Default Attention ALL ZPI-turbo pre-orders

You all are going to hate us………We have found a flaw in the way we are modifying the PCV system on the car. We need to run another vacuum source into the air intake tube. We do not see this as a big deal as it has been caught now. An out of state car started to get a little pressure into his crankcase and we quickly diagnosis the problem.

What does this mean to you?

Hopefully, nothing we just need to add a barbed fitting to every intake pipe on every kit. We should have the fittings by the end of the week and get started. As long as we do not have a problem getting fittings then we see to reason as to why this will delay the shipping of the kits. We just wanted to keep you all posted as always. The only delay that may occur is that we will need to get all of the pipes re coated. We have a call into the coated so hopefully this will not be a big deal either.

All the TC-t that have been shipped to us for installation this is not a problem as we can fix it in the install phase and you will see no delay.

Thanks as always for the support, as we know this seems petty but we want to keep our customers posted 100% of the way.

The ZPI TC-t t-shirts will be ready Wednesday and we will ship them out the same day so that you all can be wearing them this weekend.

Scion dad please do not blow us up……..we will fix this quickly.

We have two full production kits going on this weekend these will be exactly as shipped. We will post as many pics as you all want. By the time anyone can steal or attempt to duplicate we will already have our kits shipping and it just won't matter.

We know you have been patient

ZPI: At least you spotted the problem during the development and testing phase, and are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible. I know that you and your team have been working day and night to get these Turbo Kits into full-production. I respect the belief that if your going to do something, that you must do it right... and I have an instinctive feeling that your team will get it done right. It shows professionalism to come on here and provide information of your recent setback, but we are glad that you did provide an update.
Now get er' done! Thanks...

I'd just like to say that overall, I've been very impressed with your professionalism and honesty to the community. It's stuff like that which generates sales, and I assure you that it has not gone unnoticed. I'm pretty sure that I speak for alot of us when I say that although many do not posess the funds to purchase a kit from you right now, you're the direction we'll look in if and when we do. Bravo.

This post is the reason I chose to do buisness with ZPI. They are up front and honest all the way through. Rather then sending these kits out so they can get their money, they are making sure every one of them are right, before hand. Good lookin out ZPI, please do what you need to do to make our kit the best.

Thanks,
David

i don't mind waiting a little bit longer. it'll be worth the wait to get a kit that runs perfect then having one that might cause potential problems in the future. this also gives me some time to save up to get a turbo timer, guages, as well brake upgrades.

Greetings ZPI, if it is not too late I want the Blitz BOV with filter cause it will be quiet Is there an option to make this into a dirverter valve setup?

I don’t won’t no stinking loud setup as it ruins my Lawrence Welk CD.



Also I would like to buy a new 02 from you. Will a wideband work for the front? i.e. run the OEM brain as well as let me tap off for a a/F gauge.

please get back to me or I gotta call you and bug ya.

BOV all depends on you. The HKS is the highest pitch out of the bunch, the greddy and the dlitz are fairly close I would say the blitz is louder. Rember when changing the BOV you must also change the flange which is a pain in the ___ on pretty coated paint!!!!!!


Changing a flange will not delay the kits, we want these kits gone we are certain that once they get out the sales should increase greatly and well hey that is what we are here for.

Oh and stay tuned to www.Thescionstore.com it is about to be a great website..................

how about the 02 question, can we buy a wide band from you that will work with the OEM ECU as well as an A/F gauge or do I need to buy two and weld in my own bung? if I want a wide band.
