Default Another Turbo question

Hey I'm new to scionlife. I have been doing a lot a research but I couldn't find the answer.

I'm getting a really good deal on these two turbo kits. GReddy turbo and turbonetics turbo kit.

I know about Dezod ( I like the Dezod), I know Treadstone and I know about ZPI. But I'm getting a really good deal on the GReddy turbo kit and turbonetics turbo kit.

I know with the Emanage that come with the GReddy kit can get it tuned in my state.
I know i have to travel to CT and it's 2 to 3 hours drive to get the unichip tuned for the turbonetics kit.

Another question where can I get a stock ECU for cheap? I have the TRD reflash because I had the supercharger and I was told you can't reflash it back to stock.


I just want to know the pros and cons about both kits. I don't want to start a fanboy war. I just want some help.

Thank you.

Turbonetics kit -
CONS
Turbo is not reliable
Unichip is only tuned to 8psi and difficult to find a tuner
Downpipe will crack and need to be welded
PROS
kit installed very easily
all parts were there
Unichip has a good tune for 8 psi and lower
630cc injectors

Do not have experience with Greddy

or you could save up a little extra cash to get it. running a turbo on a [tight/low] budget is definately not recommended.

Why? what happen to your kit.

I'm not on a budget, I'm just going where the deal is. I'm talking about the whole GReddy kit that includes everything((E-Manage Ultimate/Injectors/Harness)
. My friend have two GReddy RS BOV. He said would sell me one or trade it for my speakers He also said I just need to get the Flange for the bov. I just want to know which kit will last longer and whick kit I will have less worries with. LOL

the greddy kit is ok for the new FI ppl like me but the dezod kit is way better. small things like the clamps suck im going to get ones like the t-clamps in the dezod kit another thing i dont like is the internal WG make sure its not bent or you will run into probs, its just a bunch of small things like that i dont like and you can get higher whp with there kit(dezod) out of the box, its up to you. you get what you pay for, i feel the greddy kit is "cheap" in quality . If you do get the greddy kit go for the dezod pnp injector (550cc not cutting) i even got my e-manage blue from them cheaper then going with the whole kit from Greddy. i have spent lot of time calling dezod for help and was always helped no prob

this is just what i feel but when it comes down to it is what you want all i know is i wish i would have went with the dezod kit
