I don't know what type of intercooler it is but it was on a Toyota factory display car, not just a regular car. Looked pretty sweet in person

WOW back from the dead. It's a forgotten project by TRD.

It's not going to come out.

I'm not trying to be an ___ but just stating the history.

I have seen in person a trd water/air charge cooler for the supercharger myself.

And I have also seen people apply the trd emblem over an air radiator for the supercharger just as well.

Both cars were show off cars for hyping the brand

Its been in limbo for so long, the tC is gonna be replaced right around the corner.
This piece of hardware is little likely to be seen for the tC.

the xB2 has a crap load of room for a proper air to air intercooler, the tC does not.

There are plenty of other good options avaiable in the charger cooling dept. Already available to us.

And dealer/corporate car or not, ugly or beautiful. My comment still stands. corporate has tons of money to throw at their show cars.

Until you see the option buyable from TRD for the tC, I wouldn't hold breath based on rumor and pictures.

i've been begging adq015 for details about it. and from what he has told me, the one he has on this road race tc is a prototype for trd research, and if trd were to release it, it would be a race only part (no warranty like what the supercharger comes with).

i asked him what i could do to help get it into production, and he said to try and find a group of interested supercharged tc owners and ask them how much they might be willing to pay for a production version.

basically do some market research, take some polls and surveys and what not, and if trd can justify that there are enough buyers for this product, they might put it into production.

sounds kinda slim, but i think it will be my pet project for this summer trying to get the supercharged tc owners to push trd to produce it.

Well TRD should already know most supercharger owners want the intercooler for the supercharger. When I talk to them about it. They said they get e-mails and phone calls all the time about an upgrade pulley from TRD, a TRD intake that will fit the supercharger, upgrade injectors from TRD and a TRD intercooler. They already know what the owners want. I wish the would of made those upgrades for the supercharged scion owners. If they do make it. I guess it better late then never.
I really wish the would

Drax, why not shoot a PM to the girl that works for Toyota? Integress is her name or something like that. I'm pretty sure she can throw in some words for you, and I mean, it's a long shot, but why not? And I would be interested too... unless I get one from a company on here....

My suggestion is again to start a NEW thread and for people to add their names to the list of people willing to buy it, and the price cap they'd be willing to pay.

I wouldn't call the chances slim. I have daily contact with TRD.

If someone starts a new thread and keeps it ON TOPIC and organized, let me know where it is, and I'll direct the attention of the powers that be to it.

If anyone doesn't know...this is who we are:
