For those of us that buy just the intake will you have the intercooler for sale by itself as well?

thank you for listening.

I want performance with out the fear of totalling my car on a 5mph hit just coz i dont have bumper supports/foams/etc.

can we get a ballpark $$$$ ? im broke. i need to know if im going to eat tommorow ?

bieng awake when everybody should be sleeping i have a question

what are the plans with the stock bpv ? since you said its bolt-on for the enduser; will u be using a universal flange with a 1" adapter to fit the bpv so owners will have the option on running branded bpv/bov/5050's such as greddy/turboxs/hks/etc ?

This is exciting! I am interested in possibly buying intake seperate from IC and adding theIC when I can. It all depends on price.

YES and NO we are actually working with some Forge to use there BPY or Racing valves with our kit. You will be able to use the stock piece or a upgrade valve option...

As long as you can make the S/C have some noise to it, everyboddy it seems wants a BOV or a whine...

you will definitely get noise out of the Forge, especially if you are running more than 7 psi...paired with an intake it will be noticable between shifts outside of the car.

Is it possible to have the SC and the FMIC and still keep a low-profile engine sound?

I'm seriously considering the SC and anything that would add a few ponies under the hood (pullies, FMIC) would be nice as well, but I'd really like to make my tC look and sound like a total sleeper.

This kit sounds good to me. I'd like to keep my factory fog lights. I can't wait to see the final product.

Please oh please keep the current design of the FMIC. Bigger isn't always better and Different = more expensive. Besides, I have the Factory Fogs.

I kinda like the small FMIC, it's to the point and we get to keep everything OEM underneath that bumper (almost). Putting the Scion tC on the map... one day and more parts @ a time!

its already quiet. if you want to be sleeper all the way, painting the ic black would be nice too. injen offers ic in black i believe

I have always painted IC black on the front, polish the tops, looks good at shows, sleeper on the way there

I also prefer recirc BOVs and Waste gates without open dump.

I want to have power for the fun of using it which you can get away with more if not so loud or standing out;)

you would actually loose x amount of pressure after aftercooling it. this is because it will take more effort to pressurized the pipings aside from other factors.

as far as stock internals i dont know how much it can hold, but in reference you can look at jotechs tC just to get an idea what it takes to get X amount of power from the engine.

on the 9psi that our pullies offer you will be safe on the stock internals. The intercooler only adds to that safety region.
