CAN SOMEONE FROM ZPI ANSWER THIS?!?!?!?!?

This thread isn't about product releasing dates. Maybe you should create one on their ZPI forum to get a quicker answer.

P.S. Travis you just made Connor's day by posting about him on the internet. We're having to turn him sideways to get him out the door tonight.
He's also my #1 ____ talker. If I ever get a really fast car, I'm taking him out street racing...

We had some technical difficulties with the xB, but it's running like a beast right now.. Kenny and I got pulled over tonight in it..

Officer walks up...
LEO: "Sir, do you know why I stopped you?"
Kenny: "Because I was driving like a moron?"
LEO:


He actually let us go.. That car rips, It might be faster than the miata.. We took some videos, but the firewire card is acting weird. Maybe tomorrow!

I was going to mess with it tonight, but I was out buying a xA.

My wife called me from the dealer and said she was buying a auto xA... I had to rush out there and save her from herself... 5spd for the win! Now it needs some springs and wheels.. like whoa!

Yeah, me too. As soon as we get a clutch in there, we'll be hitting the dyno. Should put down some good numbers.

Alot of people up here in detorit are looking forward to its release. I've been posting alot of info on it on thier site. Ton's of xA's up here as well. Do you think the turbo kit would fit in the xA? It's the same engine right?

It will most likely fit except for fmic piping. I was able to talk to a friend in letting him do a turbo kit on his xA and at the same time it will give ZPI a chance to mock up the xA piping.

On my kit the piping was originally designed for the xA. I ditched my washer fluid resevoir and re route the piping with one less piece of piping. Less pipe=Less pressure drop=TSI are complete morons and maybe I should be doing their intercooler pipe routing for them
