Default Dezod turbo Kit

Ok so I have made up my mind I am going to get rid of my Greddy turbo kit and go with a new set up. Been looking at Dezod kits as well as Descendant.
Here's the thing. Can I make the same power with a Dezod kit like Desendant high numbers. I like the fact that it has a cat on the down pip and that it can be upgraded later on down the road. Should I go with a S1 or S2 and what numbers can I exspect. I have an fully build auto trans from IPT, and will convert to a Manuel trans soon But for now i just want my Tc back up and running for a show in late sept. Please any adivse from anyone would be good thanks.

Respectfully

I was obviously being sarcastic sir. Although if you could get ahold of Todd I'm sure he'd be willing to "take" your money and custom fab a kit for you...

In my personal opinion dezod or descendant you'd be happy with the results. In all honesty who cares if you have 10-15 more horsepower than another tc. You may in fact be a better driver than someone with more power. I never dyno'd my turbotoyota's kit but I sure kicked some a$$ in it.

I know you were lol.... I have heard good things about the turbotoyotas kit. The fact that he out of business sucks. Plus i have no way of contacting him so oh well.


But I really like Dezod setup. The fact that you can Easley upgrade the kit makes me want it a little more. Maybe I'll see if I can get someone from dezod to help me on this decision as well. I wanted to keep my greddy kit but 2000$ for a replacement turbo is a little too pricey if you know what i mean.

I would not run the Alpha on an auto trans. It will be too much for it.

To the OP:

It's your money and you may choose to spend it when and where you want. I would also tell you this: no matter what anyone says, you need to pick with what's important to you, your budget and your life. It's your car, your $, your insurance, your gas that goes into it....Get my drift? Don't let anyone sway you in one direction with misleading comments or whatever.

Let's remember a few things....talk is cheap, dyno numbers can be fudged and remember to look closely at what you get for your $. Service/$, Warranty/$, Components/$, Performance/$. One company will stand out more than others in all of these categories. That should lead your decision making process in the right direction.

It's going to boil down to what your end result power numbers will want to be. Be realistic with yourself. I say about 330-350whp + requires a whole different checking account and such. This is the threshold that separates the men from the boys. Over that mark to do it right, you need built blocks, LSDs, suspension mods, fuel systems, standalones etc. Be real with yourself. Do you want to go that far? Can you afford it?

If you decide that 330whp or less you are fine with, then boil it down to Ok who gives me the best value? What components are proven? Have a huge customer base? Years of experience in kits? Number of customers country wide? Again, you will boil down to one company, which is whom I work for.

I HATE butting heads, but when people attempt to throw me or my employer here under the bus, it gets a little personal.

I don't go around ruffling people's feathers unless someone does it to me.

Having the best on the market don't come cheap, got to pay to play.

3g's is not a lot to play with. You are better off getting a used kit from classifieds.

I'm a little confused. You were thrown under the bus...because someone's opinion is that they have the best kit? Or are you talking about some other thread? Even if you were talking about another thread, I would think you would carry that fight in that one instead of across multiple threads. Only thing mentioned here is that the competition feels they have the better kit. It's a valid position.

I assume you are referring to Scion's only. Does that constitute as being the best or does that constitute as being around the longest so you have had a head start?

Travis you mean to tell me that was the best way and most professional way that blownxa could of gone about advertising his kit? it's an unfounded claim that is not actually backed by any factual data and if we want to talk numbers you and i run the same turbo and i made more power than your car on the same psi @5200rpm. i need to do the fic resistor mod then i am going back to get the car fully tuned. you know i have love for you travis but that was a BS method to drop Ptunings name and everyone here knows it. notice how the OP completely ignored his comment? that is not the best way to try and bring business to your shop but jumping in a thread and saying hey my wiener is bigger than everyone else's wiener.

So you are saying that no one is entitled to their opinion? It was a one liner about how PTuning kit was the best. Surely you are not in a position stating that the same is not done from any manufacture on the planet (not just turbo kits here, just marketing and advertising in general). Everyone says they are the best. A customer of one says they are the best and they are not scrutinized. But when someone from the actual shop says they are the best, somehow they are throwing the other guy under the bus? With respect, sorry, I don't feel that way. It was one line, just like the previous lines above that one.

A boxer who is the champ doesn't walk around with the position of "we are all good boxers". If that were the case, no such thing as "Pound for Pound the Best Fighter" titles wouldn't exist.

People shouldn't be so sensitive to a little competition.

And really? You made more power on PTuning's dyno? Cause I know you are smarter than that to try and compare power on a completely different dyno on a completely different day and not even in the same year....lol. I never fight with numbers. Only thing I fight is lap times.

Like I said, if it were just another forum member who made a comment..."PTuning's kit is the best, you should consider that". You wouldn't have even batted an eye. Double Standard a bit.


PS....he didn't ignore him, he replied if you scroll up. He only has $3k to play with and PTuning was out of his price range.

The other thing you missed, unless you have a mistype in your thread is that...You and I don't run the same turbo.

GT3076R vs GTX3076R. You are suppose to make more power with the GTX bro It's all good, I still got love for you though.

Isn't the first time people have thought I've had more than what I actually do have.

Now I'm off to have a little fun in the rain at the Scion FR-S first drive event.
