^ you have never heard of TT ? than you dont know much to back any of your opinions on why dezod and TT are not good. The one bad thing about my TT set up is that the pipe on the driver side hangs a bit low. But I am lowered to trd specs so it does not matter. and on top of that our cars were never meant to be boosted. were ptunings kit costs more than todds i can use that extra cash to fix that pipe if i wanted and still have money to spare. its a ll in how you look at it. ok TT was not the first but TT has been putting out tt kits longer than anyone else and for a while they were the only one selling them. If tt designs were not as good than why was kenny tran running a manifold that looked identically to todds ?

Name brand or not, I'd rather have something tested out extensively before spending a large sum of money in my car since I want my car to actually last and not be in the shop every other day. I even got to see random adjustments made to the prototype model since MrC and everyone there are the biggest group of perfectionists i have ever met. And that honestly says a lot. I know A LOT of effort has gone into that kit.

Imma have to say soflo only cause someone just joined the forum doesnt always make them noobs.... I didnt join til almost 2 years of owning the car and I was no noob.... I have also been to shops where the people who work there are RETARDED so owning a place doesnt always mean they are smart about it.
As for the some issues with the dezod kit thing I have heard horror stories for EVERY KIT so its just picking apples some are good but occasionally you'll get the bad one in the batch.
bottom line there are pros and cons to all setups from potential to price to quality etc

ya but i said that cuz when was the last time there was a bad story about dezod on SL? i cant even remember.... so im curious where he heard alot of negativity towards them.
yes there are alot of retarded shop owners who dont no anything about cars and arent even certified but i said if ur releasing a bolt on kit for a car u better be knowledgable about the car. paul, todd, mr.c, all of them know about the tc inside and out. so saying one is more knowledgable than the other well how do u know that? did u give them a questionairre or something? i think not. lol

You mean why did todd make one that looked like the Full Race one. Since Kenny Tran was running the Full Race one before todd started making manifolds.

So just cos I have never heard of TT nor been a member of some stupid forum since the age of dinosaurs, that makes me a noob and means I have no idea what I'm talking about. Um no it's called I have other things that preoccupy my time other than forums. I'm a full time student and keeping up with what turbo kits are out there for my car are the least of my worries when I have 20 page research papers to compile the time and I don't even have the money for boost. Don't get me wrong, it's something I want and will have but not anytime in the next few months. Why don't you figure out what people do instead of basically calling them stupuid for not having heard of some other brand.
And maybe I did come up with a questionairre, does it matter? I do my research on a shop and a part before I purchase it, which is what the person who started this thread is doing, obviously. To be honest, I heard bad things from friends of mine with the dezod set up and on another forum. This isn't the only scion forum out there ya know.
