TN is similar to Dezod in that they use the same turbines.

ZPI is the only company that uses the BIG Evo III 16G

GReddy uses the 18G, which is very similar to the 16G that ZPI uses.
my apples-to-apples-meaning was what is included in the kit, emanage vs. unichip, and other components. I sure there is enuff experience to determine which kit comprises the better parts. I'm sure there are those who need/want the lower 1/4 mile time, i want the "best kit".

Go with Dezod, they use quality name brand parts, and they can have your kit out to you in good time.

Well you have fallen into our ever-so-popular S1 kit. It provides the instant spool of a small turbo and the top end of a larger turbo. Our TQ curves speak for themselves.

S1 Kit @ 8.5 PSI with a converter on the DP



S1 Kit @ 11 PSI with a catless downpipe; recirc dump tube



At 11 PSI the results were 281 wheel HP & 293 wheel TQ with a catless downpipe, open dump tube wastegate with 4 degrees of retarded timing and 15% load on a DynoMite Dyno with our conservative base map.

I recommend the Turbo by TBK Performance, it is an excelent turbo for street use, and it has excelent components. spearco intercooler, IHI VF22 turbo, Haltech 10 FX fuel manegement. The setup is very clean and I have had it since september without any problems. Currently I am running at 9 PSI and I have 270 HP to the wheels. Check out my setup at my cardomain page

My car hits FAST - this is 2nd gear. I just punched it from 0% throttle. It doesn't let off every gear feels like 2nd ....

The kit was built to be streetable and still get the power when your going for it.

I needed it for AutoX I'm SERIOUSLY impressed with the power balance.
