I think we have a new slogan for our turbo kit... "PTUNING turbo kit: 100+WHP and up to 10MPG gain!"

Hey stalker,
Here is a link to the PTUNING tc2 turbo kit video. I believe I got and responded to your personal email.
thanks Drew.

IMPORTANT READ:
I was asked to chime in here about why we designed our turbo manifold the way we did and why the design is superior to others on the market. Having designed and/or tuned hundreds of different turbo platforms each year we know what works well and what doesn't.
We went through several designs before settling on the current production turbo manifold. An efficient turbo manifold is pointless unless it is coupled to a well designed, free-flowing downpipe. Any good turbo system cannot have one without the other, period. There's no sense in having the craziest looking turbo manifold when the turbo ultimately dumps into a downpipe that is welded on the the turbine outlet flange at a grossly cheated angle.
Think about it for a second. Once the exhaust gases are done spinning the turbo it needs to evacuate itself from the turbine housing as quickly and efficiently as possible. A well designed downpipe promotes much quicker spool-up, better transient response, and ultimately much better VE, which as we all know contributes to big power.
Now onto my main point about our turbo manifold design. If you look at the merge collector, it is highly offset to the driver's side of the engine compartment. We tried on center and slightly off center merge collectors first, but we were COMPLETELY unhappy with the compromise in the downpipe design.
There is simply not enough room to build a proper downpipe with the way the tC2 engine compartment is layed out. This is therefore THE REASON we went through so many different manifold designs. We needed to offset the turbo way over to the driver's side in order to build the perfect downpipe.
So again, those who are familiar with proper turbo system design.....look at why we do things the way we do. We feel the battery relocation is 100% necessary to achieve our goal of a "performance first" turbo design.
We didn't do this just to force you run an aftermarket battery or to make things more complex for ourselves or just because it looks JDM. We did it because it happens to be in our way, LOL. This refusal to compromise our design because of how the factory lays out their engine compartment is what sets ALL of our turbo systems apart from the others.

No cheat bends off of the turbine outlet flange. Just smooth, true radius bends:

^ Man speaks the truth.
One thing that PTuning deals with on a regular basis, is working with and tuning many many different turbo systems ( not just on Scions). Most factory normally aspirated cars odviously were not designed for adding aftermarket turbo kits. The thing that separates PTuning turbo kits from other kits; is the utilization of specially designed components ( motor mounts, battery trays, oil scavenging systems) to ensure the most performance oriented and best
designed turbo kit layout.
Another thing which separates PTuning turbo systems apart from other kits.... Extensive research and developement. The dyno has a huge part of that, and we have one.
There have been phases in testing turbo kits where one of us isn't happy with something. The car comes off the dyno, and a kit component will be totally re worked. By the time the kit is produced, it has been extensively tested. PTuning will never produce something in any other manor. We will never come up with a turbo kit, mail it to a customer, and hope for the best ( not knowing what it will do on the dyno ). There are other kits out there ( not just Scions) which are very evident on the lack of the "research" part of the r&d process... Such as boost creep issues (for example).
