Which kit in your opinion is better and why?

 

theres really no comparison since nobody has installed a treadstone kit yet so nobody has any real world feedback other than what Treadstones rep has to say to us. So for now ZPI ftw

 

I would give Treadstone a chance based on what I heard about ZPI's shipping. I really have no patience for that kind of stuff even though I heard a lot of people very happy about their ZPI kit.

 

not to sounnd like an ___ but all you really here about is people on here who heard about shipping times sucking like you said.. And only three people on here will actually _____h and moan about the shipping, the rest act like high schoolers and join the band wagon...

BTW TRDTCPR that was NOT directed at you just a general statement... the Treadstone kid seems nice but something just seems fishy, can't put my finger on it

 

I voted ZPI. Even though people complain about the shipping. They still have proven thier kit provide tons of power.

 

don't worry, I voted for treadstone because it's new and not to many have it, I think they said to have sold 3 kits but no review from costumers yet, and about ZPI as I said I don't have patience and knowing this I would not risk it anyways ZPI's kit is very nice and has the option for easy upgrading later on. If it were my choice I would go GReddy kit because it looks the best IMO but then again that's just me.

 

Im totally putting that in my sig.. Not often you say this..

Stage 1 street tested and proven...

 

Trendstone does not include a fuel system. Only larger injectors, which they claim to have flow tested and this that and the other. Management wins hands down over drop in injectors in my opinion.


I would also advise looking around and seeing what everyone else has to offer. Not trying to threadjack, but, check out Dezod's kit. An entirely plug and play kit FTW!

 

zpiiii

 

Treadstone, because I have bought parts from them before, and I recieved them...FAST!!! :D

 

I was waiting for someone to pick up on that one
I figured it woulda been you or Travis lol

 

Of those two…
Treadstone… with the T3/T4 you would have more options for turbo upgrades, and you wouldn’t have that nasty J bend in the IC pipe coming out of the turbo.

But I hope you're not putting those two before Dezod’s kit that would be a mistake. No question that is the best choice by far of the three!

 

Too early to say.

 

Just a question, but isn't the POLL about the performance of a turbo kit vs the performance of another turbo kit?

If the POLL was about SHIPPING, then it should respectfully be titled so. Otherwise, shipping has nothing to do with product performance.

 

Im curious to see what the numbers are for a treadstone kit thats on a customer car cause the 350whp they claim is not gonna happen

 

do you have a link to Treadstones kit?

 

Treadstone and ZPI has advantages over each other. Zpi has time in the market, proven power, and generally are somewhat easy to get a hold of. Treadstone is a new player in the Scion market but has shown some early promise...now I know we are all going to say Fuel and ecu over just Fuel. But with the cost of treadstones kit running about 3400 Emanage is a very affordable option and you chime in at a lower price than the stage 1. If you are new to boost go with Dezod or Greddy. Dezod due to support and market knowledge and Greddy due to general cost and completeness of kit.

 

If you look at the dyno on their site, it says the kit was running on 15 lbs during the run and netted 322whp and 326tq.


The numbers are rather low though for 7lbs. It dynoed 213whp and 198tq @ 7lbs. Probably turbo efficiency had something to do with that.


PS...I can't imagine the 322whp on a stock ECU

 

Im gonna give ZPI this one untill Treadstone can post up some 8psi tuned numbers. Even still I dont like the looks of treadstones kit. Sorry.

 

Treadstones kit and Zpi sacrifice SAFETY in the name of Power what good is power if you Die in a wreck? I vote no on both if we are going off of general safe practices. The crash bar should never be touched to increase intercooler size.
