well guys as you all know i boosted my car like 2 months ago. it turns out the seals on the turbo were trash and it blew oil into my intake mani and did some major damge. well to make a long story short i blew the motor and now am carless the car is sitting in my brothers house in miami. i am gonna bring it back up here by the end of this month. my plan was to fix the motor go back to stock on everything and get and STi but ......... i was thinking of the good times in the tC and i have decided to keep it. i am gonna do a tranny swap and boost once again hopefully this time around things go well. do you guys think its better to boost the tC again and go for around 280whp or trade in for an STi? STi is sick as ____ but gotta always love your first car

 

tC

 

i would boost the tc,why cause its so much easier then the sti,yea sti are sick but the maintainced is very expensive is something breaks and its hard to work on,

 

If you have the money keep the TC and go for it. Don't get me wrong the scooby's are nasty but their cliche'. A turbo TC will give you more satisfication when you walk a mustang gt or I-roc(camaro). So it's your choice man good luck.

 

Oh god close this thread before this starts another tc vs sti battle.

 

why not a gen coupe? lol.

 

^ 2.0t gen coupes cant hold much more than 300whp stock and to get there you are loking at big bucks. I wanted one when they first came out but once I saw how they held up I was turned off.

 

Nah I think tc. Cheaper lmao. Ok stop Bret!

 

Are we voting?
TC.

 

dam uber lobsided lol. yeah i am def gonna keep the tC i remember when i first took my turbo tC out for a drive people were just looking like wow. it felt nice idk how much power i was making but felt good. also i am not trying to start a batle about sti vs tC just asking wat ya think. but the plan i got for now is go pick up the car and a new motor swaped in. order the parts for the tranny swap and a new turbine and then do it the rite way. its def nice to see when people are talking ish bout the tC but when you turn that car on and just drive str8 into boost their jaw just drops. thanks for all the input guys. if ya have any suggestiong plz shoot them my way. also if any one knows where i can get my turbine rebuild plz let me know. my goal is july 4 to be out on the street again boosted

 

your from ny ? try asking s&k speed if they have anyone they recomen.

 

amen plz lock this up b4 a war starts if you feel like making payments on a 25k car(assuming u dont mean new one or 32k lol) and higher insurance and parts to mod then sure lol

 

how do i get in contact with them?

 

^^ try the phone???



jk

 

Boost the tC!!!

Police are attracted to STi's like ants to a picnic!

 

I would have gone with the STi because of its AWD, reflashable ECU, LSD on all 3 diffs, already comes turbo'd and can make way more HP with stock block before you need to build. I loved my boosted TC but once you reach the limits of stock components it starts to get pricey with EMS, LSD, clutches, and stronger internals. Also, spinning 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear got kind of annoying. Idk this is just my opinion but in the end do what makes you happy.

 

I know someone whom has more power than that and DDs it. 390whp to be exact

 

but somehow the tc is in the top 5 most pulled over cars in the US?

 

They have 2 stores, http://www.skspeed.com/ one should be near you.

 

On a 2.0t ? I've haven't kept up it since Beyond Redline popped there motor at 344whp.
