Sure, the tC engine can take 400hp and still run like a champ, but honestly, for how long? I'd be a bit cautious of anything near 300hp or more in the long run. That's just me though.
yea i mean id love to get 300 hp, but won't risk hurting it since its my first new car and am thnkful I got it.
So rite now the stge 0 Price wise and hp wise seems like the smartes bet if i don wanna overload my engine.
Id be tempted to get the stge 1, but worry its gonna end the life of my car sooner than if i go stge 0. Have many ppl strtd to put turbo chargers ont heir cars, cuz all i hear ppl puttin on is the trd s/c.

Alot of people are putting on the TRD s/c because it doesn't void their warranty... these cars are brand new after all! Whatever you decide to go with, turbo or s/c, I'm sure you will be plenty happy with any of these kits :D Stephen
