you will get tons of opinions but Dezod or Ptuning all the way! Search and do a lot of research.

Well, let's see here. If you want the most "bang for your buck" go with an ebay kit. That'll be the cheapest kit/hp ratio out there but be sure to have an extra engine lying around. If you have the patience of a god, go with turbo toyotas. If you want better customer service and really great products, go with Dezod or PTuning. Search around for these and make the decision for yourself based on how much you want to spend and what is important for you. You are really going to come on here and shell out thousands of dollars for a kit based on someone's opinion without researching for yourself? If you want to give money away I can give you my paypal address.

I wasn't trying to come off as a dick. I just got the impression that you were being lazy and wanted to make a decision for yourself based on other people's opinions. There's plenty of info on this first page alone of people with different kits. A lot of the time the type of kit is in the title of the thread. The synopsis I gave you is just of a couple kits out there. There's also Greddy, Turbonetics just to name a couple others. It really comes down to what you want out of your kit. Is this going to be your daily driver? Track car? Daily but track on the weekends? There's A LOT of factors that we cannot decide for you, but if you come on here and give the impression you want people to make decisions for you w/o doing the research for yourself you will get flamed. Just do what I did and read through other member's threads about the kits they have and the experiences they have already gone through. It'll take a lot of time but the knowledge you gain from it will save you tons of money in the long run plus you will be that much more knowledgable.

Well, since you have time, research on how the kits perform with different members. Another factor may be which one is closer for you to get tuned at (if you want to get tuned professionally that is)

I myself am eyeing up a used kit. I've done a lot of research on the kit itself, the upgrades that were made, what my goals are and how I can reach them. My car is my daily driver so I need to take that into consideration b/c if something gets messed up, I'm S.O.L. A kit is great and all, but there's still other things you will want to consider like gauges, injectors, spark plugs, clutch. These things don't come with kits usually and that's even more that you will need to save up. There's always more lol.
