The thing that I also like about them is that they take their stuff to the limits on their own merit. If it works out on the track, that is how they know it's going to perform for the normal person on the street. I like that a lot about them, which is another reason for my suggestion. Very..very knowledgeable about cars in general, and very Hands-ON with the tC.
And as for the concern on when/length of time it will take for them to bring out the kit....Did you see how fast they got dirty on getting their Time Attack tC prepped after the crash at Summit?

PTuning doesn't mess around. Why do you think I do nothing but suggest the PTuning exhaust to everyone, lol. They use nothing but the best and beat the living crap out of it on the track. Travis and I can vouch for how much they beat the living crap out of their products before they finally start producing them.

It probably would take a 14 PSI S/C'ed tC to keep up with a 9 PSI Turbo'ed tC.
i like the ptuning kits looks and those vids of the time attack event proved there superior tuning and building abilities.. not to mention how much power they made on the stock block with higher boost levels!
be getting there 3 inch exhaust here soon! whoopie!

You sir are incorrect on so many levels. Lets start off first by addressing how much power you THINK a 9.5 PSI turbo tC makes. First off on 9.5 PSI a turbo tC would be putting down in the ball park figure of 270-300whp depending on the turbo. But no where NEAR as low as 245whp. When I first turbed my car I dynoed on 7 PSI and put down 250whp/260wtq, and that was on a 16G which is the Smallest turbo found on the tC.
On the second topic about Ice9's 311whp on 12 PSI. Do you know how the S/C'er even works. His 311whp is 311whp at Redline ONLY. A turbo that has 250whp maybe 260whp would run with that 311whp. Why, because turbos (again, depending on the turbine), are not Linear producing applications. If that was 311 Turbo whp, it would not be 311whp at redline. It would be 311whp at like 3,000 - 4,000 RPM. It would hit 311whp before the S/Cer did, and take off on it. That is why it would take a 14 PSI S/C'ed tC to keep up with a 9 or 9.5 PSI tC.
Thirdly is the question of Torque. S/C'er vs Turbo making the same whp the Turbo tC is making Double the amount of Torque, hence another reason why it trounces on a S/Cer.
You need to educate yourself on how the TRD S/Cer works. Cause I've been there and done that.
You want more proof:

FYI....the S/C'ed tC in this video later raced my boy's Stage 0 tC that was on 6 PSI. He had 3 people in the car, and Rich with the S/C'ed tC had his girl only. And he lost still.
Consider yourself educated.

So, on our next meeting, make sure you remind me.

every thing from the tc will fit just might have to mod it the pipes will be different but thats a given but most manis will work
ima laughing my ___ off at whoever said those S/C comments.. bro.. i had intake exhaust and pulley and IM AUTO! and a stock s/c manual beat me by 2-3 cars and hes a good driver. thats pathetic. the s.c would honeslty need that tiny ___ 14 psi pulley to even come near a tuned 8 psi turbo (that is a good setup). which is usually 270-290 whp.
