I like some parts of your kit a lot more than descendants. However at the price i paid forvit, i havebno right to complain. Also paul i have a question. How did you guys fit a front mount to the car? Did you have to cut the bumper or w.e? Im a friend of mikes by the way. Good guy. His tcvturned out really nice

One, buy our IC pipes and IC and make it fit your kit. We do sell all of the individual parts for our kit.
or
Two, by our IC and make your own pipes to fit using part of what you have.

DESCENDANT FTW! the price is amazing for what you get. I got it back about 5 months ago and imvglad i got this kit. Theyve been working with tcs especially longer than anyone out there, their cars and even their service speaks for itself. Descendant is the way to go, never second guessed it.
-We started competing in time attack events with our shop car from 2007-2009 testing out all of our components before putting them into production.
-The PTUNING Scion tC1 Spec-SS turbo kit was designed from various features of our Time Attack tC turbo system. In fact the turbo manifold on the Spec-SS turbo kit utilized the exact manifold as on our 2008 Time Attack tC.We also designed the Spec-SS turbo kit to overcome a lot of deficicies we saw with other turbo kits on the market at that time. These deficiencies included log manifold, top mount turbo (heat issue and melting the factory fan shroud), poor fitment, blow-by setup, and more.
The PTUNING Spec-SS, from the very beginning uses a race proven equal length tubular manifold, low mount turbo, aftermarket radiator fans, blow through setup, and much more.

Honestly, all reviews of turbo's are going to be bias. If I have a PTuning kit and have had fun with it, I will say PTuning is awesome so you should get one. If I have had a PTuning kit and have had 1 or more problems, I will say it stinks and get a Descendant kit. And vise versa.
The only way to realistically compare them is to get 2 vehicles in the same condition with the same performance mods side by side with the 2 different turbos on them. PTuning has been trying to do this but nobody has taken them up on their offer. Until then, it's all about reputation and (perhaps) bias hear say
