Ok....lol..what hell did you do? People's license don't go invalid for no reason.

-failed address change
-speeding tickets
-failure to appear

etc...


Knowing me, I probably would have someone drive me and the car to the track, and then I race and they drive me home...

Umm...So what turbo comes on the Evo 8 and Evo 9? Does it say Evo 9 on it? Not quite sure on that one. Like I said, my turbo out lasted some of other so called "uber" turbo setups on the tC, I'm proud of it.

Oh yeah, you are right. I think most Drag strips do. Forgot about that. Beech Bend raceway here, checks it too, I just remembered.

I highly doubt anyone would go through the trouble to order Evo III housings to cover Chinese Knock off internals. That makes no sense.

Buy knock off internals, but lest buy standard housings so they won't know and we can save cost.......Not likely bro.


But whatever, turbo served me well.

actually that sounds like it makes perfect sense to someone like k strickler.

anyways the point that im trying to make is that zpi used less than "top shelf" parts. and to but a zpi kit now would mean that it would have to be used, and that much closer to breaking anyway.

Being friends with him....he has more integrity than that.

On a second note, a used turbo kit is probably one of the better bangs for the buck now. Probably cheaper to replace little stuff than buying a new kit for X amount of money. Unless you are like me, and don't like to have hand-me downs.

from my understanding, MHI is a different variant and offers a 16G of their own.

because the 16g series that MHI released is a fad turbo that is dying fast.
