You just might be seeing my tC in the near future. I have been looking at property West Tarrant and Parker Counties. Should be moved by this summer. Your 45 minuted from Jotech in Garland. You should swing by there. You can meet Kenny during the week (race season). He can really give you all the info that you need. Watch out for Tony, he is the master guru salesman. He will have you walking out with a trunk load of stuff!
Tell him that Scott sent you and get a free toothpick.

def a turbo, i'm guessing you are planning on getting the trd supercharger and i've heard that it breaks down.

[ScIoN_mAn]

yeah i was planning on the trd s/c and really it breaks down first time i hear that

[TBITB]

it has it's issues - more so on the older tCs i believe. but it is under warranty so whatever happens to it (as long as u didnt modify it) the dealer will replace it

It really depends on what sort of performance you are looking out of it...

I mean a supercharger is nice, but the upgradability is sorta limited... Yes you can run different exhaust setups, fab an intake manifold and tb, and even change the pulley, but the supercharger is still going to be the same, so you're sorta limited...

Now w/ a turbo every aspect of it can be changed, from manifold, to piping, to the meat of the unit - the turbo...

Of course, w/ a turbo comes a money trap... W/ tuning and everything you're going to spend a nice chunk of $$, but well worth it...

And as they say "Don't boost on a budget"

And for the SC, Ive read the bearing issues were only on the 05-06 ones, and that the 07+s were good to go... I could be wrong though, Im a turbo guy!

[ScIoN_mAn]

well thanks for the advice and as far as the performance wise im looking for like topend speed cuz most of my races are on freeway i dont like to race off the lunch thats much because you mess up a lot of parts on your car faster then just shifting it down and punching it but i dont know i guess i got to think aboit it good and then go for it

racing off the lunch could cause indigestion and heartburn as well!
