Sorry to hear guys. Apparently there is more than meets they eye.

Let me know if I can be of any assistance.

Our last kit order was turned around in less than 14 days. Ordered 5/29/06 shipped by 6/12/06.

I think maybe they forget the little guy is just as important as the big guy. either way they dont live up to the reputation they carry.

I can help any of you screwed over on pulleys as well. I have very fast shipping on NST pulleys. Also I second Dezod on turbo kits. Heard good things about them! Were are all the ZPI banner waivers when people are getting hosed and screwed over consistantly??? But every post were people want to buy from another company, the banner waivers are all over people like stink on crap trying to get them to buy zpi. What a crock.

When it comes to zpi... so far... well you just cannot polish a turd no matter how many fanboys they have claiming them to be the best at everything.

I second that. Only pulleys you will find on my engine and only pulley company that I wanted to carry. Just cannot beat true customer service they offer.

Well, I have been a ZPI supporter since they said they were developing a turbo for the tC. In the beginning, they were at the forefront of tC performance and they did have terriffic customer service. You have to admit, they did a lot for the Scion community in the beginning. I was actually looking at getting a stage 0 for a while, then decided on a stage 1 and was getting money saved up. However, after these past few weeks of threads popping up and people not getting their kits, I have become wary of ZPI. I do prefer the 16g over the T3/T4, but if you never get the 16g that you ordered, the Dezod doesn't sound so bad. Over the next few weeks, I will be looking very hard at the turbo kits offered for the tC as well as the companies selling them. I really hope ZPI can remedy their problems and get back into good business prectices, but it will take a lot to repair their tarnished reputation. Good luck to all those waiting for their paid for ZPI products.

i hope all of you get ur money, or parts, watever makes u happy again. i know personally i would just want my money back, waiting that long is b/s, i was a supporter, but thatz becuse i really never ventured into any of the tc forums. i supported them becuse they are developing a decent turbo for my little xA, but it seems that i will have to let the dream slip by of havin a good turbo for my car, and ill just have to do something else. why cant another company make a kick ___ turbo for my car, dezod? anywayz good luck to everyone, hope you get ur stuff

another common thread of ZPI **** business practice. It seems like ZPI are selling products that they do not have.

How the F does ZPI give away a free turbo kit when they can't even ship out a turbo kit to a paid customer?????

This company is starting to follow the same foot steps as Scionspeed.
