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.
Our S1 was designed for the power balance of supreme mid-range which works well for Auto-x's and daily driven cars.

Yeah not to mention - Paul is ALL over helping people out - I've got a hold of this guy when I was in a cruch and he knows his stuff inside and out - literally.

I was having an idle/start issue and I described what my problem was and he was like 'check the emanage jumpers again' and - what do you know I had one I somehow put back in the wrong position.

I trust their competence and they back up and take care of their people.

One of the best experiences I've had.

Furthermore we have yet to put any of our cars on slicks, 14 PSI AND an open exhaust.

Our Car runs strong, Races EVERY weekend. Takes a licking and keeps on ticking. Turbonetics has blown up cars as well(blew so many 350Z motors that they had to re-design the turbo kit). I don't think that ONE car blowing is a testament to the kit itself. If there were multiple blown up tC's from a ZPI kit, then a re-design of the kit probably would have taken place...don't you think? Seeing as how I run strong and have been for like 3-4 months (daily driven, and Weekend raced).


PS....Blown motors have come from TRD S/C'ed tC's as well, does that make the S/C bad too? Yeah, I think you get the point..

You sure you don't mean Open Wastegate? Don't you run an Open Wastegate now? Because that's what ZPI runs, not an open exhaust. I don't run an open exhaust, and yet to run Slicks either.

I obvously prefer the Dezod kit haha.

We help out anyone regardless of what kit they buy so keep that in mind if you need any other parts as well. We don't just sell turbo kits. We have your tranny, brakes, and suspension covered inside and out.

As for our turbo kits, my S1 kit was installed, tuned, and raced since October. Since June I've been running our TEA system on the same Emanage and I haven't had a single engine issue yet. The car still pulls hard and now that my sub box is finally out (4 12" MA Audios) I expect to run 12s without an issue.

Our S1 is one of the best balanced kits on the market in terms of the power band and power delivery. Peak numbers dont mean crap on the street. If your turbo doesn't make full boost till 4200 what's the point of having it on the street? Our S1 pulls hard time after time. Our other components are proven race components. Tial is one of the best in the undustry over here and I've NEVER had/heard of one of our customers reporting a failed wastegate or Bov. We use parts that one awards at SEMA. Our exhaust system even passes smog checks if you purchase our catalytic converter. How many 13 second smog legal turbo kits are out there right now that look and perform the way ours does?

Like I said I'm biased but ask myself or Paul about any aspect of our kit and we can explain in full detail why we chose the parts we did, and the concepts behind each system.

I hope you're happy with the decision you make. We'll take care of everything you need, whether it be a turbo kit or a clutch.

Ok, how about this, what is your goal?

Show car?
Street car?
Track car?
Race car?
Good point. I don't think anyone in there right mind would have bought a tC in the first place if they wanted a track car or race car. Too many other better options out there for that.

Unfortunately no. We feel very strongly that in order to have a safe enough tune you need certain components. Our Stage 1 without any add-ons is the most basic kit we feel comfortable shipping out. An IC is VERY necessary for the boost we build our kits to ship at, and we pre-tune the emanage to accomodate for that.

Hopefully that helps.

lemme chime in on it

When I bought my kit, I had no clue who dezod was. I got on here and looked around and looked at they site and said hrrmm lemme give them a call. I called and talked to paul for about a hour before I decided I wanted them. He could answer everyone question I had. Wasnt rude and talked to me when I could of been blowing smoke up his ___ and really had no intention of buying a kit from them. I trusted them to use me for theyre auto testee. Paul has helped me out numerous times with overnight shipping and such. Great Company. To sit here and say they are trying to get a quick sale, of course a company is gonna come in and let the customer know what they got to offer, what they can do, and hear what the customer need's. Isnt that what a business is? Dezod has alot of tC ____ under devolpment, you cant compare ____ they dont got to ____ ZPI does have. Look how many car's dezod offers kits for. I think its bull ____ every time some one ask about a kit that it turns into ZPI vs Dezod. The fact that someone brought up its Dezod fault someone is selling they car is bull ____, dont act like zpi doesnt have its own technical problems. No one brought up ____ about whats been going on and no one will. Paul is great and so is Dezod, they put up with my requests and my annoying ___. I know if I ever need to get ahold of Dezod I can without a doubt. Best customer service ive already had...

To the original poster: sorry that you had to have all this happen in ur topic.

OK, guys and gals, open for business again after cleanup.

Let's keep it wholly on-topic and friendly...

Next time I lock it to clean it, it stays locked.
