Naturally a Turbonetics kit would help on that end. If you further tuned the car aside from the Turbonetics base tune you should be able to get more but as it is the Turbonetics kit would give you about 245 WHP and 260 ft/lb of tq at 8 PSI on pump gas.

Thx very much for the reply. I have recently considered trading my 05 in for an 08 so i can get the 5-speed. does anyone know here if the 18" rims that you can get from scion affect the performance of the car or know of any known problems with these rims. I know that wasnt a turbo question, but i would like to know if there is a turbo kit for the 08 model?

At this time there is no kit for either the 2007 or 2008 scions. The MAF sensor and the unichip we have is only for the 04-06. The later models have different plugs on the harness where the unichip would be connected. The scion platform has been very popular so we are indeed taking a closer look at the later models.
