Conclusion
The TC responded well to our three modifications and its noticeable improvements in acceleration can be felt on the street. With peak power output symmetrical and a flatter torque curve, this Scion pulls smooth throughout its power band. However, lacking a proper fuel management tune, one can conclude that more power could be extracted from these bolt-ons. With a new tC arriving in 2011 and rumors circulating of a possible RWD configuration and boxer engine, the tC looks to remain a staple of the tuning scene well into the next decade.
