Why ask a question about the potential of a car that does not benefit from being N/A? You take the platform for what it's capable of and use the route that it's best suited for and for the tC, that's F/I. The motor has 9:6.1 compression stock. So, it's exactly opposite of the way honda's are. Most factory performance Honda's are High compression, High reving, low torque. tC is pretty low compression (imo), lower rpm, more torque for the low end. I would not run that much boost on an SI with how high the compression is in it already, that's just my opinion and am not stating that it will blow up or anything, just my own preference.
IF I was a Honda fan, and had a Honda, I would want to run it N/A'ed, and take advantage of the way the motor is setup from the factory to perform (high compression, high reving). For the tC to take advantage of the way it's motor (2az-fe) is setup from the factory, you turbo it and skip 13's all together...
I like to think of myself as an automotive enthusiast, and see cars for what they are, and how to get the best from them. So, I'm not dissing on anyone with an SI, even though some continue to act immature about a simple debate.
