Default ZPI turbo

Those of you guys who bought a ZPI turbo, could you post the status of your car. (i.e. how is your car running, how many miles have you had the turbo on the car, any problems after installing the turbo, etc.) thanks.

Well, it's running strong. We have about 300 miles so far on the turbo and installation is pretty straight forward. Kenny and the ZPI team will walk you thru and be available for any questions you may have.

the reason i ask is because this car is my only car and my daily driver so if i were to get a FI than I want it to be really really reliable and so I just want to see people's experiences with them.

Very understandable. It's really a basic kit and well done. The EVO III turbo is a great little turbo and proven on other cars and should be no exception on the TC. There are others that have had theirs on by thousands of miles and heard no complaints yet.

Just do good maintenance, check connections often and go easy on your car. But, then again, I would tell you to do all the above on your car anyway.

Next Monday I'm flying back to KY to pick up my car, then I'll drive her 1024 miles straight through to get home. I'll let you know if there are any issues with that.
