TSI Turbo Kit

So hearing about this turbo kit and talking to others with it, the ONLY problem theyve had was the Turbo Manifold didnt fit right and needed to shave of a side of it in order to fit correctly. Any other problems then that?

Hey dude. Just finished my instal (TSI T25bb) and the manifold wasn't too much of a hassle to mess with, the only problem i'm having is it runs faster at 1/4 throttle then WOT, i think only cuz i need to do some tuning with the ICU, other than that, and even with that problem i'm amazingly satisfied!

Sounds like you had some knowledgable people installing it

To the poster: The manifold needs to be shaved a bit if you want to retain your a/c. Tuning isnt a huge issue because the settings are readily available on this board.

grindsman is an unknown quantity at this point
i've read about every tsi kit thread on here and i still can't decide if i want to get the tsi or dezod kit. I'd prefer to go with the tsi kit bc i want a t28bb and it is also much cheaper. although i don't know if i should just spend the extra thousand to get the dezod kit. i'm all about quality. sorry to jack your thread friend.
