Hey guys i'm just curious as to see how successful you all have been with supercharging or turbocharging your early 05 model m/t tCs? i remember reading about the guy who blew his engine on the dyno and i'm unsure of the integrity of my engine block...

 

I have an '05 and I love the turbo, no problems at all! Don't waste your time thinking about it just get one.

 

I got my tC in June of 04 .. first one on the lot.. Its held up just fine with the turbo for almost a year... running the Turbonetics 5 speed kit..

 

our '05 has 35k miles, with 25+k on the sc. No problems on either.

 

You probably read my thread. Although, I am definitely not a guy.

Yup, it blew and its an 05. It happens. It can happen to any engine regardless of age. Be careful and get a really good tune and you're good to go.

 

haha probably...sorry about the mixup

 

Boosted 05 checking in! I have a ZPI kit with 10k miles and no problems yet!

 

I am also rockin a ZPI kit on my 05'. No problems at all, i just have the stage 0, and saving to upgrade to stage 1!

 

Boosted 05 here too. Got my car July 2nd 04 (3rd car they received) and I have been boosted since November 05. Also about 6 months of that was on a stage 0 with no management or intercooler. Total over 23k miles on the turbo I believe.

 

another boosted 05. have had the Greddy kit for about 4k miles... no problems yet.

 

Purchased my tC in October 2004. Been pushing all different boost levels, different gasoline, different temps/climate, a lot of racing, and a lot of daily driving. Put over 18k turbo miles on it and it's still on the stock motor.

Well the motor still works. Currently my car's being torn apart for a big build but not because of engine problems. Hope that helps.

 

ooo i cant wait for this "big build" to be finished!

 

You and me both haha
