Do you have any video of yours? I'd love to check it out bro, but I'm out of state on business. Been in Oregon for 4 months working on a semi long term contract for a customer up here. I'm going to check out @PERRIN sometime this week and see what they have on their showroom car. Wish I could make it to nopi though, bet the 86/zed's are going to be in full show! Take pics, hopefully someone will post a pic thread of it.

There are some pics in my build thread. Hope to have some videos soon when the turbo gets tuned up.

From what I have read it seems like the burden of proof is on the dealer to prove your aftermarket parts damaged the car. Just having them doesn't void your warranty. But you also have to accept the risks of modding your car. If your turbo blows up your engine, its your fault and not scions or Subaru's.

He quoted me $4400 for the kit and $700 labor to install it.

Yeh TRD SC is def not 4400.. That is crazy. its def you must buy 2 and its over 50k. I would get a Turbo charger that gives you a warranty. Just because you get a turbo charge doesnt mean your whole warranty is voided. your are still good for suspension, and everything else. Just not the most expensive part(the engine) I always look at the warrantys of aftermarket parts. some are better than the toyota warranty. like my Stance coilovers.

Oh I got something alright. I had to take a break on the car for a few months actually.

@pixel67 I just dropped my car off at Topspeed for some work and I saw your car there, they were tuning it on the dyno. They've got 2 turbo 86's in house now lol.

pixel67 · 09-21-2013, 08:56 AM

Hope to pick it up today. Didn't know they were tuning it already!

As you're getting yours done, I'm getting my turbo rebuilt lol. I blew the seals right off the bastard

pixel67 · 09-21-2013, 12:10 PM

False alarm. Not being picked up today as they don't have a tech working on a Saturday to finish it up. It wasn't being tuned yet...
