k, first off...to set the record straight...Scion's do NOT use turbo's nor supercharger's on their cars....as of yet. Seeing as how these are the 1st generations. Also...I seriously doubt Toyota would make an engine, mate a turbo to it and only get 150 hp out of it, so re-think that. Next...the amount of aftermarket equipment out for the tC's are very limited, but the ones that are out are VERY expensive...and not everybody has that kind of money to spend...hence the DIY section of HAN, 
. Just tell skoopa if it's do-able or not.

Sorry about that. Back when they first introduced the tC, they said it came with a turbocharged engine. I guess they changed their minds. I checked and it does come with a 2.4L DOHC engine but the best it could do was 160 hp. Same difference in my book.

yeah, that's for the Solara...but we're talking about the SCION tC's...k? Keep with the program. All you have to do is visit www.scion.com and see that they don't have any optional forced induction equipment. It's not that hard to go and look instead of making assinine remarks. :madfawk:

What makes you think I would waste my time looking up the specs for a hideously ugly, underpowered, overpriced piece of garbage? I would rather be ignorant because whether it is turbocharged or just a larger engine, my point is still proven.

I drive a 2005 scion tC, 2.4L engine (same engine as a 00ish camry and possibly a gts <im still looking into that>)
