2 things need to happen and you guys would get my money for a stage II, b/c everytime I see data/pics on your kits it just makes me reconsider my options all over again.

1. the TRD S/C does not come out by sept.17th.
2. the intercooler pipes dont stick out the inlets in the front bumper.
(not b/c of aesthetics, but because I have modded IS300 fogs into those locations and they run about 8-9" deep)

3. you need to actually ship the kits laready, and have customers post reviews on here.....who else is losing hope and considering dezod?

you're going to keep fog lights over a turbo kit? ..............

it makes me cry on the inside.... lol ok maybe not

seriously though.. the numbers that zpi has shown look great. the piping looks great.. the people that actually have the kits love them..

the problem is: they're too popular LOL. they're been flooded with work which slow production.

I like ZPI's concept of small turbos making big power. They produce a good kit, and are showing good numbers. A simple search could have answered so many qustioins.

I agree. The EVO III 16g is a great turbo for our sized engines and the boost levels that are streetable.

Heh, just because other kits like dezod and scionspeed appear to not have this clearance issue is why I mentioned it.
