I noticed no one in here mentioned the treadstone kit? I'm not personally using it but I've never heard anything bad about it. It's the kit I have my eye on and it's only about $3k for the kit. Of course I still plan on saving up $4500-$5k in the end. Just wondering if there is a particular reason the treadstone kit was never mentioned?

Also my main concern with the turbo toyotas kit is how low some of the pipes sit to the ground. Idk how much problems it might cause but it makes me REALLY uncomfortable especially considering how the roads are out here (as well as all the !@#$% train tracks and steep driveways)

Well, you DO have to cut the foux vents out of your bumper to make the intercooler fit for the treadstone. aen has been having a hell of a time gettin them to send him parts, and liltrblsom put the emanage on with their kit and it blew out his ECU. Oh, and another guy had issues with the turbo not clearing the fan shroud...other then that, I'm sure it's a great kit!
What springs are you lowered on? Those IC pipes aren't much lower then the plastic shrouwn under the front bumper. My angle makes it look way low, plus I don't have the plastic on anymore, so it looks even lower.
I didn't get a chance to move them around this weekend...maybe next weekend.

Treadstone offers a nice kit but tends to require hacking of the bumper...looks nice, i did it but admittedly kind of scary. Also they offer hardly any customer service. And if you want a bigger turbo they give it to you and cross their fingers that the downpipe will fit correctly

Hey, I never said it was a ____ty kit. He simply siad he had NEVER heard anything bad about it. So I was pointed out what I HEARD. It does not change that fact that their website specifically states that you should not run their kit with the greddy emangage. ZPI didn't even do that!
You said you ran the kit for awhile...do you still have it?
I mean, honestly, a turbo kit is a turbo kit. The TT kit has an EL Manifold which sets it apart. Dezod has excelent customer service and multiple configurations which sets them apart. What treadstone has that sets them appart is that fact that you have to cut your bumper open...not my cup of tea.
But the question was bang for you buck...the TT kit is $600 more then the Treadstone kit...but you also need injectors and management...but the POTENTIAL of the kit is over 400whp. That is how I define bang for you buck.

Just like the treadstone with clearing the fans, it depends on how you mount the pipes. Just push them all the way in and you should be fine.
Yeah, I heard the treadstone ran better without the emanage, and I don't like NOT haveing the optoin to tune it if I want to.
Why don't you have the kit any more, and what do you have now?

Mr. Meaty: I'm lowered on the TRD springs with the TRD struts/shocks. And I noticed someone mentioned they fixed the issues with the pipes being so low?
I don't plan on going turbo for at least 6-7 months (maybe more..crap happens) so It's not like I don't have time to continue to research. Just an FYI the kits i've been kinda looking at are the Dezod, Treadstone, and TT kit.
Also with the TT kit is there a reason to get the stage 1 gt over just the regular stage 1 kit?
