A call to WORLD Motorsports in Torrence, CA put us on the path to having one of their 2011 Scion tC Turbocharger Bolt On & Go kits being installed. The kit is put together by Descendant and features a turbo, all the piping, wiring, a wastegate, intercooler and even an AEM F/IC controller as well as Deatsch Werks 750cc injectors. We took the tC to the WORLD Racing office in Redding, PA for the install. The kit was thoroughly tested during development, so the install went smoothly. We tried to convince them we needed a Rado-spec front spoiler, but they suggested a little more boost was going to be required before that could happen.

At the heart of this build is the Sony entertainment system. A full gamut of Sony speakers, amplifiers, subwoofers and huge TV now occupy the space previously assigned to rear passengers and cargo storage. The car went to 20Hz Audio Sound & Security for the audio install. The interior was stripped to run wiring and install Hushmat Ultra sound deadening. The rear seats were removed to make way for a pair of subwoofer enclosures and the amp rack. Eight Sony 10-inch subwoofers flank a quartet of Sony monoblock amplifiers – their total power output is an impressive 2,400 Watts. The amp rack and enclosures are finished in dark grey suede and trimmed with grey vinyl panels. Permitting the fl ow of electrons through the system are Stinger HPM cables and distribution blocks. A pair of 1 Farad Stinger HPM capacitors helps to ensure the system stays tight when being cranked on. Hovering above the amp rack, bolted to a custom steel bracket is a 32-inch Sony BRAVIA® LCD TV. This is connected to a Sony PlayStation®3 that is located at the front of the amp rack. The PS®3 is equipped with a complete PlayStation® Move Motion bundle. Heading up the audio system is a Sony XN-V770BT Audio Video Navigation receiver complete with iPod interface, TomTom navigation and Bluetooth hands-free. Flanking the TV is a pair of Sony 6.5-inch coaxial speakers
that ensure whoever is enjoying the PS®3 can hear all the action. A Sony XA-R800C rear vision camera was mounted above the TV to let the driver see who’s lurking behind the vehicle.

Scion has always embraced the aftermarket community. All of their dealers are equipped with an extensive list of optional accessories like wheels, suspension components, audio and styling upgrades. With such a tuner-friendly philosophy, Scion was the perfect partner for this build.
