Look at my setup for the EDFC also. It's mounted on the lower-left dashboard area on the coin holder and it fits nicely with no cutting, but you have to remove the coin holder.

Do they have turbo kits for the TC? I heard a SWOOSH next to this TC and he took off "screeching" at the light. Not that I was trying to street race, but everytime I'm at the stoplight some hoser is always trying to race. Well, I'm a shitty driver....I'm the type of driver that will grind first gear on a tiptronic .

Tom this is going to sound weird, but boosted are not known for great gas mileage and the scion probably doesn't handle near as good as not even the 3.

Of course Ever is a show off!!! Hey what are you doing with your current shocks??? wait... what is your current set up? lol...

I'm just messing with ya Tom, you caught on though. And if you think a Scion boosted will get hetter MPG, it won't. It won't be bad but if the car can't handle the extra speed when entering the turns, there's no reason to make it faster. Like Rob and Ever said, get a MS3 you'll be a lot happier. Or even a Civic SI, those cars aren't that bad.

Wow I missed a lot of activity here! Ever I can mount your controller no problem, but you'll have to be without your stereo for a few days. Be sure to set your AC and vents off before you do though, I left my AC on when I took mine off so I was stuck with AC on for a few days

Too much talk about Scions. Tom if you want a car with great cash mileage buy a smartcar! Or a Yaris or some random hybrid. Rob you better be joking about your MR2.
