As mentioned a LONG time ago, it was his intentions to bring over the company with him to turbochargers.com. HOWEVER, that is/was no longer the case. Just because he wore a shirt though, you are confused. Hope your confusion is clear now.
I.E....I work on cars in my work shirt. The shirts I use to get dirty in happen to say AEM on it. If I quit and start working for another company, my shirts I get dirty in still say AEM on them until I get new ones to get dirty in.
Just merely conveying that just because you saw me working in the AEM shirt means squat about the current legal/financial/and intentions I would have at the new company.
This is not a Put 2-And-2 together situation here. There are a lot of things going on that are not discussed in a public forum.

You have also yet to answer as to why anything ZPI can not be bought from turbochargers.com web site all of a sudden, yet another web site still carries them.

Like someone else said, the parts were probably still in stock on the other website. If so then they would still be able to sell the kits with no problem. TC.com probably just had the kits dropped shipped from ZPI.
Either way what's the big deal if they took it off the website or not? Anyone knowing what is going on and with half a brain wouldn't buy it.

I know travis, they are saints when it comes to the Scion world...everyone should bow down to them cause of their greatness...they have an outstanding reputation of pleasing there customers right? We should just forget any of the crap they pulled because they bring us the "fastest scions" in the world and are the "leaders of innovation in the scion community". You know what kind of importance that brings to the table...absolutely zero importance factor. Face it, they did some sheisty **** in the past with there shipping lies, and installing used parts on people's cars, shipping out half turbo kits just to buy themselves time by saying the rest of the stuff mysteriously was not packed in the box...the list goes on, shall we continue. Yo, just give it up already man, you can only stick up for someone for soo long before you start making yourself look bad for supporting the unethical business practices. You had a good experience with ZPI, theres a reason for it, Kenny isnt stupid he knew if he took care of you that you would come on Scionlife and sing like a lil birdy about how great of a person Kenny and the ZPI crew is...you were nothing more than free marketing to them, and you lived up to their expectations 100%...dont be a naive sucker and say but Kenny is my friend and he took me out to dinner and blah blah blah...business is business, and theres one thing kenny knows how to do and thats generate business

No, didn't claim anyone was a Saint, didn't claim that anyone didn't make the wrong business decision at times, didn't claim that anyone was perfect. But what you are saying I find rather stretching of the truth. Everything is blown to exponential proportions over the internet, and Multiply that by 2 for SL. What evidence are you basing your opinions on? What Brad said? Come on dude, he motives are questionable at best. Coming from a guy who said he designed the ZPI turbo kit BEFORE he even was employed by them...I'm not going to sit here and argue with you, but you have no hard evidence to make any claim you are stating.

Are you serious bro.... Show me where that happened. INFACT every time I read someone talking about having half the turbo kit, it was because of their lack of knowledge that some parts are "Drop Shipped". Don't even pretend that ZPI was the only turbo kit company to have a customer receive part of their kit, and get other pieces to it the next week....

So, now you are trying to insult my intelligence by telling me I can't tell the difference between being a "tool" and having a "friendship"....
