part by now.
