I am trying to decide on what track to take my car to. The reason why is because one isnt that good but is open on fridays my day off, the other is open on sat. when i work. So I will let everyone know when i do, until then I will give kill stories so you can judge how fast it is.

Thanks,
David

Will a stage0 or stage1 zip kitted tC sound like a normal street car? Or will it sound like that one in the video where it ran 12's...? Also, what octane gas is required? 91 octane?

My ZPI kit sounds stock until you get into boost, then it just sounds dirty. "Loud" When I say stock i mean very very quit. I have no exhaust on it yet so I have been suprising a few people that dont notice my FMIC.

I'm not trying in any way to talk smack! But it looks to me like the air inlet pipe is putting a lot of pressure on the upper radiator hose. Is that the piece that ZPI used just to get you going for now?

The stock production kit sounds as if the car has nothing. You get a little turbo noise (sucking sound) and that is it. When the dump tube goes back into the exhaust the car makes no more noise than stock with an intake.

Gotta get that manifold powdercoated/ceramic coated for sure. Especially if your in a salty/crappy state. I have a cast iron manifold on my IS300, and would you know it, fn thing rusted, it couldn't expand and friggin cracked. Had to get it repaired and ceramic coated. mother fer'

Nice kit!

I wish my buyer wouldn't have backed out on my car, otherwise I'd have this kit. HOpefully you have some more specialson this kit.
