I know that ptuning is the top of the line turbo kit but what does it have thats better than the dezod?

 

What makes Mercedes better than BMW or vice versa?

Its all a matter of personal preference.

either way u go, its a guaranteed win. ive never dealt w the guys at ptuning, but i have dealt with paul @ dezod and imho, his customer service, and knowledge is fantastic. both kits have alot of r&d into them and both make great power so id base which kit u want depending on what ur expected gains are. give em both a call and feel it out. im a firm believer on customer/seller relationships. ur gonna get alot of diff comments on what kit to get, but whichever way u go, u will make no wrong choice.

 

agreed. i know and have read about members who've had one kit or the other and both seem to be really good kits with very little issues (usually issues are just in the tuning) and have ability to upgrade to larger turbo's if prefered. so as Slikk said its moreso personal preference

 

best effing answer i've ever seen to this question and god knows we've seen it a ton.

 

Generally, PTuning will be a better kit based upon manifold design. This will help you out with higher HP numbers should you choose to go that route. Dezod has a log manifold design, and that will work just fine for 90% of turbo applications out there. The kicker is that the PTuning kit will cost more than the Dezod kit, but Dezod also has the kit with their race manifold.

As everyone else said, call, ask questions, and go from there.

 

You live close to Ptuning, feel free to stop by. We can show you our kit, dyno charts from both kits, and compare each component which makes up both kits. Any questions you may have, we will answer them.

 

The guys at ptuning are very helpful just like the guys at dezod. Both have two strong kits and very good customer service. Its really about personal opinon. If you live close to Ptuning swing by and check them out. They are very friendly and would love to talk to you. Also Twan is a awsome tuner!

 

When you say PTuning and Dezod, you need to specify on the Dezod part as they have a different teir level system. If you comparing PTuning, then you need to compare Dezod's Alpha components and not their S1 or S2 turbo setup to that of PTuning's.

Dezod's Alpha kit is a component based setup (you need to fabricate your own portion of the kit, or have someone do it as it's a DIY setup).

The Dezod S1 and S2 are:

-Log manifold
-pull thru MAF setup
-2.5 inch down pipe
-Synapse 40mm WG
-Recirculated dump tube
-HKS BOV
-2.5 inch Intake off the turbo
-57 Trim turbo (by default option to change)


PTuning Kits are:

-Low turbo mounted EL manifold (done to keep the center of gravity low)
-Blow-thru MAF setup
-Pretapped Charge pipe for Methanol Injection
-3 inch down pipe/S-pipe (designed to bolt to their 3 inch exhaust)
-TurboSmart 45mm WG
-Open dump tube
-TurboSmart BOV (believe the SS kit is 50mm BOV)
-4 inch intake off the turbo
-57 Trim turbo (by default option to change)


Compared to the Alpha, Dezod chose the route of a DIY, so you get:

-Ram-Horn style EL manifold
-3 inch downpipe
-3 inch S-pipe
-TiAL 44mm WG
-Choose the turbo
-Lines
-Everything else you either fabricate yourself or have someone do it.


Both have default AEM F/IC engine management ECU's with them. Compared to a S1 or S2, everything is Bigger on the PTuning Setup. Only way to compare a PTuning System to a Dezod is if you are talking about the Dezod Alpha. Then you would be comparing a full bolt-on setup (PTuning) to a DIY setup (Dezod Alpha) and that's a whole different comparison.


You live close to PTuning, it's a no brainer. I drove 11hrs from TN to PTuning to get my PTuning Spec RS system tuned up.

 

Rhythym pretty much summed up whats included in all the kits. What u really need to do is sit and think these few things over.
1.) whats my budget
2.) is ur car a daily driver or not
3.) expected power goal
4.) stock motor or built motor
5.) are u ready if theres any catastrophic mishaps

These are just some things that me and a few of my buddies ask ourselves when doin our own builds. Idk ur mechanical knowledge but remember that along w more power comes more problems. If ur gonna stay on the stock power train id go w the dezod kit. If ur build a motor before or eventually than id lean towards the ptuning kit.

 

Should have any questions, comments, concerns or questions, please feel free to call, email or PM me anytime as I will gladly assist you in your venture.

 

Thank you for posting all this info Rythmnsmoke.

To the OP, If you have any question or concerns regarding our kit. Please stop by, or give me a call at the shop.

Thanks Drew

 

Small correction, due to current demand, we are offer two IC adaption pipes to convert the S1 pipes to Alpha. Hot side is already out for sale. Cold side should be ready next week.

Also, our Alpha comes with TRUE V-band inlet and out technology accompanied by Genuine Garrett turbochargers AND a Stainless Cast Turbine Housing. Pure Sex.

Our Alpha is for those whom only want the best and to make BIG power while doing it.

Picture reference:

 

i get butterflies every time i see an alpha.

 

wow guys thanx great comments ya i probably will stop by ptuning..and i will reply to you paul

 

Here are Pictures of our tC1 SPEC-SS turbo kit on Display. And our PTUNING tC1 SPEC-RS EL Manifold with dual dump tube set-up.

For those interested in manifold comparison.

Thanks Drew

 

I am personally a huge dezod fan boy i think everyone knows that but that RS mani is pretty good looking.

JW what is the price of the RS series kit?

 

i agree...i wonder if they make or will start making them to fit other variations like a t3/t4 or single wastegate or flanged for a 38mm wastegate.

 

the RS? it's built that way for a reason the SS is built to the specifications you want with the exception of the V-band manifold?

 

It's for better waste-gating aka better boost control.
