Also, how is not having an intercoler affect the kit, car, heat in any way? thanks

WOW, you'll make three turbo tC's in St. Lucie (that I know of). Who said it sucked here?

Strange, i know of noone else running any kits. Are they on scionlife?

kenny... i'm hurt that you don't remember me lol... im the guy with the 9.5 psi pulley that had the bearing failure, and you guys tried to find your cap for me and it like disappeared (thanks for looking though I appreciate the effort). Also talked to you on the phone a couple times about possible causes, however I understand that you talk to quite a few people on the phone everyday so I'm not really hurt im just jokin with you. This was back in like January I believe... wound up gettin hosed on the warranty all that good stuff

check out "possible the coolest pic on SL" in the forced induction tc forum... you can see my purty pics lol... no but seriously this winter... you might get my life savings

You guys have always been great to me, heh heh thats why i've ordered pretty much everything for my car from you guys

I'm one and zevelkren is the other (both on scionlife) and you make three. I have my GReddy kit waiting to be installed and she should have her ZPI stage 1 in a few days. When you get your's post up in the southeast section and we'll all go out to moroso. You know Harrison? He can come too even though he's not boosted.

we advetise 300wheel but you will need a full exhaust to get this. The autos it is hard to say. Dyno read so much different to advertise an actual horsepower is almost impossible.

Autos eat up a lot of power, petey car is still on low boost so his number are not real accurate.

on a personal note its really really nice to have ZPI back on the forums they had a lot of info to share... and anyone who had a beef about their kit has magically disappeared, musta been a good product, delivered ready to go as advertised unlike some companies *coughgreddycough*

Not to pick, but as long as you keep a good sensor in the pick-up, there is nothing wrong with tuning with a sniffer after a cat. I agree there is a SLIGHT difference but I've done comparo's and seen 0.1 difference. As long as you are not trying to tune on the ragged edge you can get a plently safe tune with a A/F sniffer in the back. People are doing it all over the country and have been for years and years.

On a side note. congrats on getting caught up and having kits in stock.
