would love love love an sti turbo version over a supercharger
|
One way they can try to enforce it to be unique to the FR-S is to only sell the kit according to VIN.
|
would love to see this thing get some factory boost, especially since it'll be covered under warranty. all TRD parts are covered under warranty, right?
edit: i think i'd prefer to see a supercharger because of linear power. but that's just me sorry, i'm on meds because of sickness, and mind is a little slower than usual right now. |
sorry, I cant remember the last TRD product I found NOT overpriced or Underperforming aftermarket...

Actually it has already been made...I just came back from SEMA (was part of the Scion To SEMA group) and this car was revealed there and was announced it had the first actual production version of the TRD supercharger in it. No performance numbers were given nor the hood was never opened...

oooooo what's the yellow car on the right :eyebulge:

posted this in the other thread
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adoB1lRBoRc"]SEMA Scion FRS Unveiling - YouTube[/ame] fast-forward to ~ 6:35 mark and at 6:45 he specifically says it will also be developed for the masses to use on the streets. |
So this would be like the TRD door stabilizers and intake sound changers that I already have for my BRZ?
Good luck to TRD if they manage to keep a blower to themselves that can actually make more powa and have factory fit/finish. I would assume that as soon as it goes live, if it does, there's gonna be a hailstorm of orders for the part from all BRZ, FR-S and 86 owners interested. Meh. Another rumor to add to the multitude of "source" rumors. |

I 100% agree a great example is the big brake kit..hmm $10k or $2-3K for other brands. I feel like people who are buying the TRD items are just buying the name brand and maybe the factory warranty in some cases. There are turbo kits out already for roughly $4-5K. So if I were to guess I bet that the TRD kit will be around $10-15K |
twiiiiiiiinnnnn scrooooolllllll :eyebulge:
Too bad it'll cost me my first born, so vortech it is. |
Supercharger?
Here's a boring picture of a silver FR-S instead. lol. |
