Reliable vendor for TSI Extreme ?

I think SF is dead or about to be dead.
Does anyone know reliable vendor for TSI kit (appart from www.turbo-kits.com) ?
www.streetlegal-performance.com has T25 BB for $2600. Did anyone deal with them?

www.streetlegal-performance.com lists "Ball Bearing T-25 Extreme kit" for $2600.00, where www.needboost.com has the same kit for over $3000
It is $400 discount. It sounds as a great deal to me, but I'm sceptical if the product is "as advertised" correct. Hmm...

Id read THIS post first to see what your dealing with... not too many happy customers with the TSI Kit (install is ridiculous)

http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=184031

Also, Id spend the extra money for the T28BB. T25 is a hair dryer. Unless of course your strapped for cash! (And if you decide to go ahead and get the kid regardless of what I said)

Yes I see, I follow that post as well. The opinion is exactly at 50/50, either
works or works with diffuculties.
The good side of it that I did not hear anyone saying that they have ordered and got nothing (robbded of $ ?) in return.

As of now I'm biasing towards TSI still.
T25 BB I think should be best HP per $.

Well, umm I think getting the things you paid for in the kit should be pretty standard dont you? Getting the kid and saying ALRIGHT! it came with everything it was suppose to! Well otherwise from installation, let me remind you TSI has been nothing but un-helpful in helping the situation with the install on Steve's car. The tech knows NOTHING and 90% of the time they say theyll call back with directions and they never call. I seriously reccomend giving your hard-earned money to someone else, those people dont deserve it... even the guy at Precision Tuning installing Steve's kit said the same. He does NOT reccomend this kit to anyone not just because of the kit itself, but just the customer service as well. Im just tryin to help you out and not make the same mistakes people like Steve made by buying that kit!

I just dont see any other option at this time. I'm already preparing myself for some issues with kit.
I realy want to know specifics that come around installing the kit.
I've heard that the manifold doesnt filt properly and some work requitred to install it. But I did not find anything else apart from missing or unfit part to the kit.
I with there was an altrnative with another kit for under $3000 US!

I feel ya, but sometimes its best to just wait for something better to come, you shouldnt settle. I know my friend Steve whose car has been away for 2 weeks trying to get this kit to fit on his car wishes he never got it. Im sure after all is said and done it will be OK but by that time he is going to need a clutch
