Default Turbo Kit and Install???

I live in Northeastern PA and was wondering any decently close tuner/shops that can do a turbo install and possibly tune through a 1-2 day period? Thanks.

Im affraid if I get a turbo and I install it ill mess it up and boom...goes engine and turbo....thanks.

I have no idea, hopefully I can find out. Im sure a lot of shops can install but I want one who did tCs before...even if I cant tune it I can get it elsewhere.

Just because im still figuring out my options on what car to get...cuz tC is gettin S/C or Turbo...right away. just which turbo...ZPI stage 0 or Dezod

whatev every kit has their problems...whatnot. Least with stage0 has the least amount of parts=lesser parts to screw up. But then again Greddy has the same setup...somewhat. No intercooler/piping and whatnot....but need manager

somewhat. Thats why im considering gettin a GTI , WRX, srt4 ...just easier at mind. but in all the tC is a great car also...if i get stage 0 with no worries id go that way in a heart beat.... Its just MY luck...that something would go wrong...ahh plus insurance is best on tC

For $5K, you can claim a Dezod kit with tons of bells and whistles or even a Turbonetics kit.

Turbonetics comes pre-tuned, and we offer quite a comprehensive base map as well with our kit. It will just need to be re-worked a bit for optimal performance.

Get the Dezod.. the 16g would be a odd set up especially if you wanted to upgrade in the future. I would stick with a T3 or T3/T4 flange, much more option with those.

Mitsu housing turbos offer the largest line of replacment turbos from a 16G to a GT42R. I am sure there are plenty of options for upgrades....

When it comes down to it is up to you. I can assure more power, gas mileage, etc.... we are here we install these for Scion owners all over the country. Let me know if you have any questions.

I think your referring to Garrett turbos sir. Your turbo in your kit is not made by Garrett according to my knowledge.

wow...all over a simple question. I wouldnt really worry about upgrading....I Just want SO much power...and 250-300whp is ENOUGH...I dont want anymore than 300. I would work on suspension a bit. THe turbonetics is a great kit. I just really dont trust me installing a turbo kit...I just have a bad feeling about me forgeting one thing and messing it all up. I could do piping, intercooler, bov, manifold, turbo, downpipe and all fine, just prob lines I would mess up..my luck...I have the worst luck...

Simple enough...best kit without upgrading....

The whole pretune is alright....every engine isnt exactly the same....so you need to actually tune it to get the most outta it....and my friend had a turbonetics and it blew up pushing 11psi. right outta the box tune? pfff.

Still dont know...scion saves me money overall...i can see turbo goin bad in miles to come.... my luck.

Anyone have ZPI stage 1 with their install/tune with any problems?

Did I say Garrett? Using the mitsu housing allows you to run any Mitsu turbine housing...regardless of turbo manufacturer

It can be MHI, FP, BR, PT, Etc.... It does not matter as long as it is a Mitsu housing which is exactly what I said.
