I say vs-xx, those things are beautiful. IDK where you are located but with the turbo kit i say maybe find one closes to you. I'm about 3 hours from ptuning so if I was buying one I'd probably look more into their product so if I ever ran into issues with it or wanteds them to work on it, I'd have a legit option. Descendant kit is nice too and from what I've read it does make power.

Dezod is in New York, I'm located in NH I've considered going to them yet have had mixed feelings. The install isn't an issue car club I am part of has a shop and the mechanic can manage it no problem...

The vs-xx are gorgeous my other rim option that i am considering is:

Thanks for the info about the kit, I'll consider it I'm just looking for boost as the next check of things to order and I need to get that done before I start the wire tuck...

Go with Dezod man. I love my kit and they are a great company. I highly recommend having them tune you on an APR X1

Thanks for the opinion guys, I'm not looking to make a ton of power out of boosting it, I'm too low to worry about a performance build so a base at 8psi will fit my needs fine it's more for the bigger shows world of wheels import face off etc etc that require mods up the bum to do well.

Glad to hear the positive opinions on dezod, they have the garett turbos in their kits and that is probably the deciding factor for me, if i ever do build the engine i won't worry about uping the boost!

@BluRibbonTc thanks bud! I've got a lot more work to do and the front will be on the ground when i get my next set of rims, i'm going from 18s back to 17s on rubber bands

Search about the companies. The more you ask Which company is better the quicker this thread will get locked. Everyone has their opinions. I would say either go ptuning or dezod.

Didn't ask what one is better simply asked for an opinion on what one to get and stated i'm leaning towards dezod because the kit comes with a garret turbo as I've state not worried about performance this is just a show car, have other cars to play with. Just hitting another item off the checklist the thread isn't merely about turbos either it's about rim selection and gathering info, please read the thread to post.
