no worries. You guys have a great product. Don't worry about haters or uneducated sheep like fools. Not only do you have a great system for the Tc...but countless other systems and parts for other tuner vehicles. I've been referring you guys out to many friends.

Treadstones Turbokit spool is vicious compared to ANY other turbo kit out there for our car. The only downsides are the obvious and as you can see they are working on them to accomodate our scene. There is no point on bashing a company that works hard on delivering a great product....at a great price...that supports our community. With simple changes Im sure everyone would be pouncing on this kit over many of the other companies.

Direct links to Jarods Auto Tc. He has dynos and vids somewhere here on S.L. and was one of the first guys with this kit on.

calm down man. its just a joke. of course im all for the idea. i just dont get the part about taking a kit that costs $2999, adding $700 worth of parts (wich you being in the biz, probably get for less than that), and selling it for $4250. what happens with the other $550?

$700 worth of parts, but still needs to be tuned. Instead of taking it to the dyno and they charge a few hundred, it will come pretuned ready to go. Kit price will definitely be 4k or a little more, pricing has not been totally worked out yet.

you said it will come with a base tune, wich you can download for free from dezod. and a custom dyno tune only costs about $200. your kit is one of the best bang for the buck deals out there. why would you throw that away? keep it a great deal.

Well then the only thing that would hold me back(i'm trading in my 05 for an 08 manual), would be the cutting of the bumper cover and crash bar ;) i've got the money for it haha

Just to go off what Brett said, even though you can Download a tune or come with a base tune, that will start you off, but depending on where you live, altitude, air pressure, blah blah blah, the tune will not be correct most likely, of course thats depending on where the tune was made and where you live.

I think its a good deal. treadstone turbos i pretty good from what i've read. But liek many stated before i agree, cuttign the crashbar and bumper is a negative. Especially cuz i have R.S. 3.0. and really dont feel like cutting anything.

yea im stuck between the GReddy turbo kit and the Treadstone kit....mainly for the fact that the IC piping shows on the Treadstone and and i can get the GReddy kit for $3300 shipped with injectors and an emanage

my input:

fix the IC piping, include a pretuned AEM F/I c...thats my only advice

WHOA! L33t! I didn't know those were your plans! You know Todd just came out witha "basik" kit for like $2550?
Oh and 2 of us our emanage...2 of us our AEM F/IC.

Treadstone...why is unichip yoru top choice as opposed to Greddy or AEM F/IC? I mean besides the fact that your website says yoru kit will not run with the emanage?

emange is just not a good unit for tunning in our opinion, and not only have we had problems with the emange and the scion, its other cars as well. We are already a tuner for Unichip, and the price per unit is pretty much the same as an AEM.

So are you going to re-bend the intercooler piping so you dont' have to cut the front bumper? I GUARANTEE you will sell more kits if you do that :D

re bending the intercooler pipes will take some time to do, but we are working on it, probably a few months before we release kits with the new piping.

well, IMO, you would be better off bundeling it with the AEM F/IC then with the unichip, but either is better then noghing.
