weezy, you have much to learn sir. It's going to cost quite a bit to get your simple kit up and running out of the box, atleast a hundred bucks for randoms stuff you have to get. I had to get longer bolts, washers, gaskets, wiring, hose, and just random stuff. It adds up fast so I hope you're prepared for it. Boosting isn't cheap by any means. Oh, and I forgot about tuning.

I'd be much happier if my charge pipes actually fit properly. They're lower than my bumper, and my BOV is positioned in the worst possible position, so the top of it actually touches my hood.

Sorry...I think P-tuning is awesome and everything...I would totally buy stuff from them, but let's hold off on hugging their nuts untill they actually start shipping some kits and we see some users install them at home...

are you saying you boosted on a budget?
#185
i know there is alot more to do untill my kit will be installed i never said i was going to install it the day it arrive's i won't be up and running untill end of july i do have a budget.. my bills come first then when i get the extra money ill buy the rest of what i need and i wont be installing untill i have the money for a tune also im doing this all by cash no credit cards so its gonna take a bit
#186
and why are we argueing over the dumbest sh it? we all have/getting a TT kit we should be helping each other out not bashing each other "oh ur kit is gonna fail bcuz ur on a budget" thats lame everone doesint have to spend over 5k if you can get everything done and running with a tune under 5k thats awsome
#187
Meh i love my TT kit. makes good power for what i paid for it. and ya you cant compare a TT kit to the Ptuning kit because there arent any ptuning kits out there yet. so the basis of "it makes way more power" is off of 1 car. and it doesnt make "way more power" then my car. 15whp on 2psi more on a dynojet. not to mention my AFR's are Effed and dip into 10 flats at times. actually most of 3rd gear is a 10.5 run.

im pretty sure i would have made the same whp with a dezod kit and my turbo also....
Its the fact that the heart of the kit..the piping is horrendoussssss and fits like it was pieced together in 12 minutes off ebay....
I still have no spipe in my hands that was suppossed to be sent with my kit....
I hadda wait ~4 months to get it with a ton of miscommunication and bullsh*t excuses in between...
It took the fun outta modding my car it made it a freakin headache and a pain...
But then i thought, oh wait, everyone says its worth th wait....
So install day comes and day 1 i dent my IC pipes from them being absurdly low....
No matter how u fanagle the piping its still low
Todd assured me he sent me the "fixed" piping....
So i went with dezod now....paul has been there for me 24/7 and not once has there been an issue...all the parts came at once and itll fit perfect

So what kind of businessman lies about the ship date of their kit? Someone waited about 3 1/2 months for the whole kit. NO S-pipe was sent. So why would you send anything out at all? Imagine buying a car and then having to wait 15 weeks to get the air bags installed, how would you feel? And then imagine receiving no lugs for the wheels. I would send the car back flying through the dealership window.
We drive scions, we dont have 100K+ salaries, these few thousands of dollars are A LOT of money to us. The least TT could do was provide a full kit within the FEDERAL LEGAL time frame. Have you no respect that we are supporting your business? I am sick of seeing members get screwed when nothing is being done about it.
Where is the fun in this? What kind of man, no better a business make high school excuses as to why things dont get finished? As a customer, I do not accept excuses. You are not my friend. I am here to buy something from you, I dont care whether or not you are my friend, if you're a jerk, or you're the best guy on earth. You are here to provide a service. If you cant do what you say you can, then why the hell are you pulling our chains?
Its very nice how TT likes to take peoples money, and make them wait... over a year? 3 months? Why are other companys shipping their kits out within DAYS of purchase?
Well whatever, good luck to all the people who are waiting for their parts. Just remember if you paid with a credit card you can reverse payment.

But honestly customer service and turn around time and piping issues are very serious issues that needs to be fixed, we know todd is trying hard but still how customers normally see these situations right now isnt good
#196
You said it very well ace. The EL style manifold is definitely a huge reason why i bought the kit. Since there isn't and EL competition, I think that's why people still buy kit. PTuning is around the corner ready to swoop up all those customers tough, so its not looking good for TT. Todd is definitely going to clean up his game if he's going to make it work. Better communication, better turn around time, better fitment, all those need to be improved on.

1200.00 for
TTV2.1 manifold
Intercooler
all IC pipping
AEM dry flow
2 slim radiator fans
2.5 dp/ s pipe that fits.
90 coupler
than 900.00 for
T3/T4 60ar cold .82 ar hot garrette journal bearing turbo
Extra intercooler witch I am selling
HKS SSQV limited
so that puts me at 2100 and I still need
Injectors-
ECU-720.00
Couplers-100
Oil lines- 125.00
Tune- 500
Vacuum block-45.00
Tbolt clamps-40.00
MISCELLANEOUS parts. -100
witch puts me in the neighborhood of anywhere from 3100 - 4g
4g with gauges and clutch kit. That is 1g lower than the 5g stated to make it not a ____ kit. None of my parts are ____ either. So it can be done if bargain shopping it and finding good deals on here or anywhere else for that matter.

its so sad that todd had to fucck over his business reputation so badly. the man put a great product out on the market that is now going to be tainted by the fact that he cant run a business. so even though ptuning has still not shipped a single kit, people already believe that there kit is better in every way based heavily on there business reputation.

my tt kit is amazing i get more love thenn a cute blond at spring break most commons question is why
my fitment was ok
down pipe was a little off but being it was the first 3 inch down pipe on a xb i understand my pipes are nice and out of the way
just everything works so nicely i have had no problems i still never received my aem dryflow filter but who cares the down pipe fix was easy cause of my custom exhaust
i did get lied to about lead times shipping and yeah kinda sucks but what can you do
