Clearly you've missed a bunch of my posts. I have the Descendant kit on my car, I have since May & I love it. I don't have access to the dyno sheet right now as it's in the possession of World-Racing at the moment but I'm making ~250hp on 5 psi & I'm an automatic.

Pic when it was completely fresh & only ran for like 5 mins:


After being beaten on a bit. :

 

Very nice I like the see through radiator hoses where you get them from?

where have I been? That looks really good Tina, I love ur car and kit. Mani looks bad butt

 

not going to comment on other turbos like everyone said i havent used any other one only a dezod kit, my dezod kit is amazing and love it im running 8psi and making 269whp and 289tq on an Auto trans why, custom intercooler pipes and intake, just got a ptuning turbo back exhaust and new managment, cant wait for the #'s also Dezod has good customer service

 

Pronouced like Twan, but spelled Toan.

 

What you fail to realize by that comment is that PTuning's kit was R&D using a Race Track season. The difference between their Street kit and their Time Attack tC is essentially a few pipe changes and a different turbo (which you can get also).

There is no question of testability or reliability like other kits out there, why...because other turbo kit producers (aside from World Racing), use customers as a grounds for testing. Sure they tested their kits on a tC for daily use for a little while before releasing it. But no one (other than WR) produces a kit that has sustained the rigors of Full OUT track abuse.

 

+1 on that Mike. Seriously....voting for someone because they are "Thinking" of doing something? Alpha kit....when will that come out, when the new ECU does? I'll be waiting and watching...and even then....PTuning still #1.

 

Thanks edie.

And that's so nice of you to think about me Bobby asking for pics of a NAUTICA BLUE tC with the time attack red piping.

That's not one of their kits yet. That's Toan's personal car. But yes, they are all about quality, cleanliness, and perfect fitment. If you really want to see how obsessed they are with presentation, you should watch them race. In between every race session, they detail the car again. This past race in Englishtown, they were clay barring it after it came back into the pits lol.

 

What do you mean voting for someone because they are thinking of doing something? I voted for Dezod because of there broad range of knowledge and they make quality parts. There turbo setups have been proven to make power as well. I know there Alpha kit will be promising, just like all there other products. Like I said before, I only felt that SOME people who know little to nothing about turbos jump on the band wagon and are blind followers. 35 plus people voted for ptuning yet like I said less then 25 people commented in this thread. Dont get me wrong, I believe Ptuning is an incredible company as well and they make awesome products. But if I was to buy a kit right now, I would go with Dezod because of there long line of options.

 

This thread is going absolutely nowhere.

What it does show is Descendant's welcome to the ring, PTUNING's ability to decisively sway the Scion community and Dezod's commitment to serving the Scion community.

Like I said if I had to do it all over again I would go with PTUNING over Dezod and it isn't anything Dezod did "wrong" but more so the expandability alreay in place with the PTUNING kit. I would not have to go out and upgrade the turbo, get a different BOV, go to a blow-thru MAF setup, get a water and oil cooled turbo, all those ar ein place already with the PTUNING kit. Sure Dezod offers upgrades but after the upgrades are all said and done I would have been better off with the PTUNING kit.

That being said I never plan on racing my car, never plan on going to the track, never plan on attempting to launch the car, never plan on fully rebuilding the motor etc. so the Dezod S1 was a good selection for me and my goals. I wanted a DD with reliable power and their kit has given me just that.

I have been to PTUNING and they have an immaculate shop, simply gorgeous, my apartment didn't even look that clean. They have access to a wide range of things. Not to mention their pricing is fair, competitive and less than some BS shops in GA.

I believe this entire "best" conversation is a ____ing competition. Some will say it matters more on the track, that is one place I can care less than the bee I smashed against the window yesterday about. It does not matter.

The fact is you cannot go wrong with any of the aforementioned kits, PTUNING, Dezod or Descendant. In the end, out the box, the kits all produce around the same hp so let it end there.

 

One again Curtis comes in and puts together a wonderful post, lol.
