Default BOOST....but which direction?(UPDATED)

I am new to SL and a good friend of mine told me to sign up here. I am looking to go FI on my 08 tc. I am familiar with a few of the turbo kits available, however I do not know, the pros and cons to kits such as dezod, turbonetics and greddy. I was initially considering purchasing the supercharger but I heard countless people at meets complaining about it. Any input from current turbo tc owners would be greatly appreciated. Also for those of you who are already boosted, could you please list the pros of your particular kit vs. the others. Thanks


UPDATE: Sorry for taking so long to reply to everyones post. I was in NY for the week and just arrived home late last night. As of right now I am on the fence. I am stuck between 3 kits. PTuning, TT and Dezod. It seems as though in terms of reliability, dezod would have the edge but if I am looking for bigger performance I should steer more towards TT or Ptuning. All posts are welcome.

Thanks for the responses. I have most definately heard about ZPI and their situation. However I will browse through the classified section and check the different listings of turbo kits. Right now its a 3 way race between dezod, turbonetics and sciontc07 zpi turbo kit

Go big or go home, with my stuff you can look most anything and tell them to bring it and woop the dog shyt out of them lol... But seriously if you're going bolt on, Ptuning's new SS kit is about the closest setup to wat I build and would be the one I recommend. But TT and Dezod are both very good bolt on kits.

go big or go home?

you can easily go big w/ any of those kids, just dont purchase the turbo,

i have a 60-1 just like you....and that turbo goes well w/ any of those flanges, and no offense but the manifolds by dezod, TT, and ptuning perform better than the top mount turbo manifold you run.

not saying top mounts dont make power......

i prefer bottom mounted, dont like to force exhaust gas down to go back up. no point. and why have that hot turbo so close to the hood. most people iv seen w/ top mounts have cracked, i have a cast iron, they dont perform as well as the Dezod, TT, or ptuning manifolds but itll still make power, but most likely last 2x as long. me n a buddy of mine turbo'd our tC's round the same time and his dezod mani recently cracked & my cast irons still holding up strong w/ no warp
