I have searched around for the answers to this question, but it just seems that everyone goes off on a tangent about it.

I own a 2006 Automatic tC. I am looking to get more power for my baby. I know there is no automatic supercharger right now, however, I have heard that turbochargers could be an option. Are they legal?

Is there another option besides turbochargers that will give her a nice kick? This is my first car I've owned that isn't 4 doors or a boat, and I am ACHING to see what I can do with it.

I wanted to go to the tC experts on this one rather than just look it up from some joe schmoe on the internet.

Thanks for your help guys!!

 

you could always put NOS in it.

 

thats true but if u do that dont race in 'drive' do it manually

 

Lol stop trolling the tC board and stop calling it NOS. Its nitrous, put down the DVD.

 

as for ideas for an AT, I would look around at threads about ScionDad's daughters tC, he's got a ZPI Stage 0 Turbo on it. For more info about nitrous there is WeDriveScions thread where him and another guy are keeping track of their nitrous installs and progress.

I've also heard it's possible to fit the TRD SuperCharger to the AT, but all the AT fit kits I see for sale all have no ETA, so don't take my word on that one.

Also I'm not 100% sure on the legality of turbo's but I don't think they're illegal at all so long as you pass emissions.

Check out ZPI and Dezod for the current turbo kits for the tC and then there is a new thread about the Turbonetics kit which sounds amazing.

GL on whatever you decide and figure out, hope I've helped somehow!

Optional.
Thanks for the advice...that was very helpful.

 

I don't think you have to worry about any emmision laws out in Phoenix, AZ, they don'y have any strict laws against intakes, exhaust, turbos, etc., like Cali, does, but if anybody that has lived longer in AZ and knows it better then me think I'm wrong, please feel free to correct me, thanks.
