The tC is actually slower than the Si, but, TRD makes a supercharger for the tC. A Toyota salesman said they'll have a factory installed supercharger for 2006 tCs.
Yes, but at $4500 for a supercharger (+ stealership installation to keep the precious warranty), you're looking at RSX Type-S territory where you can get 210hp NA (as opposed to 200hp with the blower). And the RSX is like 200 lbs lighter IIRC.

I must admit, the tC is a good car for the money...but I just hate scion. I'm looking forward to the new Si crushing it.

I'm thinking a 2.4L engine + blower with an upgraded pulley could be a lot of fun. I don't know much about the Tc engine other than it's a Camry engine, but can they withstand forced induction?

The camry engine can handle the boost. There are multiple examples of 300+ hp blown tcs on the web.

The TC is known for having dubious handling though.
