Default Turbo on tc

hey i'm kinda new to this whole forum thing but i was trying to search around for a high quality turbo kit for the 08 tc i know that when i get one i have to get other goodies to help the car like a clutch but i need some good insider info on what would be the best turbo kit that is not too pricey and does not turn the car into a ticking time bomb

thx in advance

the choice is clear turbo toyotas for the mother effin win

got basic kit with the fic and harness you will love the result

here is a link
you get the sexiest manifold alive and its not a log manifold like almost every other kit

give us a price range on how much you are lookng too spend and how much hp you would like too make. that would narrow down things on peoples suggestions. i would recoomend either Dezod or Turbo Toyotas. Both great companies and make great kits. Turbo Toyotas has a basik kit thats pretty inexpensive, but like i said it depends on what you are looking for. I have the dezod S1 kit by the way and i love it.

ohh ill have to look into that it sounds good if that is what everyone else is doing and getting good results but i had another pretty pathetic question .... in the 08 tc everyone prob knows that there is a lag when you shift gears but i was wondering if there was a way to disengage the vvt-i because im trying to get used to the car and apparently the car is trying to get used to me so is there a trick im not getting or when i get a new clutch is the lag gonna go away ?
