The sad part is that ZPI stage 0 tC kits have been on back order since the beginning of the year and they still advertize on ebay and on their website a 2-week ship date on the turbo kit... I remember when I paid for my Stage 0 kit in March I was so excited! I waited for 2 weeks and when I did not get an e-mail with a tracking number I called ZPI, then e-mailed back and forth a couple of times. Now we are in June and still no kit. Rumor was that kits would start to ship at the beginning of June... Now I'm not sure if that ever happened.

This is exactly why I would never spend that much money at ZPI.
Ive spent $7k worth of stuff from ZPI or more with no problems

The thing with the turbos is that they were redoing the downpipes, getting new welders to weld the manifolds, and so on . Plus Kenny is in the Florida Keys right now at a wedding till the 21st. So ZPI is technically closed and orders will be slowly processed and he was working on a batch of orders before he left i heard but didnt want to ship out incomplete kits.

This has nothing to do with him being in the Keys. They're always extremely slow.

Dude, I feel sorry for you. This was me in March all pumped up about my turbo that would ship in two weeks...

Now I'm not sure what my options are.

Believe me, I'm keeping count too..

I wanted some proof just incase I have to take legal action.

I asked for a refund and they didn't even respond to that e-mail.

i knew they were on back order i talked to them. ive already been wait three weeks. they told me up front they were on back order. there kit is worth the wait i feel. its a good company that makes great products, the wait is just one downside. life goes on, and when i get the turbo, it will have been worth the wait. im sorry to hear that everyone is so displeased. i know the guys are probably working very hard to meet there orders.

I ordered and paid for a ZPI tC Stage 0 in March 2006. I'm still waiting for a tracking number and/or comfirmation that it has shipped.

Wow, there are three things that seriously ____ me off in life- taxes in massachusetts, people that go 55 in the passing lane, and not getting a tracking number/explination as to why a product hasn't shipped- from people I buy stuff from.......

ok, well......I'm going to try and stay optimistic.

Does anyone who has successfully received their stage 0 have any feedback that they'd like to share?
