PTuning has an amazing kit. Hands down my favorite of all mainstream kits. Dezod is bad either but I personally would rather have PTuning. You are near their shop for any assistance or problems that may need fixing in the future. Good choice sir, good choice. I'd hate to see some chump rocking out a Turbonetics kit... wait, that's what I use... dammit! If only I had money tree...

To be dead honest, I'm very satisfied with my T-Netics kit. The smaller wheel spools it up soooo fast and makes daily city driving a blast. I'm not going for max WHP but great drivability. Thanks to ElevationTC (Mike) and my tuning efforts, it's amazing and feels like an OEM turbo TC. The ease of install, quality and fitment, price, and power of the Turbonetics kit is undeniable although some people have had problems down the road with the turbo seal on the hot side going bad. I'm not sure if the V2 watercooled version has this issue or not but I'll find out the hard way eventually lol! 1 year no questions asked warranty from Turbonetics aint bad either.

Knowing what I know now, I still would have gone with a PTuning kit if I could turn back time. That EL mani and blow thru MAF setup is baller.

my choice goes toward the descendant turbo kits. It might be more expensive but you should try looking into them. You won't be dissapointed

I really want to see one in person because they look pretty nice. Just for bling factor, I don't like the OEM airbox but functionally it is sound and a good idea. The BPV vs the BOV is another thing but that can be changed if desired. The kit looks like it would be a great bolt and go kit to replace the turbonetics kit since they dont make it anymore. There are so many options for good turbo kits now for the TC

part of it is your budget. you can get a greddy kit for like $3200, all you need after that is injectors and piggyback ecu. but one of the drawbacks is the internal wastegate. same with the tuner version of the decendant turbo kit.

right now, there are probably more dezod kits out there than anything else, which should say alot. also, you get many options for customization with the coating, colors and different turbochargers.

p-tuning looks to have a very good kit, but how many people have them so far? how much feedback is there? not saying anything bad about it, but there might be an issue that hasn't come up yet that may occur.

I doubt there will be any issues considering the kit was developed on a time attack professional race car. All their products come straight from the race-track to your car. It is perfected time and time again before it hits the shelves. Dezod has done this over the years simply by having so many people using their kits. Both are good options but I've seen the PTuning kit in person and it truly is amazing. Mastertech86 runs one in his in Orlando. Mike did the tuning on it for 12 psi and says it hauls a$$. PTuning isn't the cheapest though. The greddy piggy-backs don't tune partial throttle well from what I hear. You are better off getting the tuner package and getting an F/IC if you want to use a piggyback. A set of 550cc injectors isn't hard to come by either.

Ptunning set up is amazing yea its pricey but you have to come to think about it you do pay for what you get for. dezod setup is really good. But it really comes down to your budget if not keep saving and choose which one you want.

These poll results are awesome, but the person who voted for the Descendant kit needs to DIAF.

I have the Dezod kit, installed, runs flawlessly and tuned by PTUNING and I voted for the PTUNING kit.
