Default Treadstone Turbo Kit

I have a friend that can get me this full kit dyno my car before and after, tune it and everything for $4000. Im just trying to look into the kit a little more before i make the move. Anyone familiar with this kit, ive seen a few threads about it.

I'd rather spend $3600 on a Dezod S1 kit and still have money left over for gauges.

Hey Man...i have the treadstone kit. all in all its a great kit just be sure to check for: 1.) if your bov is fake or not (because they sent me a fake one at first), 2) how the stack adapter is casted (because mine had a small hole on the side so i just cut my injen intake and used that). but other than that awesome kit. im currently still tuned off of the *injen* stack adapter and my afrs are fine. idle staggers between 14.5-15.0 and underboost staggers between 10-11.5 a lil rich for my taste. i recommend getting a fic and tune which is what im currently waiting for to arrive. well there you go pretty much a breakdown of how the kit is and on a scale from 1-5 i give the kit a 4. peace

for 4k its a good deal on a turbo kit. But treadstone not so sure its a good deal. You need engine management for optimal performance. Thats another 200-300 if you can buy used then you have to hack into your bumper for the intercooler pipes unless they changed it. But if they sent scionridrz fake parts thats bogus and i wouldnt waste my time with that kit. If you do it, GL and hope everythign works out. But i would do some research on the other kits available then decide. dont just decide on cost alone.

Dezods plug and play kits are the easiest thing in the world to install! Anyone can do it with a handful of tools and they also provide a step by step installation guide on their website under tech tips.

Did you talk to treadstone about the small hole? I know treadstone has some "magical" maf sensor stack adapter thats supposed to make the car "run right" without a tune :/ So maybe this is part of how they accomplish this? I dunno but id ask them

As for quality the only thing i can attest to is the manifold - i use the Treadstone manifold and its been holding up great for about 2 years now Thats why i love cast manifolds
