Rep Power: 234 Should I Buy The Used TSI Kit?
A friend of mine bought the TSI turbo kit off this link "http://www.procivic.com/pages-product_car_part_info/category-70_88/product-505/engine-forced-induction-turbo-specialties-extreme-turbo-kit.html" He has had it for about 1,200 miles. He has it tuned on 5PSI and its runin good no CEL or idle problems. He is sellin it for $1000 and he well help me durin the day to swap his turbo kit onto my car and take my stuff off and put it on his car. Should I do this?? Yes I know the Dezod kit is the best, but Im just tryin 2 decide if I should do this, or get the Dezod kit at the group buy price? thxx

Rep Power: 234 Well its the TSI kit. its has that shitty *** 2 injector setup that is by ur intake.. idk.. its on a internal wastegate t25.. and on 5psi idk how much power it makes. but like if i did do it. i would be getting a deff fuel setup later on and a new mani and turbo.. but they that will all end up costin me the same as the dezod kit now right? turbo $650, mani $500, ECU $800, injectors $400 new, waste gate $100 or so

Rep Power: 0 ya thats a good deal for that kit but my deal is better....
SF kit- EL manifold, t3/t4 turbo, emanage+support tool+injectors, boost+A/F guages and 2 1/4 exhaust.
im looking for $1800.
the 800$ more is worth the EL mani, t3/t4 turbo and fuel management.
plus im including guages and exhaust.
let me know if ur interested.

Rep Power: 326 I would do it if I were in your shoes but I would start upgrading asap. Especially with that fuel setup. In fact, I wouldn't even run it, myself. Pick up an emanage and rsx injectos asap.

Rep Power: 255 do it...i bought a whole tsi kit off of some local guy for 750, sold the safc2 to a dsm buddy for 150, so i paid 600 for everything...and with money made i bought rsx injectors and other misc things...and all i need now is greddy emanage...so all in all i think ill end up paying less than 1500 for my setup...
i say do it...its a good kit to start out with...but i just dont like some of the stuff and you can upgrade it easily...

Rep Power: 249 well it could be the dyno or the person tuning the dyno adjusting it so the numbers come out higher. 230 is really hard to believe. On cams 6psi rsx injectors emanage maybe 200ish give or take
