Scion tC Turbocharger Kits
From SCION-TECH : The Scion Resource : tC, xA, xB, xD
The Scion tC car is very popular amongst tuners these days. One of the first things that tuners want to do is get more power and there is no shortage of ways to do that using one of the available Scion tC turbo kits. These turbo kits are bolt on solutions for the lacking power of the stock four cylinder engine of the Scion tC. many of the kits include all of the components you need to get up to speed and become more competitive at the track, on the dyno, or on the streets.
There is no faster way to improve the performance of your Scion tC than by adding a turbo kit. The different sizes and complexities of these turbo kits let Scion tC owners pick the kits that are best suited for their tastes, budgets, and power goals. While some kits are complete solutions, other turbo kits come as tuner kits in which case you usually need to supply some of your own components such as fuel system and engine management amongst other things.
The nature and size of te Scion tC's inline 4 cylinder engine drives all of the turbo kits to be single turbo. You will not find a twin turbo kit for your Scion since it is not practical or necessary.
