Was sent these pics.... local area shop is doing this setup... No EMU or Piggy

 

ZPI Stage 0 has some competition

Anymore deets on the kit?

 

It's from a shop that seems to do a lot of ebay business...see their manifolds and piping kit for the tC a lot there...

Don't know what they'd charge for all the parts, but this kit was super-cheap

Don't know about not running an Emanage or anything though... not diggin' that.

 

the shop owner ( not sure ) log on here a few months ago, asked a couple of questions then never came back.

 

looks like something someone monster garaged, but if it works.......that is all that matters.

 

yeah, it does looked Monster garaged.

 

not to put it down but looks lower quality then the stage 0 just opinion though

 

even tho i dont have it (yet? maybe) the stage 0 isnt low quality. for the most part everyone here that has one is happy with it.

 

is it me or the s-pipe look realllly low.

 

i agree with you on that one.... looks dangerously low

 

with my driving skills, i could turn that baby into a open downpipe in days!

 

lol

 

Yo dave, I think he was paying the Stage 0 a compliment. He was saying this kit looks low quality compared to a ZPI Stage 0, I don't think he was intending to say the Stage 0 was low quality. At least that's the way I read it.

 

Well, I hope it goes 'cause it's not show!

gotcha...

 

Where do I get one?!?

 

Certainly not very pretty.

Turbo looks a bit large, I wonder how much lag it may have?
Speculation of course since I do know what it is, maybe i will go look

Typical log manifold with an external wastegate, why oh why do so many do that?

Welds look great for the most part, just one(could be the picture) does not look as good as the others.

Downpipe is a bit of an eyesore, a tighter bend would of looked better.

S pipe looks like a choped and added onto stock pipe, if so, rather narrow inside it but that could be the pics as well.

Overall, without seeing it in person, riding in or driving the car, seeing dyno charts, fuel curves, etc, hard to give a proper assesment.

Cosmetically, not to great but they may put function far above form and it could be a great kit overall.

Best advice, do as much research as possible before you jump in;)

i guess one thing i like about this is it comes with longer studs for your manifold. i maybe wrong but looking at it, i know it aint that long.

 

I think the flange is only 1/4 inch thick .

 

The kit looks ok but it is hard to trust small shops when it comes to turbo kits. You dont want to ge stuck with something that doesnt run right.
