TRD TurboCharger coming out next year for tC!
The tC will make around 300hp with the turbocharger. I was told that the turbo will come with the intercooler and everything and will cost you around 4grand. I work at Toyota/Scion dealer and this is what we know so far...thought i share it with yall!

Re: TRD TurboCharger coming out next year for tC!
Can you provide more information? I have yet to see that on http://www.yoursciontc.com - there's been discussion lately about another brand introducing their turbo, so you may want to bring this up there

Re: TRD TurboCharger coming out next year for tC!
Yeah, I think NerveAgent is right, 300hp sounds a little too unrealistic for a car under 22g's. It should be 200 hp. And man is the tC going to be a hotter car. The supercharger is another reason why I'm goin to get one.

Re: TRD TurboCharger coming out next year for tC!
i'm feeling this is a huge lie. first of all: 300 hp in a front-drive car is just stupid. there's no way around that fact. the only way you'll be able to use that power is passing people on the highway. you can't plant that kind of power on a front wheel drive car from a dig, it's useless. wheelspin city through 3rd gear. plus, who are they kidding with putting out a turbo kit for the tc? turbo's lag, and that would upset the autox community very much. the avensis chassis works wonderfully for giving the tc pretty agile handling with the right tires; turbo's lagging through cones would surely aggrivate the auto enthusiasts trying to tackle any corner.
300 hp? yea... that's the second most rediculous thing i've ever heard. the first is being that 500 hp tc... the blue nitto-sponsored one... ...300hp... lol, oops, 2 year old thread. goes to show you people don't come here for scion knowledge.

Re: TRD TurboCharger coming out next year for tC!
yea, i also work at a scion dealership, very close to scion HQ, and i can tell you now, that no order type of forced induction is being researched and developed for the tC. Everything you are hearing is just a rumor.
As for turbos lagging, that depends on the size of the turbo, and the size of the charge piping, there are turbo kits out for the tC right now that hit max boost before 3k RPMs, hell, the supercharger doesnt hit max boost till redline, but thats for obvious reasons.
