I need to sell my tC, so I can buy my RPF1s, so I can get these damn snow tires off my car, so I can start racing. sdafioj8034f023fj0qfj[0wui9f0[quf08wquf09
hahahaha, i had my scion tuned at church automotive when i was running low compression cp pistons , meth full exhaust, bc stage 2 cams, full port polish and port match, and my own customer water/air intercooler, (no pipeing) . tuned with emanage ult, and lsd... no joke . i had it tune at church at 324hp and then i installed bigger intercooler because the core was only good for 270hp and air flow was good for 370cfm so i installed core good for 500hp air flow OF 920CFM ,remember our s/c are good for 720cfm . the pint is intercooler was to small for my set up so now im at 350hp with a daily driver tune, my tuner said that i could hit 400 if i use race fuel higher octane. . but just last month my shaft took a sh-t, i had one ordered . im know rev at 7200k thats when i hit 350hp

I'm more worried about the longevity of your car and reliability. You see some, like Jon was boosted, 3" exhaust for a year or 2 for 11,000 miles, did a little auto-x then he parted out and sold the car. Who knows, at 20,000 he could have ran into problems.
If you're anything like me, you'll drive 11,000 miles at a much more rapid rate and you want reliability for a DD that you drive much more frequently and may be your only car. A lot of people are saying "do it" but don't understand your specific situation and whether you'll have the money if something goes wrong. I don't care if its been done or how many people have done it, you're adding more stress to a motor that wasn't built to handle it anyway.
Just be safe and cautious with your decisions is all i'm saying, GL!

haha, yeah, i'm miserable right now because i only have all season tires on the car now, really holding me back. my times sucked! oh well.
True-true if your not going to upgrade your s/ c shaft. I've been boosting 12psi for around 20k 8months. Straight good untill shaft spun. The only thing when boosting a s/c . I ran 10psi for 5years no problem..
