Default So is ZPI gone?

I have read a couple of times that they have closed up, I have also read people saying to call them for help, and people looking to buy from them. So are they closed down cause I was going to buy one of their block packages next month and start a custom turbo. But if I cant get one of their built blocks ima have to go another way.

hate to be this guy but.... TOLD YA SO!!!!

thats for all the d-bags who flamed me incessantly 2 years ago when i said that ZPI was a hack shop that wouldn't last.

too many peoplre are naive to the fact that the scion brand, and tc in particular is a novelty trap for noobs who want to get into tuning, but don't really have any mechanical experience.

every aftermarket manufacturer and their mother immediately started fabbing up poorly R&D'd parts, full well knowing that there was going to be a rush to see who would be the first scion owner to break 300whp, 12 sec 1/4, etc... and knowing that scion owners are anxious to "be different" and thus want to "customize" their cars with off-the-shelf parts and bolt ons.

As soon as the scion brand was launched, many companies immediately saw dollar signs. knowing the demographic for these cars is rich or well-off, upper class kids with money to burn and little auto knowledge.

Search is your friend... there is a huge thread on here explaining the trials and tribulations of ZPI... as mentioned before, if you want a decent engine, go with Dezod, or Turbotoyotas

ZPI is gone, they F-ed everyone and their mother over and I do mean their mother. Really no sh!tting you. People warned other people and some listened and some didn't. I didn't but I do have to say that I didn't trust them much until I met Kenny and that was the problem for most people. He was and is such a BS artist and I along with others fell right into it, face first. In fact he's so good at his BS that there are still people hugging his nuts.

Just a future warning for anyone that sees this from google or some place... Don't fall for Kenny Stricklers BS, that is how he works. He'll make it seem like he knows how to fix everything and can give you such a great deal. He'll make you feel like you are getting treated like no other or a select few. Then he will throw in a few nice things to say about competitors and people that bad mouth him to get you to think he really is a good guy. Trust me when I say it's all BS to make a dollar. Con/BS artist, it really is an art how he works and that's about all he's good at. That's why Turbochargers.com hired him to push their products and then start a "sub" company call Artisan Performance to screw over all the untapped market of Nissan Altima people. The all mighty dollar is #1 in these companies eyes so be forewarned.

BTW, can't wait to find out the nice things he said about me.
