Yippee! Compressor lag AND parasitic loss for a crappy narrow powerband that creates 40 hp over stock. Sign me up.

For $3200, I think they could do a little better than that.

you most definitly can, but if you buy an 06 and put this on it you will gain that power and still ahve the waranty covering the entire car.

Yeah..... but you'd think they could make a little more than 170 HP naturaly aspirated with a 2.4 that has variable valve timing.

I guess they just don't want little Jimmy, who has never driven before, to blow the engine the first time he tries to autocross it.

You could make more power out of that displacement if you designed the engine to rev higher. The tC engine is straight outta the Camry, Solara, RAV4 and Highlander. It's not a revver. The kit is also sold as a dealer-installed accessory for brand new cars, and as such is covered under the factory warranty. They need to be conservative enough with it that it'll be reasonably reliable even though dealers are installing it.

And gee thanks rick, that picture wasn't quite big enough!

as long as it's the equipments fault they'll cover it.

just like a factory car.


this way they can charge a premium and dont have supercharged cars sitting on the lot not going anywhere.
