I am considering getting the Turbonetics Turbo kit and i would like to hear from poeple that have the kit or had or know anything about. The reliablity and the power gains thank you. An pictures please show.

A lot of people are going to say that it really hasn't worked out for them and they have gone through turbo's like no other.

If you are looking to spend a lot less for a way better kit, check my signature!

yea but i dont plan to go crazy and do other crap and personaly i dont beat on my car would that make a dfference

Mightygnu

Well some people have gone through three turbo's with their turbonetics kit and some have gone through zero. It is an alright kit, i personally don't like it, and Dezod has the best customer service in the world.

Let me know if you are interested in my Dezod kit, it won't let you down.

so it a kit or miss situation, yea but the turbonetics warreties the motor and tranny and i dont have to tune it.

Mightygnu

To be honest, I haven't heard great things about the Turbonetics Turbo kit, and I know a few people who have had it that have had quite a bit of issues. The reason they have decide to provide a warrenty with their kit, is because no one would purchase it do to all the problems they were having and they lost so much business they were forced to do this.

Also, it is not completely true that you do not have to tune it, they provide a base tune, which is not location specific. Also there are very few Unichip tuners compared to Greddy Emanage tuners. The base tune is ok, but you should not be getting very boost happy as the Air pressure, and altitude seriously affects your tune.

Once again, let me know if you are interested!

I am one of those ppl who never had a problem with the kit. I LOVE IT!!!!! They have a 1 yr warranty on the kit and they offer a 3yr/36k mile powertrain warranty for a small fee. Being bias but it my fav kit and it looks great

Smokincivics

thanks bro will concider advice

Mightygnu

Congrats. It is a great looking kit regardless of some of the people who have had problems.

Personally, I just loved being able to personalize my kit, therefore went with Dezod!

^ I understand, the tnetics kit just happens to fit my preference on the mark. Wouldnt change anything about it except maybe they could include the new GTK turbo. that thing looks sweet.

Mightygnu

Yes, the GTK series is quite nice.

Dezod signature kit with AEM f/ic engine management (the best piggyback) with the dezod spec turbo T3/T67 = $4620

Dezod S1 tuner turbo kit with AEM f/ic engine management and the Dezod spec'd T3/T4 turbo = $4300

Turbonetics Turbo kit with unichip (not really that good, and yes it still needs a tune as the pre-tune on it causes you to run rich...probably causing so many turbos to go bad) = $4000 @ turbokits.com

Greddy turbo kit with greddy emanage ultimate = $4400

Turbo toyotas kit with greddy emanage = $4500

Treadstone turbo kit with greddy emanage = $3800 (but you need to cut your crash bar for the intercooler)

Sound Performance kit with apexi neo = $4500

now with a good tune, these kits should go between 250-280 whp on 8.5 psi...IMO the kit that offers the best of everything for your car and engine...is the dezod kit. Now, i've never dealt with dezod yet...probably because i live in fear of the cali laws...but after all the things i've seen on this site over the last 2 years...they seem to have the best kit...not necessarily for the numbers...but for the prolonged engine life and turbo life and the best fit for the tC's engine bay

Mightygnu

Ty, you forgot the most inexpensive kit.

Mightygnu's Dezod Kit = $3500

I made 308.5WHP @ 8.9psi

Thanks for the price breakdown Ty!

BuddhasTC

^^my bad chris. I wanted to help him out with the most unbiased breakdown possible...even though i am biased towards dezod...but at least this shows some more info

mospeedtc

Tnetics kit goes for a hole grand less than listed FYI.

Mightygnu

haha. thanks ty!

BuddhasTC

alright mospeed...i found it at turbokits.com for 4k or 3995 to be exact and that was the lowest

tlonas

Ive had the kit for about six months now with no problems and love it

mospeedtc

Thats where I bought it!!!! Sry didnt mean to sound picky but just want info to be right...

Mightygnu

Regardless of what kit you buy, make sure you are happy with it.
