alright so i have a 2009 scion tC and i really wanna run a turbo on it but i have a lot of questions and really dont know where to start

alright so my first big question is for the guys running small turbo kits do you have to build the motor at internally. i know if you run a bigger turbo then the answer would be yes but i see a lot of small turbo kits saying they getting like 250 at 8PSI.

also i know the Stock ECU cant be tuned on so what are you guys running for engine management

and any recommendations on turbo as i dont really wanna spend a ton but I know its not cheap to do

 

Before I respond, this is the primary example of a lazy member who's not willing to do any research...lol.

Start by looking around these forums.

Stock block limits are generally 350 WHP with a good tune.

Typical management is the GReddy e-manage blue, GReddy e-manage ultimate, and AEM F/IC.

You know the answer. Turbo is expensive. I can name a million played out phrases, like "Pick two: Cheap, Fast, Reliable", but in the end, it will cost you money.

 

This forum is LOADED with great information, and it does not take much effort to find it. Look for yourself, search button is your friend.

 

if your worried about money why are you looking to go turbo??

 

research, you gotta do it,your job is to know everything and anything about turbos and how they work,as they say if your going turbo, no short cuts.....you can have a budget but gotta know what you want and how your going to do it

 

IBTL

lol its going to happen

 

IBTL is so yesterday, next time use this instead





But on a serious note, search. The only reason King Arthur never found the Holy Grail was because he didnt have Google. But he still searched for it.

 

^^^ lol

 

i no its gonna be expensive but ive seen guys rocking like 5 grand in there turbo kits and all this custom stuff but im trying to keep it hopefully under 2 grand but i think with that being said i would have to buy a used kits and i no the management systems are very pricey also

 

not to jack your thread but iv got what you need...every thing to run boost @8psi safely..https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=189847

 

nice kit just not looking to invest yet into anything.just kind of seeing my options and looking around

 

then search and stop making dumb threads boost under 2grand GL you have to have back up money for tunes or if your car breaks down a tow but here ill help you out

everything you need only 520 bucks http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SCION...item335f002647

 

^minus fuel management, but yea its got alot of nice shiny parts. dont expect it to fit well if you get an ebay kit.

 

i would never buy a ebay kit

 

cheap, reliable, fast, pick two.

 

well i no i can piece a kit together for under 2 grand considering there are 2 maybe 3 kits forsale on here for like 1100 and 1500

 

That's because the parts are used and they're selling it for dirt cheap or no one else will buy it, because most Scion owners are cheap. Sorry, but I don't think you know what you're getting into. Even if you get all the "necessary parts", stuff goes wrong, and if you limit yourself to "under 2 grand", it's going to really suck if something screws up. Get a better job, or just save your money longer, or don't go turbo.

 

w.e this thread can be locked i took this topic to another board where the people are more helpful

 

Just put a shot of nitrous on your car and blow it up that way. You'll save money.
