$6k later, tC still slow
I'm just _____ing. Almost one year since buying a turbo kit for my new car - was going to be the hottest (and only) tC in the area. Would've been great to sponsor, shops in Minneapolis with any foresight! (As a Scikotic and regular MN Sport Compact member, lots of exposure to your parts!)
Now we're at 36k miles, my racing clutch is wearing out because there isn't the power behind it, and I'm still $6000 poorer than when I ordered a turbo kit and everything else a year ago.
So much for my ambitious start. Thanks tC Performance Shops On The Internet. You guys rock.
At least it's pretty.

Well, first was ScionSpeed. And of course that didn't work out. Now ZPI is just..... whatever. I don't think that's coming either. I guess maybe it's time to start looking around again?
Sorry to hear about that man, but may i make a suggestion.

Yo Taek, I bet you thought you knew the right people!
I'm glad you got outta there though. I still wouldn't mind throwing a brick at his junk. 
That other turbo kit looks great! Wow. Shiny! Looks like that's about... $5000 right there! VERY nice!

Sorry to hear Draven! I know you got screwed by the first kit, that really sucks. If it makes you feel any better I am working on some more asthetic mods in the electronics dept... probably no help though since you are looking for a turbo
But hey, my new microcontroller programmer and some parts are on the way, so I may be looking for someone else to drive around with some mods in the near future.. what a better place to test electronics for cold weather than the twin cities! I'll keep ya up to date.. in the meantime, if you install a turbo let me see that thing!

^^ I will surely keep you up to date. When I come up with something we can meet up for a beer or something and I will show it off to you.
I guess a bad year to mention cold weather testing here though huh? What a weak winter we are having! It started ok ... then downhill from there!
Oh well, there is still a few months for winter to show up I guess

wow that does bite.. i thought that scionspeed was a raw deal and i thought zpi was gonna look out for ya but i guess that didnt happen either
on a lighter note a scionspeed tc had a little nos problem at the exposed show and melted his battery and fuse box also burnt up the hood and driver fender (i thought it was lighter)
