Pulling a random exhaust manifold off the shelf, I noticed the clean welds between the runners and flange, which in the world of turbocharging translates to a free flowing system, virtually eliminating any loss in horsepower. The GReddy SUS header-type racing manifold is by far one of the nicest in terms weld quality and design. It's up to you whether you're looking for that stealth look or are going to use a set of cutting tools to expose the efficient aluminum intercooler system, which happens to require minimal cutting of the factory bumper. Among many of the quality components sold with the GReddy kit is a Type 31 V-spec front-mounted intercooler that sits tucked away behind the front grill. Already proven with the most hardcore of vehicles, the TD05H-18G has been a long time favorite among performance enthusiasts as it's been put to the ultimate test on both the track and public highways. Sold as an intercooled, racing turbo kit, the GReddy tC kit has been rated to deliver an additional 100hp at a GReddy preset boost level of 8.5psi.ĭelivering the new-found 258hp output is a GReddy / Mitsubishi TD05H-18G turbocharger with an 8cm actuator which GReddy engineers spent long hours in research and development, ensuring tC owners would gain maximum horsepower without sacrificing drivability. GReddy looked to change the image of the Scion-badged machine in September of 2006, with the debut of their highly anticipated tC bolt-on turbo kit. Although this vehicle is a definite torque monster, the tC is not remotely close to a race car in factory trim. Powered by a stout 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine equipped with Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i), the factory 2.4-liter powerplant pumps out a respectable 158hp.

One-touch power windows, cruise control, keyless entry, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes and a factory optional TRD package which includes 18-inch wheels, a full TRD spoiler kit and a wing are among many of the reasons why the tC has been one of the most popular compact vehicles in the U.S. What's not to love about the Scion TC? Take into consideration that these vehicles are equipped with a slew of amenities along with a reasonable sticker price that's friendly to any college student's budget. How serious of a turbo kit has GReddy developed you ask? One that can kick start the factory 2.4-liter engine and boost up its rated horsepower with an additional 100hp. I noticed more and more of these soap box derby toys popping up on every freeway and thought to myself one day, "have enthusiasts, along with aftermarket manufacturers, lost our passion in building vehicles destined for high horsepower?" The same raw power that our parents and their generation were so hungry for? As if a higher source from above heard my plea, I was pleasantly surprised the following day when I receivied an e-mail from Mike Chung of GReddy USA with the heartwarming news that they had just released a new 2004-2005 Scion tC turbo kit. Turbo was installed by Tuning Tricks of Ft.So what does present day society have to offer the hardcore car enthusiasts of today? How does a vehicle that whimpers to the tone of 80hp sound to you? Unimpressed? We sure are, regardless of the fact that these "cute" looking vehicles are chugging along on our freeways, sporting a 37mpg fuel-efficient engine.
