So im on break and this kid who just started prelude driver whatever is telling me that certain toyota delaerships are selling trd turbo kits for the scion tc for around 2500 but its a non promoted type of deal is this kid full of crap or what.

 

TRD does not make a turbo for the tC, they only make a supercharger because it is supposed to have less stress on the motor than a turbo.

 

There isnt a turbo kit from TRD...

But there are dealerships you can purchase a turbo kit from

Found a link to the forced induction that TRD makes.

Correct, and there are quite a few sweet turbo setups out there too!

 

If TRD were to make a turbo for tC's they would probably just buy production rights to the Greddy turbo and replace the Greddy emblems with TRD

 

lol that sounds like TRD state of mind right there! the "TRD supercharger" (vortech) lol

 

which dealership and does it have warranty? :D

 

lol x2

 

Lol, a turbo kit for 2500? That's damn cheap.

$2,250

the TRD S/C was dropped down to $2500

 

actually its less than that...dealer cost is now $1850 so expect to see em at around $2100ish

 

They are $1850 at TRDSparks.com.

 

I'm not sure which dealerships but I've heard a few were building nice setups and selling them to promote the dealership. I doubt the turbo is warrantied. It's kind of like what they did in the 60s with the Yanko. It was beefed up by the dealer not the factory to sell more.

 

I currently have 5 dealerships that offer my turbo kits to there customers.

Do to certain "contract agreements" I am not able to say which dealers they are, if I could I would have let you guys know along time ago. But there are 2 on the East Coast, 1 in the mid-west and 2 on the West Coast.

Each dealership has there own deal, but it does not come with a warranty(turbo kit= the warranty is what it is from me,nothing extra from Scion) and is not part of the actual contract when you purchase your vehicle.

Why wouldn't they want you to tell people? Wouldn't that mean more business for you and them? Is it branded as your kit or do they keep that undisclosed to the customer?
