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!

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!

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.

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
