Default Can We Reveal The Truth and end the game? Please!

Ok, over the last 4 hours, I've seen more hater posts on here than michaeljackson.com

Back on subject, What's happening is due to lack of pics or shipping with the exception of ZPI's TC video which is SWEET. There is obviously some doubt about quantity, availability, reliability and frankly, ZPI should understand this at $2500 a pop to the ZPI backers now dealing with all the haters.

I'm simply tired of all this and it's frankly ruining my FI excitement with even a "remote" chance of getting screwed. Timing is everything and with the supercharger now scheduled to release next month from TRD, well, you get the point.

Pics from test cars would solve this once and for all and shut these people up, remove any doubts and reinstall "total" confidence. Or, a pic of all the kits in a pile waiting to go out works too.

Can someone throw this old dog a bone?.....I SAID THROW (as in no bone jokes)

I agree this would be nice. I have kept my cool for a good while now, and wasnt really concerned until all these new posts started popping up recently... I would really like to see something to put my mind at ease especially since I have already paid for my stage 1 in full

^^ Totally agree with you but parting with over a couple of grand freaks me out if all I have is thin air.

We are not at our main shop tonight so we can only post the ppics that we have taken tonight. These should hold you over for awhile. I am sure that our 'friends' will have something to say as always



Gray Scion TC-t getting a clutch so that we can get some better times and turn up the boost. The 16g looks right at home



The gray car during pizza break awaiting to be put back togther



Turbo Manifold partially finished



Joe Russo's Black TC soon to be turbo. Look out he is packing a little more than a stage 1.



16g just wanting to go to it's new home. 16g used to love mitsu now love scion



Brad welding manifolds in the middle of the night trying to get caught up.



This is why we can offer a lifetime warranty on our manifolds!!!!!

Thanks guys, we know we haven't posted much but we are dumbfounded. We deal with this everyday I can ssure you that these guys all support one local shop and they all have it out for us anyway they can.

We will just be glad when the the facts shine through although we don't feel they will ever stop until an admin makes them. We can assure you that we know the orders will triple once released and we would not jeopardize that or our rep with the Scion community to run off your money that you would chargeback anyway.

Thanks for supporting us and you will not be disappointed.

Sciondad, as soon as you get this kit I am expecting full testing, and an extensive review of this product.

Thanks for the pics ZPI. Looking pretty good! Its hard to not get a little paranoid after reading all that has been posted lately... its obvious that you are indeed working on getting these kits out. Hopefully sooner than later, but not at the expense of quality...

Default ZPI turbo kit

I am completely new on this forum and I live in California. I have no prior dealings with Zpi. I do think that we should give Zpi the benefit of the doubt though. Lets see when they get the kits out and then we can judge them. I ordered a stage 0 turbo kit . I will give a full review on the install and how the car runs and so on. I will be a completely unbiased resource for questions. I will take pictures and post results, etc. I will let you guys now as soon as I get my kit and keep you up to date. Let's see what happens.

I still want to see what sciondad is asking for, not the one on ZPI's car. At least all pre-order kits in a pile so people who pre-ordered can see that you guys really have their kits almost ready to ship out as soon as the wrinkle gets ironed out

Sounds good to me. I think a really good idea is for someone to make a post when they get their kit, and give a full review, pictures, etc. Then everyone else who gets the kit aswell should add in their own input about what they like, dislike, etc. This would help anyone who is on the wall deciding.

i was wary of this. 1 virtually unknown company and a pre-order. the same with scionspeed. there is no reason to trust a company like this that hasnt really dealt with a online community as massive as scion life. this is almost making me want to go custom turbo instead. it seems a lot more expensive but i can at least trust it.
