Scion TC S/c FYI

[motion sickness]

Been at my Toy. dealership for some time now and have seen a few TC's with superchargers. Driven at least two in the lot, 1 man and 1 auto. Finally got to take one on the highway. It was an auto, '08 with about 30miles on it. All it had was the S/c installed. No exhaust and it comes with the intake, injectors, and reflashed ECU. 4gs later, it sucks! What a waste of money. Had more fun driving a S/c'd Tacoma. At best it felt like a V6 Camry/Avalon/Rav4/Sienna/ES350 with less torque, but with a smoother power band, and alot less wheel spin. Even a Levin gtz has more push than it out the hole. It would really be interesting to see what the improvement would be with the exhaust and/or 5speed.

try some stickier compound tires on the front, the 2AZ is a torquier motor than the 4A found on the levin.

i think he just needs to test drive the manual and he may think differently .i saw some on the track last yr they were not bad for street cars.

Didn't have a grip problem. I wish that were the issue after adding the supercharger. Also, the S/c is set for 5psi on the TC where as the Levin's are 8psi. Its still a nice kit, but just too pricey.
