Default Any Turbo Scion TC Running Around?

I just bought my wife a Scion TC. Only bad part is it is auto. I have plans to rebuild tranny to shift alot quicker with a new Torque converter and valve body from Level Ten. I am looking to getting her car at least in the high 12's low 13's. I was trying to talk her into getting this 94 RX-7 with a auto and a LS-1 that was up for sale on the RX-7 club forums, but she did not want nothing used. I on the other hand will probably be starting a new project and buying a used RX-7 for around $5000-$9000 and converting it's engine into a LS2 from a 2006 GTO. I have priced the tranny and engine with 23,000 on it for $5995. Hopefully stock I will break 11's easy. I guess I will have to put my Lightning to the side right now. Hoping to break 12's with it by the end of the summer. Already at 13.6 stock, so the summer upgrades should do the job.

Use to have one about a year and a half ago. Was one of the few ones running around VA at the time. Car was very torquey but the car itself is very heavy. I was pushing about 10psi at the time and making close to 300whp. Just remember the ring lands are very weak on that motor. Are you building the setup yourself? I might have a few contacts still available from back then.

Best place to get a turbo for your tC ... Guy has been working on a custom kit since the tC came out basically. It's a pretty bad ass kit too. I'd recommend him. He built one of the better turbo kits for the 01+ Civic. Used his own car to beta test configurations on. Made 165whp and 142lb/ft torque on a AT D17. Pretty impressive I'd think.

There's a DARK red/marron TC turbo in the Richmond/West End area. Saw it at the 7-11 in Short pump, it was awesome!
