I have a list of the mods on that tC on the Scion Underground Blog. It's most likely listed in the second newest post.

I also interviewed Dan Gardner, and he told me about a lot of the changes he made to his tC. I'll be releasing that in episode 4 of the Scion Underground Podcast.

I don't have one, my tC is turbocharged. I'm not sure how much boost Dan is making. I think he said so in the interview. I might just put the interview in this week's podcast, since he's such a point of interest lately!

Ok. Do you know any info on the intercooler? Is it's a Front mount intercooler or Top mount water to air intercooler that TRD had for the supercharger at sema show a few years back?

I think he's running both a top mount intercooler and a FMIC. The one I saw in person was definitely a top mount, but in all the recent pics I've seen, he's running that TRD intercooler that's been all hush hush lately.

Car is allowed to run 12 psi in Grand-Am. Headlights...call Kaminari...they may be able to sell you them. Stay tuned for more info on the I/C...it may just make production!

I hope so, but TRD is lame and probably won't.

I know they're composite, I was wondering if the driver side was broken. Seems a little sunken in.
