Default Who's Going Turbo?

Hey all, Who plans on turboing there tC.

I my self would love 2 if i had a tC lol. but i got a 6th gen Celica so its a lil differnt. I am pretty impressed by the numbers that we have got on the turbo TC . So who else plans on boosting up?

i think this engine has serious potentioal as we already noticed. but imagine with a simple forged pistion and rod upgrade?

i am thinking about it, it really depends on the numbers on the TRD supercharger. either way it will be turbo, or supercharger.

Yea the S/C sould be pretty cool, but i love the sound of the turbo spooling up and a BOV. but i do love the whine of the S/C

agreed. BOV sounds nice

however the sound of my warrenty, and engine life sounds better.
to make turbo work properly it takes alot of money and tuning.
w/ the S/C it is worry free

im whatever for the best bang for my buck. i just want to be able to run 14s easily. i also jus want relatively easy maintenance.

so supercharger and turbo is 50/50 for me now.

I don't think I can keep coming here and reading about turbos without wanting one. but I'll have to wait for someone to make one for the AT.

GReddy and Turbonetics have turbos coming out in mid 2005 for our tC.

I am of COURSE going turbo, just look at my name HAHA.


BTW, my friend told me you can have a BOV on a S/C.
There just has to be a certain setup that it has for it to work.
