Looking to install a turbocharger for my XB....

What do the 'custom' kits use? SAFCs and other types of piggy backs. Replacing the fuel pump and adding a RRFPR can take care of any fuel issues when only running low boost.

No it wont...I have done it w/ an xB and believe me...its not as easy as changing your fuel pump...go look at my profile and see the mods I did for the fuel setup to run a simple 6 psi and it still wasnt a sure fire fix...just a half a$$ bandaid.
ok well by the looks of it i wont be getting a turbocharger for my xb, in january i will be getting me an RSX Type S or the SI i am more leaning towards the RSX looks sexier than the otherer car the SI i mean. Because for my sisters birthday i shall be givin her my car and i will still be in the scion evolution and keep in touch with other fellow scioners
Just out of curiousty how much though would it cost to install a turbocharger or supercharger in an xb???

well, you could do it half a$$ and buy the TSI kit and it will only cost you about $2800 for the kit...but like I said, thats the half a$$ way. If you install it the right way with the proper upgrades to the fuel system and getting proper gauges and everything else to support the drastic change, your around $4000 installed by yourself now on the high side(including a turbo back exhaust and many more extras as well as dyno tuning)

It looks to be a direct bolt-on, turbos tend to be more complicated on the installs.
The cheapest I've seen the Blitz is $2850, allot of $$$ for 50(?) horsepower, but would make for one interesting box.... :D

When I installed the Radix on the SS it was a complete kit, bolt in and turn key.
I did have to add an auxiliary fuel pump.
The last thing you want is the 6.0 liter to go lean under boost.
I have 3 tuned PCMs (ECU), work/towing, racing, and street.
Whatever the mood I just swap boxes...
I'm not familar yet with whats involved with the Biltz but if it's a bolt-on like the Magnacharger the kinks could be sorted out with a good tuner.
I'm just doing the thought process, there are a few things lingering in the back of my mind.
