hmm first time ive heard of this turbo kit. The GReddy kit is pretty good though but I have to see what the other kit can put out.

Dang. Boasts a 46% hp gain over Greddy's 25%. And for about $200.00 less. Guess we'll never know for sure how good it is until someone buys it and dyno's it.

Nice Kit and has the G28R turbo. Better than my 16G on the greddy kit. Don't know much on the Fuel Management box but everything else is sweet.

Comes standard with TSI's proprietary fuel system, which includes a TSI interface block with 2 additional fuel injectors and controller unit (black box). The controller unit is adjustable, displays boost pressure, and has an integrated turbo timer. The settings are all pre-programmed to work right out of the box. A good dyno tune can still yield some additional horsepower though.
what are you supposed to do with 2 extra fuel injectors? it also doesnt really say what is used to tune this...besides a "black box"??

good price for a turbo kit if those 2 items can be addressed

One thing that makes me think its legit is the fact that this site procivic.com is actually selling this product. Procivic.com is a very respectable site, and I find it hard to believe that they would sell a product that would give their site a bad rep. Has anyone else bought stuff from procivic? I've bought a few things and havent had any problems.
