thats me, i live in the rochester area and no longer work for snapon, so i wont be out buffalo way much anymore
but anyways the TRD S/C is way too little power for the money…
Ive met a guy with dark blue one that lives out here in rochester running a zpi turbo kit, idk anyone in buff with a turbo tc

Yeah watch out for that TRD SC.
😉 Really though if I did it again I would go with a dezod turbo setup.
The SC takes you from ~ 140whp to ~190 whp. $1800 for ~50whp. Not great, not terrible. Throw in a BPV, 10.5lb pulley, injectors, AEM F/IC, and a bunch of other stuff and maybe we are talking.

I still think a small engine should have a turbo…

i dont know, you can get good numbers out of the celica’s 1.8 vvtl-i engine
i realize it might not be the quickest for most of you, but it’s still not bad.
[270fwhp on first tune with rotrex supercharger and stock internals](http://newcelica.org/forums/showpost.php?p=3552898&postcount=173) also keep in mind the weight of the car, with a little basic weight reduction you can get the curb weight down to 2200lbs
if i were to go fi, that would be what i’d do. but that aint gonna’ happen until after my warranty is expired, since it already replaced the engine 8000 miles ago (spun bearing)

We own a 2006 tC, which is not turbo’d. We sold an 05 tC that was turbo’d. We now have an 08 tC, which is the Dezod family, that will be turbo’d later this year and the newest edition is our 08 xB, which we pickup today. :sario:
So at this moment, in WNY, we have no shop Dezod turbo’d 2AZs. However, that is not to say it is not a customer.

My point exactly. For $4265 with fuel and engine management, our customers are turning their stock tC at 145whp to 240-275whp on 8 PSI. I just had one customer run 341whp on 10.5 PSI with our S1 kit.
