im looking to boost, and im in the process of talking with dezod but i didnt know if there were any other kits still out there...

i know the whole SF fiasco are they still around?
and then there is always custom but will that be more expensive in the long run


thanks guys

SF is bye bye....u can still get a used kit.

You can always go TSI....but i wouldn't

IMO....i would buy someone's used kit. Should have bought opto's b4 he parted out.

dezod is prolly going to be the best quality kit with the best parts right now

is a used turbo gonna last?

custom isn't necessarily going to be more expensive. and a used turbo will last just fine so long as it never experienced coking, is clean, and has no shaft play.

SFP makes the nicest manifold I've seen. 1-Fab built me a stainless downpipe and intercooler pipes. Custom is the way to go.

SF went bankrupt right?

I'm running the TSI Extreme Kit on my 2k2 Sedan Loving it and have yet to have any issues so I don't agree with what everyone else has said.

TSI kit is fine in my opinion, but instead of using 2 extra injectors, Id get bigger injectors and an emanage.

Tsi i would get for the price but dezod probably does have better quality parts thats why its more expensive

as in what? the manifold is better on the TSI kit as far as durability. I'm running a t24BB turbo and such.. just because it says TSI does not mean it came from them .. My kit came from another company with differnet parts but thats how they make sells of course

The Blow Off valve: we use TiAL or GReddy, not an unreliable, generic BOV.

The manifold: we use all stainless steel, theirs is cast iron.

The turbo: Both of us use Garrett, but our turbo is larger, therefore more bang for your buck

The wastegate: We use an external TiAL 38mm wastegate, which is more reliable and easier to tune. They use an internal wastegate, which is cheaper and less reliable.

All of our charge piping and downpipes are made from stainless steel.

We include a missing link to mask boost from the ECU.

Our extended downpipe includes a fully functional cat. Theirs does not.

Our wastegate is plumbed back into the exhaust to remain quieter and more emissions friendly.

For $3000 you can get their kit, or you can get our base kit of $3149. Choice is yours. The power, reliability and quality is here in our kit, but you have to want it and be willing to pay for it. Quality does not come cheap. I am sorry. Some people are satisfied with the second or third best, others will not settle anything shy of the best and back their investment 100%. Choice is yours.

reliability and cheap do not belong in the same sentance when it comes to forced induction..period...overall dezod might be more expensive, but you pay for the quality/name brand

if you are going to spend 3gs on a turbo kit whats an extra 1-200 for a better quality kit....
i dont understand why people are complaining about a difference of 1-200 for piece of mind......

My point exactly.

First off my BOV is tial it was part of my tsi kit I had a choice
2nd.. bigger turbo is not always better IMO
3rd my manifold is cast iron yes .. and the wastegate is piped back in so its jsut as quiet.
4th my kit came with a MAP box to mask off as you are stating


overall there is slight subtle differences in the dezod kit and mine and I paid about the same price. I am running the TSI extreme kti and have had no isses and very happy with it. Actually there are a few people in my area with the same kit as me now with no issues even.

Great. I am glad to see we raised the bar for TSI to follow, because none of this was the case when we carried the product line. That is why we stopped carrying their products. I am pleased YOU are pleased with your investment. You should be.

Mine has had no problem at all. Works just fine every time I let off the gas.

I dont think we will ever hear of a TSI manifold busting for our cars. THey are heavy duty, and wont break on you. Even if it is cast iron.

I cant argue with this. The piping is probably one of the cheapest part in the kit. Very good idea to get some new piping Mine has had no problem though, just too lightweight for me.

TSI Extreme kit includes a black box, which masks boost from the ECU. Exact same thing as missing link, except you wire it, it isnt a check valve. works the same though. Ive never had a CEL, and I think the transition into boost is pretty smooth.


yeah, they dont include a cat. I was lucky and got one somebody didnt need for 20 bucksm (Magnaflow). My friend at Midas welded it on and put a bung on for me, so I got hooked up, no CEL, and its legal.






Dezods kit is better quality, but you will have to spend a little more moiney getting up and running. TSIs is pretty good at doing that. You just have to pick up some gauges, fluids, plugs, somewhere for the gauges to mount, and maybe a few more misc stuff. With Dezods, you need an Emanage (which is pretty much needed for any setup for reliability), injectors, a way to supply the extra fuel. TSIs kit comes with 2 extra injectors and a block they are mounted in. It sits on top of the TB, and sprays in the extra fuel you need which is controlled by a unit they send you as well. StreetLevelPerformance may be able to get the eManage and TSI Extreme kit for under 3gs. or right around there. Id check that out.

btw, I have the tsi extreme, and am very happy with it.
