Wow that is a good deal! Good thing ZPI offers the price protection plan ;)

That is a actually a nice price and the install is not really beyond the skill of the backyard mechanic -but gauges are a must have for any bolt-on turbo kit.

The stage 0 never came with a HKS. It used to come with a TiAL BOV, but we removed that from the kit, and lowered the price $180.

Oil pans are an issue of supply. We try to include the oil pans in the kits when we can get oil pans from Toyota, sometimes this can delay an otherwise complete kit for a week or more, so we've opted to remove that description for the time being.

Now, If i could convince people to send me their old pans when they get a tapped one, then this problem would go away. Additionally, if someone wants to send me their oil pan and have us weld it, we will do this for free, you just pay shipping.

As for the wastegate, The turbo concepts wastegate offers the exact same performance as the TiAL. I run one on my car, and have had no issues with boost control. We can supply TiAL wastegates for an additional charge, as some people have opted to do that.

Well back on topic here I installed my turbo yesterday and I gotta say, I love this kit. So far no stalling issues whatsoever. No CEL so far. And the boost is plenty fun.
Really the only downside rt now is that the spipe and downpipe bolt holes don't really line up so I can fit a bolt through but I'm taking care of that with a smaller bolt.

So guys if you're lookin' into a good kit to make some extra power, I definitely recommend the Stage 0

It's a bout a day project if you have all the tools and all the parts you need. It took me a solid weekend -but that was because of some difficulty with the oil return line.
