The difference is that with a front mount everybody will think that Munch has a turbo and give him respect that he lacks on here.

 

You my friend are a moron Your post has nothing to do with this topic. You must really like me I got all the respect I need at home in PA and at my other home in NY.

Bump. ANy new news on the possibility of a TRD intercooler. With ZPI throwing out a ballpark figure of 1200 for an FMIC, I'd much rather buy TRD's (if it ever comes out) or have a custom fabricated TMIC. Anyone know of any aftermarket hoods (or where I could have one made) that would support this?

 

im wondering the same thing. I am 100% guessing at this but say they were to come out with the trd its going to be for the 2006 model and if thats so - its going to come out second half of the 2006 generation. .....thats even if they come out with it at all. its made .. ... its if they are going to produce it thats the question.

 

There's no reason why an intercooler for an '06 model won't work on an '05.

It won't work cause the steering wheel controls would get in the way! It's good to have an '06!

 

 

 

i made a mistake - i was saying that if they come out with it for 2007 - its going to come out the second half of 2007.... 2006 was a type-o that i just picked up on.

Steering wheel controls?

 

06s have steering wheel controls

 

That would suck considering the Tc's last year will most likley be 07. That's according to my local Scion manager.

 

im not sure how true that statement is but im also not sure how false it is either. ....why would they cancel a car that is doing nothing but making them money? Whats scion w/o the tC?

 

scion is switching there models out about every 4 years, so they can stay "fresh"

so yea at about 08/09 or so model year, the tC is outta here.

 

maybe thats not such a bad thing since its toyota. Since they are seeing what works and what doesnt work .... they can improve on their models. My guess is what they replace it with is going to have 200hp to start with (which in a few years will be the minimum anyway).

 

Who cares how long the tC will be around. We have great cars NOW! Back on topic:

Has anybody heard of anyone successfully putting an IC onto their supercharged tC? A lot of people (myself included) are wondering how much HP this mod would provide. Anyone have any clue?

 

i think everybody is wondering this - we are all waiting on ZPI to come out with the numbers.

 

i could swear that TRD was making a FMIC

 

Woah way to bring it back from forgotten zone. Get an aftercooler or a water to water inner cooler and top mount it.

 

2 years +, and it's alive again! Highly doubt this will ever happen.
