you need to get a stage 2 clutch right? and u got 180whp? bone stock just a turbo and intercooler? that double the stock 90whp u must have felt a hell of a difference.

ZPI has a claimed 180 hp dyno run on a turbo charged xB. The only resemblance between that car and that turbo kit and what ZPI sells is that it comes from the same shop and is built for the same car. What you see in the video is a completely different turbo set up than what they sell.

Do I think ZPI is capable or making 180 whp on the turbo setup they actually sell? Maybe. Only with the higher boost (manual transmission cars) spring. Even then, I'm not buying it until I see independent dynos. Not to knock Fusion, Proshop or ZPI.

I've ridden in Rollhard's Greddy boosted xB that put down 140 whp. The difference between it and a stock xB was night and day. Could I say just by the "butt dyno" that it was only putting down 140 whp? No. It felt faster.

I can't wait until this issue is finally settled by someone doing an independent dyno run. And it shouldn't be long. Once these kits start shipping people SHOULD be tuning and dynoing their cars all over the country.

The fact that ZPI still has the link to that dyno run on the page for their turbo kit is misleading at best. The wrong person sees that video, orders the kit and then finds out the truth could mean trouble for ZPI. It would be wise for them to only have it in the videos section, and make sure it is labeled as the turbo kit prototype.

have you not been following any of the other zpi threads? im not meaning to be rude but the same questions over and over and over again get old....search button works wonders.

they will have them shipped when they are finished re-welding the pipes to bring ALL of the kits up 3-4 inches. they have been welding around the clock 24/7 to get ALL of the xB kits done. when they are ALL finished, boxed, and every part is there and ready, they will ship them ALL together. their kit is out for perfection, they want things done right the first time, i dont care how long it takes them to get it to me, because i know the longer it takes, the more perfect it will be.
