I have been a long time reader of the forum thought I would finally post. I am a 65 year old retired old man and really do not want to get into all this bickering. Please keep that out of my stuff.

I am a local to ZPI and basically have everypart they offer on my Scion. I once was a factory backed Aprilla Motorbike racer and thought I would guy buy a little car to have fun with. I looked at the EVO and some others but Kenny talked me into the tC said I would be very happy in the end. That was last summer. I am very happy this summer, the car runs great and I love it. I know a lot of you are soon to be getting your kits so I will share some pics of mine.

I just want to add that my expirence with these guys has been nothing short of great they really are a top notch group of guys. Anyone that knows them can vouch for this as I am sure david will. I have go to meet him a couple times around the shop.

Parts on my car
ZPI Stage 1 turbo kit (10psi)
ZPI catback
ZPI S-pipe
ZPI Stage 1 head package

Thanks for posting Joe...

You have the same engine and exhaust setup that I am interested in. Please keep in touch and let me know how everything works out for you.

Thanks

 

Sorry guys like I said I am old and not very good with computers. I just know how to go around and read info. This is my first new thread.

Here are the pics kenny got setup for me.

 

I want one of those sooooooooo bad ahhhhh, its killing me, that intercooler looks bad a$$

 

Tell me you've had that thing of beauty to a dyno and the track

 

Sweet now where's mine ZPI

 

*Passes out from the excitement*

 

You can drive my car for a lil while if you got the turbo itch..ill just take the bike

 

Not funny VITO

 

what is it with old people and putting things on thier antenna? car looks good, have to hate how the damn Tial WGs like to change colors.

was the AEM intake already there before turbo kit, or is it now being used as the intake pipe?

 

looks great.

 

If they've been waiting all this time on the pipes to be bent, then why are they using couplers allover the intake pipe? The purpose of being custom bent is to have one solid mandrel piece, instead of just buying the bends, cutting them up, and using couplers.

Also, I've noticed every turbo and wastegate is placed slightly differently on every kit I've seen. Are you custom fabbing every kit, because with the different placement's there would be no way to make a jig to mass produce these.

 

I'm really hopin this is "before" they got the pipes back.

 

Damn that's off the chain. So far, ZPI has the most # of Scions with their kits on them than any other manufacturer right now, that I've seen. Much credit to you guys.

 

holy mother of god

 

Thank You Colin for continually bringing negativity to our threads.

These kits are different as we continue to change things making them better. This kit was built prior to us getting the turbo inlet pipe in, that is why there is a two piece MAF pipe. Truth being told is that MAF pipe is off of a Celica GTS AEM cold air intake cut in halve.

As far as us mounting the wastegate in different places this is true also. We continually test our product and have a final design which is what we mass produced. It varies from the one you see here. We pre built the manifold and this way relocating or changing the turbo or wastegate flange is as simple as drilling a whole and laying down a weld.

We now have the pipes and we will eventually replace this once we get caught up on orders. The car runs good and the customer is happy so we are okay with it. The kit looks good and performs at well over 300whp.

Thanks
