We h ave looked at Descendant kit, ans we found it to be very high quality. In fact, our kit contains some parts made by Descendant, but we did not like the powerband it gives. More HP at high RPM than ours, but less power before. Also, if you look carefully on their youtube video, you see that the boost level starts from 2PSI and finishes around 8-10PSI at 6000rpm.
Our boost curve is 8PSI from 2800 RPM up to redline (6300). Make a more predictable car, and a bit more low-end torque. Our kit has less parts to install too.
I personally think they chose a too big turbo for the car, but on the other hand, they give you all necessary components to make a LOT more power if you replace the OEM clutch and build the motor.
Our Stage 1 kit does not gives much more room for power (well, it does, but not as much as theirs). We aim at daily driven cars, driven by a wide range of people. If Toyota had made this car turbo from the factory, it would resemble our kit more than Descendant I think.

Ah, thanks for the thoughtful response. The only reason I was really concerned was that the stock motor produces a compression ration of 10.4:1 I believe. Isn't it kind of dangerous to turbo with that high of compression?
I feel safer, now that your kit is almost ready to hit production. I know the descendant kit produces more power, however like you said, I fall into the daily driver category. Therefor, I would most likely go with this kit.

10.4:1 is not an issue at all. Honda's motor with more than 11:1 ratio are boosted on a regular basis with no issue. It all depends how bad you're boosting the engine. You need to respect how the motor has been built for a safe setup.

Depends on your right foot. I like what you guys are shooting for.. A turbo kit with more power in the lower revs will be more reliable and fun to drive. I don't want my D.D. to run like a 125CC 2 stroke dirt bike. I could care less if I am making 500h.p at 5500rpms if I am only getting 150hp at 2800rpms. I'm not racing nor am I trying to impress anyone on here. I just want more power where it is needed. I will be waiting!
