What do you all think?

i've felt first hand what a safe/mild tune does on a tvs w/ supporting mods injection and head work. and its pleanty fast enough for the money. not to mention it has another tune that is just sick.

just so you know on the twincharge kit, the SC has a larger than stock pulley . its not really doing anything but help spool a little bit but it will also raise intake air temp. and with a properly sized turbo you can have great spool and be very efficient

Not to be biased, but I would say to go with a tvs. The tvs has a way broader spectrum of what you can do with the car and how much power you actually want to run. The zzp kit is great for power, but once it's done..., well it's done. There is no scaling down of power, or room to improve. I'm not knocking the first person, or second that decided to have it done, but I think the problem with the first installed kit came there. Don't take me as knocking the company for the work they did..., they even offered to fix things but there isn't much room for improvement as they feel they've constructed the ultimate kit.
