Buyers Guide: Scion tC Forced Induction
HMM quick question for you boosted guys?? What is better power wise. Supercharger or Turbo!! I don't want long rants I just mean dollar per horsepower! I like my cars like my fast food cheap and filling! lol any advice will help as I still have till christmas to get my boost! Thanks guys. BTW I am only looking to make max 300 hp I don't want an insane # like 500.
I would say the ZPI Stage 0 Kit would be your best bang for your buck. it runs right around 2900 dollars, and gives you right around 250whp. depending on your funds you can get a few more goodies with the stage 0 than the stage 1. Hope this helps
there won't be any heat issues to worry about. Just tune your AFR right and you will run just fine. Your best bet would be to do some reserch on a tunning company in your area. They would be more help.
Yeah The Zpi Turbo kit is 2100 actually!! But I live in AZ what about heat issues.
hey i keep hearing different numbers for different kits. i hear the turbonetics kit is the strongest (according to comparisons) but i think i saw that the zpi kit give the actual 300 whp where as turbonetics say they do but only deliver 240

A general rule of thumb:
The HP made really depends on the size of the turbo used. Smaller turbos have to run at higher PSI to make the same amount of power as a larger turbo.

I have always driven rear wheel drive cars. I am curious, how well does a front wheel drive car handle the extra horsepower? The few i have driven (parents, etc..) have had alot of wheel spin when I tried to push the limits.
Ok probly a noob question but I'm lookin into the turbonetics kit in the future when my warranty goes out. If I get the injen sp cai will I have to sell it after I'm boosted? I've heard some kits can use a short ram intake and since the injen can convert from sr to cai I was just wondering.

Thats y I was asking. I know some kits can use a short ram intake and I didn't know if the turbonetics one did or not. The injen sp cai converts from a cold air intake to a short ram intake an vice versa thats y I'm gettin it. Besides I won't be gettin boosted for another yr or longer. I got other things I'm wanting to do to it before that. Thanx tho.
