Default Calling ALL Greddy and Dezod users

I have a 2007 Scion tC and I know there's a lack of kits out for this. I really want a GREDDY kit, but there's some changes that prevent it, so not sure what to do. So, what kits fit a 2007? Yes, while I've searched a lot, didn't really find much info.

So, what I want is the most power possible at the most cheapest expenses. I'm thinking GREDDY for this one. So, what you think? I'm considering Dezod, but I know nothing about then and I think they're a small company with no rep. Because I don't know anything about them. So, how are they? Turbonetics is out of the question because they're way too overpriced.

I'm assuming people have put on GREDDYs on their 07s, so what do I have to do to make that possible? Something with a harness or something? Turboing my tC is a dream, so I need your help to make that dream come true.

I can say nothing wrong about Dezod. Paul has taken great care of me, spent hours on the phone decided this deciding that, all from when he ordered everything, to when it arrived at his shop, to when he shipped it out to me he would call me and let me know the status. Daily, Weekly, whatever I wanted. I couldn't ask for more and I will be installing my turbo setup this weekend.

Thanks again Paul!

I went with a Dezod kit because of their customer service and how well their kits are put together.

So far i havent had any problems with the turbo or their company.

I went with Dezod and I'm glad I did. I must have called Paul every other day for three weeks getting everything done with my car, and he was always there to help me out. You won't get that kind of customer service with Greddy. Plus with Dezod, you get drop in injectors, a plug and play harness, and a base fuel map that got me around for months. A literal Bolt-on Turbo Kit.

But, it seems that GREDDY has better gains really. I want to get 350WHP at least. But, I'm considering Dezod now.

How much does it cost to get everything going?

Greddy has better gains?

Call Paul @ Dezod, tell him what you want, and he will tell you what it will take to make it happen.

Cost? That depends on what exactly you want, all from Turbo to Standalone to Many other things..

A Standalone Engine Management...

If your goal is to get to 350 whp and you don't know what a Standalone is, we could have a problem..

forget the GReddy kit

from incorrect wiring directions, to the most recent problem of a bad internal wastegate that GReddy won't acknowledge as being defective, this kit has been nothing but problems for a friend's tC

We have quite a few decent powered tCs running all around the country from NY to HI and everywhere in between.

I can show you boat loads of dynos of our customers and shop tC making 300whp or more, and can show some low 13 sec and high 12 sec quarter mile times.

Feel free to call me tomorrow during business hours and I can put together something mild to crazy wild for ya to make great power. It's all a matter of dollars quite bluntly. I can make you just about anything you need.

cabt go wrong with dezod. They have excelent feedback on the site. Just because they dont have the straight profit cash to pull full page ads in super street doesnt mean they arent a well known company.

Oh, I'm the guy who's been emailing you about the 2007 Scion tC. LOL, like I was saying, I want 350WHP at LEAST. So, what do you suggest?

<----said friend.

paul at dezod is so good, he has been answering questions for my car w/ the greddy kit since i got it. U DA MONSTER!

i guess the positive w/ the greddy kit i have is that the turbo spools, i think thats it.
in the end, do u want cheaper or less expensive. i wanted less expensive and ended up getting cheaper. for more reading, i had to spend money sending the emanage back cuz it didnt work using their diagram, they said it worked, i got it back it did not, bought the pnp harness, it worked. now i have to get an external wastegate so some more moding being done. i guess what im really tryind to say is... does dezod have pistons and rods, and injectors . i mean, dezod has better knowledge and customer service than the other guys
