Default Looking for a TURBO KIT for your Scion?

Hey guys and gals it has been about a month now since I got my Scion tC turbo charged and a lot has happened. We got through the break in period nicely I have already put almost 2k miles on my tC with the turbo on. The shop made some adjustments as some of the IC hoses came off and on of the little flanges had a small oil leak. These things have been fixed and the prototype is no longer a prototype.

If you are looking to get a turbo on your scion please give my good friend bob a call.

He is still interested in sponsoring an xA and xB.

As for another turbo tC he will do it but only one got sponsored and that was me hehe, however if you are seriosu about getting one please give him a call and tell him you know josh and that you want a Turbo on your tC tell him about getting you a better price in exchange for publicity.

You can reach bob at 818 994 7087. Thanks to all and for the record my car spanks it has been left at 8psi and it hauls azZ! Dont believe me? ask the S2000 I had to spank due to his disbelief in my little scion. :twisted:

Yea the fitting was leaking and as for the downpipe on the tuurbo hes changing it to a nice curved flow down pipe without that stop and go corner hehe.

The car was runing real sweet though its real fast.

Call Bob he says that he is going to sell the kit near to 4grand if not more but tell him we are in the same club or something and see if he cuts you a break!

Yea I know about the Partial Sponsorship with the xB and xA's.

I got hooked up so that was cool but the next ones were going to be a semi sponsorship. Still beats paying for the factory supercharger or even a full priced aftermarket turbo kit

Where are the pics and dynos and such? This car had to have been on the dyno at least for 30+ runs while tuning and tweaking was going on. There has to be something to post. =)

Why do you care to raise the BS flag, I have a turbo on my xB, you want to raise the flag on me too?

WELL YOU ARE BEING A DICK! Go to the Novemeber meet pictures on the forums main page if you check out the pics there are pictures of my scions turbo on there. I havent dynoed the car for one reason. The Turbo kit is new on my car and I am supposed to break it in before I can go boost happy gunning my motor. You think it makes any sense to gun my motor with the turbo just to blow it to find out how much power its putting out. Some people are just so ignorant.

If you really want to find out about my car call the shop owner and ask him do you have josh's scion tC there and did you make the changes. He has my car till today or saturday morning. I cant pick it up till the weekend because I work monday through friday and hes in van nuys im in ventura county. OK if you still want more proof ask the guys that posted on here talking about it some of them saw my car at a meet.

LMAO you know what whatever this doesnt matter I bet I could smoke more than half the fools talking crap on here! :twisted:
