i have hands on experience with their kits and i can tell you no corners were cut when designing their kit
their manifold is made in shop and is an amazing piece of art, the way the manifold is setup it allows the turbo to sit lower allowing for much mroe room in the engine bay,
its the only production kit that utilizes blow-thru maf setup, which makes boost feel like a factory car, and also if u had a intercooler pipe pop off u can still drive around( other setups will stall and not drive)

heres the link its cheaper than that kit u were looking at and is definately of much more quality

Sound performance kit also uses blow trough maf setup.

Oh and i wanted to add that the dezod kit is a cake walk to install. Speaking from personal experience. I'm sure the ptuning kit is too, but i haven't worked with it.

you wont...lol
one of the buttholes there pretty much took components from a turbonetics version 1 kit, made a custom 2.25" downpipe, chrome plated the manifold, put the cheesiest front mount intercooler in that requires you to ditch the crash bar, made custom intercooler pipes without putting a bov on it (yes no bov whatsoever) and called it a day.

That it is. I would suggest opting for the signature kit where you can basically build your own with a slew of turbo options......*cough*GT3076R*

How exactly would i go about opting for a kit like that?

I like my Turbonetics kit.
It was the cheapest option at the time I purchased.
A few months later, Dezod dropped their price and in doing so, ____ed me off! I would have bought theirs had I waited.
Oh well. My turbonetics kit is still kicking 10k miles, and over a year later.
