Default Thinking of buying this turbo

http://www.zeropointindustries.net/s...roducts_id=313

The ZPI A/T Turbo kit.
Just to make sure...

It comes with everything is states there...
It should also come with an I/C correct?
Also any tune-up shop will install this correct?
Also how much do you all think it will cost to get it installed.

THIS DOESNT HAVE A CATLESS DOWNPIPE RITE?
If it does i might rethink because i need to pass inspections.

Edit: Also you can always upgrade the stage turbo?
Anything else i should buy so i dont ruin the engine.

You should look up zpi stage0 because there are 1001 threads on it already.

you can start w/ that setup and then get it tuned in the future w/ a fmic ...you can call that your upgrade for next year after your tired w/ this setup.

there is no cat in the downpipe so you will fail emmisions and you will have a permanent check engine light

it does not come with an intercooler

it does not come with a bov (its an option when you call, it needs to be welded in) so when you snap the throttle shut all that boost gets slammed back into the turbo causing compressor surge which is very damaging to the turbo.

It does not come with an oil pan, only fittings that you need to weld in to your stock pan.

it does not come with guages which are needed. Boost and AFR. afr guage is 300$ and needs to be welded in(zpi will do it if you buy it with the kit)

you need colder spark plugs.

strongly recomend a valve body upgrade so you dont grenade your transmission $399 plus shipping and instalation. You have to send yours to them first.

Not everyone will install it. Figure 6-8 hour install time at 75$ an hour.
