hey ive seen this on you tube before... but what i heard about turbo charging... whether it is manual or auto... the tC's engine can't handle the power that the turbo puts on it... how do i know i talked to my friend @ toyota... they installed a turbo on a tc... and the wheels were spinning @ 3rd... kinda makes me sad only kuz i wanted one! damn!
anywho for all those planning for turbo... i guess a suggestion would be to check around first to see if the tC could handle it... kuz you definately dont want to blow your tranny... from one owner to another thats the best advice i could do as a tC owner myself... dont gotta take it from me but ask around!

That tc's engine handles the power pretty damn well...
i guess it's too early to know how much the stock internals can handle...
but as far as compression is concnered, it was asking for it...
9.6:1 ratio is the same i'm running on the rx7 (n/a rotors)...
and it's been handling the 16psi i run daily...
but then again, i haven't been around pistons for a while :p

that vid gave me some inspiration :-D

Off topic, but did you guys notice that the lower part of his bumper where the lower grille is is broken?
I noticed that as well. But I was paying more attention to the engine noises...
