You didn't even attempt to do a search did you?
You will find the answer quite easily if you look in the F/I section. TRD is no longer making the supercharger, so you're options are used or turbo. A lot of people were not happy with the TRD design, due to weak bearings or poor install (with the long drive shaft, if it isn't mounted straight it will wear quickly).
If you want a turbo, talk to Paul from Dezod or Mike from PTuning. Be prepared to spend $4k-$5k for the kit, install and tuning.

I've looked at the zpi, the turbonetics, greddy, the dezod, and the ptuning kits but what I guess I meant with this post was people who have a turbo on their 07 a/t to give me some advice. What like and don't like about their set ups.
Thanks for the help.. I'll look more into the dezod and ptuning kits though. I figured I'd spend like 5k for one.

probably the best kit to buy would be Ptuning's, the next in line would be dezod and TurboToyotas
but since u are a/t the safest hp possible would be 250whp...even w/ those #s if u push your car...it will result in messing up the tranny.
the way to handle more power would be either get your tranny rebuild or swap for a manual transmission.
btw my tc is auto too, and i plan on swapping tranny for a manual when i go turbo!
good luck!

Thanks man. I'll definately check out the ptuning kit and the dezod kit more than I have. I've been thinking about trading in my tc for a 350z or a g35 . Idk why such thoughts have crossed my mind.

others have suggested great companies to look at. dezod is legit and has been around and are a very well received company in the tC community. turbo toyotas also has a solid following. ptuning is another great one. imho, you cant go wrong with any of those three.
best advice is to read read read and then ask questions.

How far are you from Greensburg PA? Paul from dezod will be in that area to tune my car on the 22nd this month. If you want good solid no bullcrap answers come talk to him face to face and he will let you know what to do exactly... as far as going F/I definetly Dezod, TurboToyotas, and PTuning best out there for customization, customer support, and best fitment.

TURBO TOYOTAS FTW !!!! seriously man search. I see this same thread once a week. Ptuning is good to though. TT has been doing things longer and has sold more kits. Plus todd is a good guy and will help you out for sure if you get stuck on something. just my personal experience though. This will get locked fast though.

all i asked was someone to give me pros and cons of turbo kits they have.. thats it. im in the market to buy one and have looked at the dezod, ptuning, and tt kits but cant decide on one.
you guys really are making this out to be about me being a noob bc i stated that in my post.
ive wanted to turbo the tc since i bought it new in 06, ive been reseaching. only problem is i travel for work for 8 months and cant be home to actually do anything to the tc until then.

no one is pointing fingers bud it just happens alot on here and unfortunately people will start to become stern with questions and comments that pertain to finding information by using the search button i hope no hard feelings in all. If any consolidation my 08 manual tC is Turbocharged by dezod and i have a couple of other buddies who are as well and one of them is an automatic and he loves it. PTuning is good too Mike^^ (ElevationtC) has nothing but great things to say about them and so do I.
