GOOD NEWS GUYS! for those of you with an 05-06 TC, the new lower price kit has the old tamper proof cap. NOT the new tamper proof bolt of the new 07-08 SC kit.

My kit is being installed right now at Longo toyota.. I went out there to talk to the mechanic and he showed me the old cap. NOT the bolt. awesome!

 

Forced induction setups require premium gas for proper engine timing.

 

I have a friend that works at the scion delaership....and he said that they are the same but the computer is different in the 07...so whatever that means.....they dont have that available yet

 

dang i need a s/c now.

 

Oh, my bad. I forgot to say I called TRD and asked them about this too (a while after I wrote that), and they too said "something" was different about the 07's, so I guess its true. Their reply was rather vague and nebulous though, so there's something going on there....

 

Chillll guys.

 

There are some cool people on Scionlife, like Dieselstation and SpeedDeamon, but mostly a bunch of lames that dont know anything but try to act like they do. Maybe that's what all forums are like. I've pretty much had enough.

Be wise. Do your own research. When you read something on here, use that as a starting point, then go confirm it on your own. And don't forget to have fun, that's the point isn't it?

Peace out.

 

Got the car back today. Finally.. i'm supercharged. Took them 3 days cuz they didn't order the correct bracket. but oh well.. i got one hell of a deal. Total for everything including installation came out to $2700. I HAD to do it.

So anyways, on my butt dyno, I can really feel it in 1st, 2nd, and a little bit in 3rd gear.. 4th and 5th is normal. It feels like a totally different car. It's currently on the OEM 7lb pulley.. but next week.. i'll be putting in the 9.5lb pulley. I'll definitely try to dyno it after the 9.5 pulley install.






oh.. and the new lower priced kit for the 05-06 still has the old tamper proof cap. NOT the bolt.

 

that's it! I have to start saving up!. $2700installd ins awesome. and its legal! oh and warrantied.damn turbos!


I have a question,I drive a lot. 1yr= 22k miles.should I get the sc? '

 

Hmmm.. Ok so from what i've read so far.. the 05-06 S/C are the one's that have dropped in price..

And the 07-08's are around the same..

Right? MAybe ill just call.. lol

 

soo.........is the new lowered s/c price come with a redesigned bracket(the one that keeps breaking on everyone)?? i never found an answer to that

 

so i would still get raped for an 07?
the price drop is only for 05-06

 

BOO!!!!

 

As loyal Scion accessory customer...I've noticed (at my dealer) I pay less than what Toyota has accessories for. Never knew why until someone on here stated Toyota has special service called "Loyal parts costumer" and that helps the price decrease. They only charged me 310.00 for the taillights including tax. I remember the parts associate had to get service manager to change the price tag on them...I was so happy.

So I'm wondering if it's possible they would slash few dollars down on a S/C if you're a customer like me?

Hell, I applied for Parts Associate part time at my dealer...if hired I'll use my resources. I bet I would be the first one at my dealer who has put in a S/C?

 

because there is no way to take off the tamper proof bolt. currently. unless you weld something on or whatever.

 

What website can I get the SC for 2100? I'll just throw that ____ in myself!

 

scrap, I'm with you. how hard is the install I can get mine for just a lil over 1900 + tax

 

Where are u getting at that price? I want one now! I would say the install would be a 6 on a scale of 1 to 10. If u have done similar work before, if all you do is change oil then go to the dealer.

 

I have hook ups ! I'm gonna pm you.
I've installed my header that's all.
