Does anyone know if the turbonetics stage 2 turbo. Any problems with it i've heard alot that the greddy turbo kit has problems is it true??

You must be ForPink`s brother, haha. Anyway, the GReddy turbo kit does have problems. One, they use worm gear instead of T-Bolts. Two, their wastegate is internal and gets stuck sometime. Also, the Turbonetics does have problems. One, their seals can give out easily. Two, it gets so hot that it damages the hood liner I hear. Hope this helps.

Go with either Dezod, for great customer service and parts, or Turbo Toyotas, for more potential. Good luck.

What kind of power are you looking to make that you could not achieve with the stage 1 turbo??

People have had a few problems with the Greddy turbo - but overall people don't have problems with it (it's mainly the internal waste gate people are having probs with).

Also - the Greddy stage one does not come with a Blow off Valve or an intercooler - both kinda of bad ideas.

Blow of valves extend the life of your turbo and the intercooler cools off the hot exhaust gases you are putting back into your car - those are other reasons why some people stray away from the Greddy kit.

Most people here on Scion Life have Dezod, TurboToyotas, ZPI (which no longer exists), Turbonetics or Treadstone.

turbonetics sucks unless you work out a custom watercooled system...

just go with dezod or turbo toyotas.

cause i wanted to get the turbnoetics just didnt know or really hear what its all about does anyone have and is running that turbo as we speak?? and what ahappen to ZPI??

bruceg

Yeah - quite a few people here are running turbonetics kits. ZPI shut down due to bad management/ bad business practices.

What makes you dead set on Turbonetics?

LoneWlf_Equivalence_CC

hmmmm not really dead set but just been looking into that one really do you think it would be a wise choice i dont drive all that much my job is like 4 miles away and every now and then the furthest i would go would be to Six flags??

20tCDude05

How would we know the distance to Six Flags when we don`t know where you live? Haha

LoneWlf_Equivalence_CC

ok hahah its about 50 miles to get there but thats on rare flings lol so like i said would it be good turbonetics be good anyone else have any use full info on that kit

20tCDude05

Go with Dezod dude, their customer service is immaculate. They actually care if you are satisfied or not. If I ever have a different car and want to install a turbo, they will be the 1st people I will go to. Dezod FTW.

Mr_Meaty

Greddy doesn't come with BOV or IC? So it's basically the ZPI Stage 0? Didn't know that.

Anyway, for what you want, small boost, easy on the car, I woudl go with one of dezods smaller kits or the Turbo Toyotas stage 1GT. I have the Turbo Toyotas stage 1 (not GT) which is good for more power, but the GT has the BB turbo, so should spool quicker and last longer.
You can get a BB upgrade with any of Dezods kits as well.

lol ok beside the fact from customer serivce cause i dont care for that much been there done that with C.C. but im not putting that down but is there anything else about Dezod that oh so better then the Turbonetic's Turbo

draxcaliber

yeah, the dezod kits use emanage instead of unichip as a piggyback ecu.

both can get the job done when tuning the car, but if you want to get your car properly tuned with a unichip, you have to find and go to a unichip tuner, while emanage can be tuned by just about anybody that knows how to.

LoneWlf_Equivalence_CC

i c does it have to use the unichip as a piggyback ??

Mr_Meaty

Well, it's included. You could buy a greddy or aem seperately, but then that's another $400 for the unit and $300 for the harness, so that ups the price.

Plus, with the dezod kit, it is more customizable for your particular needs. It also has more potential.

LoneWlf_Equivalence_CC

oh so it doesnt have to use the unichip it can just use the emange from Greddy??

Mr_Meaty

I don't see why not. But you unichip has a base tune, so you could run that for awhile. Then later, pull it and add the emanage and get that tuned.

LoneWlf_Equivalence_CC

yeah that sounds good actually is there anything else i would need to know

Candy Red high heat paint and flat black high heat paint, red or black rubber connectors, TRD stickers and some nice lookin hoses) for the mother****** win!!!

Remember: You can always install a BOV and the GReddy kit comes with a nice intercooler for 2600 (800bucks extra for EM and injectors) + that SUS manifold is the best lookin one!
