as most of you already know i bought a ZPI kit stage 0 and installed it last sunday. now i am just having to mani issues and my seals on the turbo just finished it for me. i am gonna start fresh i plan on rebuilding the turbo or might just upgrade to a 20g. wat ells do you guys recomend i do to prep my car for the added power? i think i just jumpped head on to fast. i know my stuff just didnt take my time to prep things. i fail i know lol dam i am gonna miss the boost even tho it only ran good for like a day

 

sucks to hear..

 

Honestly zpi was known for questionable products. Might just need a new turbo... What else went wrong?

 

well i have to say im very happy with my ZPI kit but i know the stories and the stuff that happened...but yeah i think u should just get the turbo rebuilt and see what happens

 

this really sucks i really wish it would have just ran properly lol when i take it off i am gonna take the turbine apart and if i notice things ar bad in there might just get a new turbine instead of rebuilding it. idk at this point i am just mentaly tired about thinkin how to fix the problem i drove the car home last night and it was a smoke storm but thats it gotta start over again hopefully i take off the kit today. took me 3 hours to put it on hopefully the same to take it off

 

Usually they come apart pretty quick. Good luck though in the end

And I'm not knocking zpi, I have one of there valve bodies, so I hope it's good product, just from the rep they have had in the end.

 

i feel u bro thats all kennys fault...n that my also be a good idea i know if u look online u can get a good deal on another 16g idk how much u know about a turbo itselt to actually inspect it but thats gonna be a quick solve and can get u running on the road again until u rebuild the one you currently have

 

i am still thinking about if i wanna boost again. i wanna get an apartment and i am not saving as much as i use to since i got the turbo. i make a decent living but i am dumping alot of cash into the car. and again you cant boost on a budget

 

ok guys so i am already itching to boost again i cant stay away lol. i am looking around for just a turbine and i found a few on ebay for around 300 bucks. wat do you guys think? i know ebay = no good but for 300 bucks i expect something decent wat do you guys think?

dont waste your money on that ebay turbo when the seals in that r goin to last u a week. lol check out www.turbochargers.com david and his shop can help you out in rebuilding if not buying a new 16g.

 

x 2 ^

 

Stay way from the ebay turbo they wont last long. Take the 300 dollars and replace the seals on your 16g.

 

ima take ya advise gonna order me some new seals this comming week hopefully i will be back on the good ol boost road soon

 

^ Good to hear. Hopefully you won't run into anymore problems.

 

the rebuild kits arnt expensive...i was reading on a dsm site that the 16g turbo parts were all balanced individualy so you wouldnt have to rebalance the turbo after the rebuild.

 

Glad you decided to stick with boost.

 

lol because we all know if your tC isnt boosted you REALLY are pushing a girls car lol

 

^harsh!
i dont think i could ever truely enjoy my tc with out boost again...

 

lol its a totally different car and blast to drive.
