Default YES!!! Looks like they're making a S/C for the 07s!!

I emailed TRDUSA and I wrote:

Hi, I was wondering if you guys are going to make a Supercharger that will
fit the 2007 Scion tC because I've heard several times that the current
Supercharger will not fit because of the modifications in the exhaust
manifold. If that is the case, then there should be one made for the 2007
tC as I am a member of a huge Scion forum and there are so many people that
has the 07s and they are very disappointed because they've heard of the
Supercharger fitment complications regarding the 07s. So, I was wondering
if there's any truth to this. If so, are there plans to make one that will
fit the 07?

Thanks

And they said:
It's in the works.

I know they didn't say much, but at least they're working on it! YES!

the 07 tc looks the same as the 05 and 06

Are the 07 scions available yet? I've seen some dealers which are offering 07's

why the difference in the manifold in the 07? i'm sure it was posted but whats TRDs explenation for the change? more power?

I doubt it. Maybe up to a year. It'll be worth it at the end.

I'm not sure, but several people have said it won't fit.

Just confirmed with a toyota dealer that the s/c will not fit the 07's. Lucky for us that have 05's & 06's.

okay sorry to burst your bubble 20tcdude.. but TRD always says that.. when I used to have a corolla.. they made a s/c for an 04 but when ppl with 05 asked them how about for 05s? They said ''its in the works'' that was 2 years ago... so its not comfirmed nor is it actually in the works

I thought Scions only run for 3 years then change, tC's are '04, '05, and '06 right?

Thanks for ruining my fun.

Haha, just kidding. But, it'd be a huge mistake not to. Honestly... That's like Sony stop making PS3s after a year it's release.

I hope not, because I have a Magnaflow Catback on the way. You live in COLORADO SPRINGS?!

Obviously not, as there is 04, 05, 06, and now the 07 is coming out.

The tC wasn't '04, the tC came out in '05
The tC will run till around the the 08 year, that would be about the 3/4 year run that Scion has said that they want the models to run for.

The 07 tCs have a redesigned exhaust manifold. Apparently however it is now the shaft of the current S/C will not fit.
And from what I read on another thread about the tuner tC (which has info about the 07 tC in it) the changes raise the redline a little and give it like 1 or 2 more hp.

And though I still think the 07 charger will take forever, that doesn't really mean that it won't exist, nothing is stopping scion from using the same engine setup with a different body shell.
so a charger for a future scion model could still possibly fit the 07 tCs, wether they will support it though...

The 07+ Charger will probably be scrap'd. Especially if they have to warrenty all the stock S/C's with leaks...

yeah the scion tCs came out in '05...only the xb and xa have 04's and maybe earlier than that


and in response to the supercharger convo:

i don't know why everyones all worked up about the superchargers...turbo charging is the way to go if you want the most power...so what if they don't have a s/c for the 07..slap a fat a$$ turbo on there and blow any s/c out of the water

I am guessing when they say "Its in the works.", they mean, it popped up once in a conference meeting and they slept on it.
