My stage 1 is being installed however I'm running into problems with the intercooler piping. Nothing seems to be fitting properly.

They have one; and I forgot to get it from Keisha before attemping the install. Or at least she said she had one.

From what I noticed and what it looks like they have two different set ups for the intercooler piping. One way; part of the piping goes above the intercooler and the other goes behind the radiator. Since none of my piping really fits in place I think maybe I got a little bit of both set ups. That or the pipes are just completely fxcked up. Of course I'm now ____ed because I was hoping to have this all installed this weekend and it's not helping any that my bf is picking apart everything that's wrong with the kit. -.- Such as life I suppose.

I'm at Toyota right now so when I get home I'll see if I can catch you on aim; Kaeon too.

Pics would be about the most beneficial thing you can do.

Don't mind your b/f. Because once you get it intalled, you can mop up the jucies from his salavating mouth, cause you will be rippin up some tires.

Alright here's my picture of it assembled (not on the car I had to have everything taken off); looks like I do have the right piping.



The problem I'm running into is on the left of the intercooler those pipes are not fitting up properly. One they are a little too long and two it also seems like they were not bent enough. My other problem I'm missing two damn couplers. Heh; I mailed ZPI so I'm hoping Tuesday they will send them out.

I'm going to have someone fix the piping for me; also I'm going to have him weld a bead beam on all the pipes since they didn't come with it except for the air intake pipe; which is odd.

Hopefully I won't run into anymore problems with fitment.

They fit, I installed one yesteday. It looks like you're missing a 2.5" straight coupler at the throttle body.


When you say left, are you talking driver side or passenger side. The pax side pipes can be a little annoying, and the one 2" pipe only goes on one way.

If you're having problems with the 2.5 pipes on the driver side, you may need to reverse your radiator hose.

It does fit, I can assure you that.

Crap! I guess I won't be the first in St. Lucie to have an installed turbo. Damn shipping and backorder delays.

Wait... are you in FP or PSL? Maybe I can be the first in PSL.

When I said left; I meant left of the photo.
No problems with the 2.5 inch piping really; I can work around everything. It's jsut the 2 inch piping that's a pain and doesn't seem to want to fit right. I'm hoping ZPI will over night the coupler so I can have it for next weekend. =)
