I just have to say, anyone that hasn't ridden in a TNs Boosted tC, must do it. It really drives like the car came with 300HP from the factory!!! It's a beautiful thing.

I was referring to the 12.49 or 12.52 runs that i seen on their site...it appeared they had front slicks, but i couldnt tell anything else, and the kit claims no internals need to be upped. So i was wondering if thats a mid-12 car on all stock stuff?...if so, thats awesome!

I agree 100% on the low 13's with drag radials and high 12's with slicks with good track conditions. I ran my car 2 weeks ago when I won the street modified class at Raceway park in Englishtown NJ. It was about 20 degrees, windy and freezing out. Track conditions sucked bigtime. I had my BFG drag radials on the car and could only pull 2.4-2.5 60ft times. I still pulled a 13.7 @ 105mph with a 2.5 60ft time. The kit is the ****

The MPH says it all about how well the car runs. My car also weighed in at a scale topping 3200lbs. I had all my tools and crap inside the car because my boy flaked out on me at the last minute

heres a DUMBASS question, but just something that i was trying to tell myself to justify this purchase, on a car i dont even own yet.

Say i put it on, and within the standard warranty the engine tweaks out due to the turbo...what are the odds of me putting it back to stock and not getting caught?

thats the MAIN thing stopping me right now is voiding the warranty...i know i sound like a sissy but ive already had one car that i fully customized while still under warranty, and i need this one to be a STRONG daily driver for atleast 4 years...

If you did turbo your car and then took it off - Toyota found out they could take yo a$$ to court

Yes, just make sure the coating you use does not stop the heat transfer... Anything with a Thermal barrier could interfere with how the intercooler performs...

Ahhh, gotcha, I am not an coating specialist, do you have a local coater that you could ask? What a search on Google.com about the Anodizing process?

Sorry my response was vague...
