This is my first time posting here but this site has really helped me find the right places to buy parts for my tc. now i have a question i have a 2007 scion tc 73k miles on it and i want to turbo it.

I just want to know what do i need to turbo my car/ what would be the safest psi to run on stock block or if i can still run a stock block with my high miles. etc.

i plan to buy dezod s1 turbo kit but i would also like to know is there anything else i would need. i know i need a new exhaust system but what else this is the first time i turbo any car so im not sure what i need to do.

The car runs great and i have not had any problems with it i have had it for a year, this is my daily driver i take it to work maybe 20miles monday-friday.

Any help you guys can give me would be great! i hope to turbo within the next month or so thanks a bunch!

you don't need a new exhaust system to run a turbo kit, but it helps optimize the efficiency of the turbo kit if you do.

If you have a manual transmission, you'll need a stronger clutch, if you have an auto, you should get a transmission cooler.

PSI isn't the biggest point of relevance when it comes to the engine reliability. I have 93k on my tc and i'm running 12 psi, but I have a smaller compressor on my turbo, so it isn't flowing quite as much air per PSI as other turbos.

 

Thanks this really helps alot and i do drive a 5speed manual my main concern was that my tc has 70k+ miles on it and i thought that would be a problem if i where to drop a turbo onto it.

 

If your engine is healthy, then there shouldn't be any problems right off the bat. Do a compression test and leakdown test if necessary to make sure. I boosted my 08 tc at about 85k miles, stock block, so far no problems other than the ones I created myself.
Make sure you find a really good tuner that has experience tuning the tc and your engine management before you do anything. It'll save you lots of time and money (speaking from experience).

 

do lots of research and homework,dezod s1 is a great choice.....i personally have that,and love it...like a whole new car,make sure you have gauges,like afr,boost,and oil pressure,
