Default The ultimate F/I Poll!

This thread is intended to discuss who has or wants what and why? - BE SURE TO POST WHEN YOU VOTE about your thoughts!

What do you like/dislike? Keep this clean and factual -

Also another thing that would be good to mention is if you plan on buying other upgrades and doing more with the kit than just bolting it on.

What are the factors in your deiscion - WHY do you want the kit you want or own the kit you purchased?

I do not know - but since it has an SAFC II it needs some tuning ... You can ask in that thread and find out the answer and let us know here.

Here is the link to the thread on it - https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=129177

It would be an act of lunacy to not tune any bolt-on turbo kit on a car that doesn't come turbocharged off the lot.

That sp sounds good for 3900 but since u have to tune it and get a ball bearing upgrade; adds up to just getting a tns kit

Thats what it comes down to for me overall the best, more complete and reliable kit (with waranty) is the tns; the only problem is the price its almost 5k and im still debating it cause of the problems everyones been having with them

I will be going with TRD SC because I need my warranty and it is a simple bolt on no tuning necessary other than the re-flash. I’m just looking for a little extra ump. I can't wait till I get the funds!

Lots of good stuff here - I approached and chose Dezod because of a few factors:

1. Customer service (they are SO knowledgeable and pay great attention to your needs)
2. Quality - The parts are top notch
3. Fit kit (they say and they mean BOLT-ON) You dont even need to have the oil plug welded either just need to drill it! They include everything to make installation clean and simple. I LOVE the PnP Harness for the EManage! It is a life saver!
4. Numbers - they spec'd this kit for great performance and the Dyno shows it.


I could keep going lol I've done a few diff kits on different cars and this has to be the best one I've ever installed personally.

if your willing to do a few modifications then low 14's is attainable with a $100 pulley and $300 header. I really really gotta get to the track...I wanna put up some high 13's for you guys...I have a lot more than just the above listed. I got a nasty exhaust leak coming from my s pipe right now cause I blew the gasket out, but once thats all fixed up its off to Rudtners Racing for a nice custom Unichip tune
13's here we come
