I think this has been discussed before. I still think the SF is better.

I thought I had seen the comparison before as well but I couldn't find the thread, so if someone does, please tell me. Just want to make the best choice. what make the most power? Why? Is the Vortech FMU and easier install? Isn't the T25BB a more durable, faster spooling Turbo? These are some of the things I want to know.... Thanks, for your help guys...

The T25 will spool faster, but the T3 will make more power.

The SF Fuel Kit works great. I'm not to sure about the other one. Over all the SF kit is the best out there right now.

BTW it's not a turbonetics kit, it's made by TSI- Turbo Specialties, and also sold by Turbo Discounters. It just happens to use a turbonetics turbo.

The TSI kit uses a simple black box that controls 2 extra injectors. For what it is, it works just fine, though you will eventually need to upgrade your fuel system if you plan on running significantly more boost.

Exactly. The good thing about the SF kit is that the fuel kit and run up to 12psi on factor injectors and fuel pump. Although your internals will not be able to hold 12, you can do it. ha. If you want a kit that is upgradeable and you can use with high boost get the SF kit. If you just want to run no more than 8psi just to get alittle more power get the other kit.

Put over all you will run just as much if not more power with the SF on low boost as you would with the other kit on high boost.

thanks alot guys, really, what sucks now though is I will have to save my money and turn down a friend that I was buying the TDEK for 2100 shipped. Now I will have to wait for the extra money, I've seen many SF kits for sale, is there still one out on the board there for less?

I was actually going to buy the TD extreme kit before Eddie got me on the truehonda groupbuy. I kind of regret it right now though, since I haven't heard a single word about my SF kit, just a lot of promises and a few kits being shipped to people that bought last year.
