I have been talking w/ a good friend of mine w/ a 2005 Scion tC RS1 and he's currently boosted on a stock Auto Transmission. He is in the process of swapping out his transmission to a manual and he told me I should boost mine as well.

I came across this kit from PTuning that I am considering buying at some point in the future: http://www.ptuning.com/ht...Trans%2E&ModelDesc=tC

My friend suggested to me that I get a Trans-Cooler and an Oil-Cooler. In order for me to get a complete tune, I would either have to drive to PTuning in VA which is roughly 6 hrs away from me, or drive to Rochester, NY to Dezod for a tune. I am not looking for anything crazy, just a nice, smooth and reliable turbo that I can have some fun with. I am also considering hiding the inter-cooler behind my lower grille for more of a stealthy look. My friend had mentioned to me to have the inter-cooler sent out and have it anodized and wrapping the turbo in heat wrap.

I don't know all there is to know about F/I, but for those on here that do, if anyone has any suggestions on what I can do, please feel free to speak up. The one thing that does concern me is break downs and stalling.

How much maintenance up keep is needed w/ F/I? Is it completely necessary that I upgrade my Tanabe exhaust to a 3'' exhaust? I know I will need a stand alone or a piggy back unit, what will work best for me? Lastly, its been my understanding that an auto can handle 6-9 psi on stock internals safely, is this correct?

The mirror as a whole is fine. I took a photo off of google to maybe help show what im talking about and edited it.Attachment 3244

I cracked the clear plastic part at Letter A, where you would see the light flash if you had the turning signal turned on. I also cracked part of B, which ive tried googling and it seems as if this is called the cover? i drew two lines to help show the line where the cover meets the rest of the mirror and a line to show the surface of the cover itself. Im hoping someone can help direct me to where i can find just the cover and the clear plastic cover for a LEFT SIDE (DRIVER SIDE) MIRROR. Any help and suggestion would be greatly appreciated. If an actual photo of MY mirror is required please let me know and i will find a way to get this photo posted for you guys to see.

I forgot to mention that the parts mentioned above, are for an 08 Black Sand Pearl Tc.

P.S- my editing skills are lacking.

This past wednesday I went and replaced all four of my tires and got an alignment done...everything went gravy to my knowledge until I was told that my axle was torn, in which i think they meant my CV boot....they told me it wasn't that bad yet and if i wanted to replace it i could but as he stated "its not making noises" yet...

the next day as i was driving to work, my car started to act funny, first i heard squeaking in the tires as I was making a right turn and as I hit the free way driving at 60 mph the car started to shake ..........the steering wheel shook horribly and even as i slowed down it shook continuously for a good 30 seconds...I didnt think too much of it although i should have

two days later driving the same speed it happened again...only this time i heard a whoosing sound of some sort coming from my left driver side front wheels...sorry not car suave here so is it my cv boot or my axle?

please help!!! :( ]]> Member Support moneystc http://www.club-tc.com/forums/member-support/9260-cv-boot-axle-answers-please.html Clutch http://www.club-tc.com/forums/member-support/9259-clutch.html Sat, 28 Jan 2012 23:54:57 GMT Hey,guys I have a 06 turbo tc and I was told that it can have an stock clutch kit so I put one on their but now I have trouble with it Im having a hard time shifting into 1st & 3rd gear I would like to know what's the cause of this???? ]]> Member Support Vwhitt http://www.club-tc.com/forums/member-support/9259-clutch.html Scion tC RS1 Carbon Fiber Front Lip http://www.club-tc.com/forums/paint-body/9258-scion-tc-rs1-carbon-fiber-front-lip.html Wed, 25 Jan 2012 04:15:37 GMT Image: http://www.racingsolution.com/images/detailed/0/rs1_cf_frontsides.jpg *Store Link:* Image: http://www.racingsolution.com/images/orderbutton.gif (http://www.racingsolution.com/scion/tc/exterior-1/scion-tc-rs1-carbon-fiber-front-lip.html) *Description:* The all new RS1 Carbon Fiber...

Now, my car won't start. I checked the battery and of course, to make things just that much more easy on me, it was dead. I used another battery (charged) and the engine started to turn over but kinda felt like it couldn't quite get going. I added a little gas and it basically started but died out the second i stopped pushing in the gas pedal. I double checked the vacuum hoses and didn't see any loose ends. I also still have to bleed out the clutch line so i can get more pressure on the pedal, but besides that, I'm stuck..Any thoughts? ]]> Engine Performance twoinchesmo http://www.club-tc.com/forums/engine-performance/9256-starting-issue-after-clutch-repair.html How to Replace Oxygen Senson in 2007 Scion Tc http://www.club-tc.com/forums/engine-performance/9255-how-replace-oxygen-senson-2007-scion-tc.html Mon, 23 Jan 2012 17:31:37 GMT Can anyone tell me where the O2 sensor is on the 2007 Scion Tc?
