ZPI's kit seems more promising. I'll bet my dough on it to come out in the next month.

i heard that the scionspeed turbos are not coming out, due to lack of money. ZPI supplies them with parts for thier turbo....what i heard
So i guess buy from ZPI

Call them and ask. I think they said their stage 0 will ship by the end of the month, but the stage 1 may be delayed shortly for the 91 octane peeps...

Our kits are on extreme backorder.

That statement is completely FALSE.

WOW, stay off the forums for a while and the rumors just start pumping, lol.

We do not have a lack of money and ZPI does not supply us with anything!

We actually have 99% of all our components for our kits, we are held up by one part which is on backorder. I have contacted all of our preorder customers, and they are fully aware of the situation.

Most people opted to hold out, due to the very high quality of our kits, and also for the components that come standard with our kits. The components that come with our kits are considered upgrades on other kits on the market. We are also, I believe, the only people who have actually shown pics, dyno figures, and videos, of our kits in action. We also have the most testing experience when it comes to these engines.

At 12.0 sec to the 1/4, our company also has the Quickest Tc in the world, not to mention the first tC in the 12's.

Finally we are the only people in the world putting out over 420hp to the wheels out of a bone stock tC engine! Thats over 480 Flywheel HP!!!!

When we do Testing, WE DO TESTING!
