I'm looking forward to buying a turbo kit. Don't know which is best but was lending toward turbonetics. Mightygnu I'm interested in your kit. Any reason why your selling yours?

in california...there is NO legal turbo kit for a scion tC, it will not pass smog, depends on how you drive your car and the specifications on the kit as to how high ur psi can be on the stock internals

The highest "documented" hp level achieved on a stock motor has been 420ish whp, but there is no magical number that the stock engine is going to give out at.
