I'm looking into F/I pretty soon and wanted the stage 0 because i kinda have a limited budget..but ZPI is no more.. so I thought about the supercharger but even the mechanics at toyota told me its not worth it.. so what would be my next cheapest option??

 

Contact Whocares05050 on his thread here https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=191649

He's selling his stage1 but can probably put together a stage 0 kit out of it for a great price. I can assure you, you won't find anything cheaper that new.

 

find a group buy, wholesale turbo kit sale. or even maybe piece together your parts.

homemadeturbo.com this site will teach you a lot about looking for parts and whatnot. my best advice i can give you is that ebay intercoolers you can hardly go wrong if you look around at the right places. beware of faulty manifolds, wastegates, bov, and especially, the turbos.

 

thanks for the help il check into both of those... what about full kits? and where can i find the group buys or wholesales?

 

Forced induction + limited budget should never be in the same sentence.

 

Turbo kit is pending. Im waiting paypal, but its for someone upgrading a stage 0. so if you want, ill have the mani, turbo, MAf PIPE, and some other things, lol.

Treadstone is pretty cheap, also greddy

 

I have a stage 0 intake pipe (from turbo to throttle body) just laying around and it even has a tial blow off valve on it if you want.

 

Well there you go. You will have a couplete stage 0! haha

Pm the both of us. Im not doing anything with my parts now. ittll be complete for you!

 

treadstone is a good kit

 

After parting everything out, i have a full zpi stage 0 for sale in the coming days. PM me if you are interested.

 

that might have been said but .its late and don't feel like reading all the post. if your want a inexpensive turbo kit. do it this way.

step 1 look around for a turbo kits you want. write down everything that comes in that kits.
step 2 do you home work on individual pricing of the parts in the turbo.
step 3 start looking on line. for all the parts you need. if you want new. call every company you can. (call not email) and ask them what are there prices on the parts they have.
if you want used look on ebay. it might take you up to a year to find everything you want for around the price you want to pay. but you will find it.
step 4 once you have every single part you NEED for you set yup. Grab some friends and have an install day.

but before you do that.. got your local bookstore. and read up on turbo systems. read as much as you can. Call companies that specialize in turbs. and ask them as many questions as you can.. they will give you that most informed answers.

hope that helps you some..

 

zpi was the cheapest apparently
as for inexpensive, dezod seems to have good price of quality
