tsi turbo kit

micyj30 · 11-12-2007, 12:54 AM

I was just looking around on some site and came across a new turbo kit out there. It seems very comparable to the greddy kit for about the same price, but it claims to get a 46% power gain rather then the 25% with the greddy. I have never heard of TSI (Turbo specialist) and was just wounder thoughts on this kit. looking to get a turbo kit soon and want to get something that i can still use as a DD. Any info on the company will help. Here is the link to it i found on procivic.com

what didn't they trust and where's your link for more info?

se7engen_ride · 11-12-2007, 07:30 AM

some say they dont trust it because "they never heard of the kit before."

I am in the process of putting this kit on for a customer. I have had the kit installed for about 2 weeks now but i have been having problems with the tuning portion of it. The piggyback system that TSI sends you is JUNK !!!!!!. they know it to, i had numerous amounts of problems with it .They sent me out a greddy emanage ultimate to replace the one that comes with the kit. There customer service is great and they are a good company and are more than willing to get it right. So in my opinion its not a bad kit at all, They are currently in the proses of developing something with AEM for the tuning portion of the kit. Once thats all done it will be a great kit for the money

YEah there tunning system does suck.. My friend has the prototype Si they used for the turbo kit and it hasnt run good at all.. TSI is going to send him a AEM pre tuned so lets see how this works on the system.

Mr Bigs · 11-13-2007, 11:50 AM

How is the quality of the other components Turbo,manifold etc ?

TotalPower · 11-13-2007, 12:13 PM

Its all very nice, its a good kit with the exception of the Tuning system they had. Once that is all taken care of it will be perfect

Mr Bigs · 11-13-2007, 12:34 PM

As many other companies have found the factory ecu is a real P.I.T.A to deal with and can't be easily circumvented.

The only AEM product for our vehicle is still in BETA so i wouldn't count on this anytime soon.

"TSI is in the process of revising the fuel system on this kit to make more power. Currently, the kit makes considerably more power than stock, but not as much as TSI originally wanted. We recommend waiting to buy this kit until the system is revised and optimized. If you do choose to buy the kit now, you will be sent the revised fuel system once it is finished."

TotalPower · 11-13-2007, 01:02 PM

well actually TSI has a SI at AEM right now getting tuned. TSI is are expecting to get it back today or tomorrow so i think i might not be that far away.

***Nathen*** · 11-13-2007, 01:07 PM

Well... redshift has a beta unit. Greg are they able to sell these to general public yet?

***Highrev1*** · 11-13-2007, 01:08 PM

Yes....you can go buy one, but they aren't funtioning properly from what I understand, but I already discussed this issue with some of the engineers and have figured out a solution...

***Nathen*** · 11-13-2007, 01:10 PM

excellent news!

***Highrev1*** · 11-13-2007, 01:10 PM

Does totalpower work for TSI?

***Nathen*** · 11-13-2007, 01:11 PM

If he did I would think he would refer to TSI as 'we', but maybe hes being stealth hehe

Mr Bigs · 11-13-2007, 01:32 PM

This is good news !!!! Hondata will probably step it up, even though I believe they're working on a setup.
