Default Next Stage-0?

Are there any plans for another Stage-0 turbo starter kit from another company like Dezod and has a price of the 07-08 TRD S/C?

This kit should be awesome for tuners who don't want more than 250WHP on there tCs yet and just up-boost later on...

Just a suggestion, and I know there is still ZPI but the Customer service and welds stink... maybe a much better company could make a prototype Stage-0.?

From the posts that I've read, i doubt that dezod would offer a kit like ZPI stage 0. Dezod recommends bov and engine management in the kit which is not on the stage 0 so i doubt that

A Garrett watercooled turbo with BOV would be nice...

But the Dezod stage-1's price is pretty reasonable.

you need a "complete" kit. not a turbo jr. if you only want 250whp then just keep the boost low. you're better off having more than you want, than less than you need.

thought the stage 0 was a very economical way to be boosted relatively safely....obviously its not a complete kit, but remember, you get what you pay for.....

I'm just making this thread to see if light tuners still like the Stage-0 type kits instead of getting a S/C...

And maybe give the companies ideas on an OEM like turbo kits that doesn't pack much power...

I'm getting a Dezod Stage-1 kit when the new upgrade arrives and also, I'm waiting for the tuners here in Vegas to get some practice tuning other tCs good, so I don't get my engine burnt to bits for them trying to run 11-12PSI on stock internals to make 320WHP...

I am also interested in some sort of a low boost turbo like 6 psi, non intercooled, maybe a small turbo that spools early like a t 25. I think a kit like this would be great for 225 to 250 hp and with a t25 it should spool up alot faster than the other turbos. I'm just looking into getting mt car in the mid to low 14's and i will be happy..
