Yeah I have been waiting for the descendant turbo kit for a while now and I have been looking into turbo toyotas kits for a while also.

Well i talked to one of the guys that works for World Racing this weekend at the Nopi event in New Hampshire. He said that the descendant turbo kit will be released soon, he didn't give me a date or a price but there just waiting for Chris Rado's final word on the turbo kit. He just wants to get all the bugs out of it and sell a reliable / perfect kit.
The Rado car looks great up close, the body, the turbo and all the james bond type of stuff.

Now on a note to that a rebuttle would probably be that toyota might offer the reflash at their dealerships, but on that note "most" toyota employees only know how to service a car not tune them. their trd parts are fool proof, like the supercharger. reflash the ecu and send the customer on their way. they dont take into consideration the addition of headers, exhaust, and the many other upgrades that would require tuning. I like the fact i can grab my laptop and talk to my computer and tune my car now, makes life a world easier.

this reflashing of the stock ecu seems interesting...,. this sounds kinda like hondata which reflashes the stock ecu, buts at the same time its a full ems too and its jus as good as the aem and people are able to tune the carr w/ the hondata... usually honda owners would ship out the ecu and have it shipped back to them... and ur able to plug it to ur laptop too.... if something like that comes for our tc's that would be reallly tight!

to the guys who posted about talking with the guy who was at NOPI and "Works" for "World Engineering"... --->
He is a scion Corporate Employee. He does not have direct association with The rado Kit. All he was doing was throwing you the corporate line. he knows no more about the kit than we do. In fact we probably know more about the kit then he did. He didn’t even know what kind of manifold that the kit uses.... I asked him a few technical questions about the car and he could only answer the ones that came on the memo he got before took over the SCION booth he was in. World Engineering Was not at NOPI this year @ ATL MS.
on a side note. the car is very well done and Toyota Paid WAYYYYY tooo much money for that car. It does have a few cool features though. such as a remote controlled Helicopter that will launch from the back of the car and be controlled by a Tv in the driver side visor.
anyways, I beginning to think that with Toyota's tendency to change up models every 4 years, this kit at the last minute will be canned then quickly opted for a new system developed for a different platform.

honestly, why is this thread still alive? Who cares! There are so many awesome kits out there and this is just not happening in this decade. If you REALLY want info on this kit because you are serious about it, call them and they will make you one. Honestly, I got the run around when I was asking about it with money in hand to purchase whatever they could fabricate. I lost faith around page 16....

Heck for 6K just about any professional Shop will custom fab a turbo kit for you. So if there are a bunch of you with cash in hand...do a little research and find a local shop to do it. the market is saturated with them right now.

I think those that are still waiting on this kit are people thinking that it will be priced in the $4000 range and not taking into consideration all the extra costs that go into boosting your car.
