Default NEED HELP!

Hey guys i am new to this whole Scion thing and i need ur help!
I currently drive a turbod eclipse but i just bought an 07 scion tc.
It has about 3k on it and it is automatic. I am planning on turboing it but i have no experience with these cars. here are some questions that i need answered...
1. can i turbo this automatic with out running into problems?
2. what is the max amount of boost i can run on stock injectors that will be safe on the motor? I also do not want to upgrade the fuel sytem or the ecu.
3. What can i use to give the car a good tune?

1. yes, at low psi levels (not above 6psi without tranny upgrades i'd say..)
2. same as above... nothing about 6psi usually
3. emanage or AEM fuel/ignition controller are your two best bets

welcome to SL!

Welcome to the boards~

1. You can turbo the autos with some low boost, but anything over 230whp presents potential for the trans to die. We sell an auto kit that pushes around 225whp at 5 PSI, and is on sale for right now at www.dezod.com

2. You're asking for problems trying to run stock injectors. These will not handle much power at all. You do not want to buy a brand new one of these 2AZFEs for the mere cost of a set of higher flowing drop in injectors that we carry for just $350.

3. You can use the GReddy E-manage, GReddy Ultimate or AEM FIC in the piggyback realm.

No. If you're trying to boost on a budget, be prepared for some headaches and problems for sure. Not a good idea. Save for the right products to get it done without headaches.
