You waste alot of money on those mods if you plan to go turbo in the future.

[seppuku27]

You wasted your money with the "ignition stabalizer" and you will waste your money with the "high performance coils". Should have went with a CAI instead of SRI because you are not sucking in hot air instead of colder air. XA cat won't work.

The oil didn't make your car faster or anything. And the spark plugs were a waste also.

Just so you know bolting on a lot of parts isn't going to make your car faster. It can actually hurt more than help. Trying to go fast N/A with bolt-ons isn't going to get you far. Before you spend anymore money do some research to find out actually what helps (dynos not peoples butt dynos).

just get a turbo and port and polish the head and ballance the block.... you can revv higher and have a much smoother power band.... gluck

That will cost you more in the long run then just going turbo charged and the powers on/off not all the time like a turbo/supercharger.

With All The Stuff You Put On Already Going Turbo Would Just Be A Waste Of Money

I disagree. The money spent on the mods you currently have would be wasted, but a turbo set-up is the best bang for your buck if you are looking at increasing the performance of your engine.

You've got to be kidding us. All the stuff he has on there ads up to maybe 170 hp at the flywheel. Going turbo would net him over 230 easy. Big difference.

The 230 is wheel hp* so it would be alot more at the crank.

[marty2495]

yes but what i meant to say was that if he goes turbo the stuff he has on now would go to waste.

[seppuku27]

People would buy what he has on there so he would make some money back.

any header recommendations for an 08? and does this definitely set off the cel?

[crazysol]

Sounds like you know what to do.

Use the search button and look up header. Also, go on Scion Life and do the same. You should see a bunch of posts on the different header set-ups people have and their comments/opinions as well as whether or not they had CEL issues. I know that the DC header caused CEL with the tC's and you had to either buy the CEL eliminator from Weapon-r or go to autoparts store and buy two antifouling plugs (drill 1/2" hole through one plus, thread the plug with hole onto normal plug, plug normal into o2 bung and then thread the o2 sensor into the antifouler with the hole).

I'd say go with the basics and add the nitrous

[Padanky]

I have the:
Fujita CAI
NST Lite Crank Pulley
Strup Header
Full eBay exhaust
eBay CEL eliminator, works on and off.

I'm happy and done with the engine bay and performance mods.
