Default Billy We blew your stuff up....Sorry

just kidding as most of you knwo our xB kits have been stuck in development with a oiling issue. We had a bad batch of turbos and now we have been what appeared to be an oiling issue. We are proud to annouce this was not an issue at all and nothing more than an oversight by us. We have solved this problem and the kit is working beautifully and just as designed.

Here is a little teaser video for you!!! enjoy. The kits are in stock we will put some miles on this kit and the one on our xB and we will have these for sale with same day shipping very soon.

All in due time, and we may setup a N/A xA (5spd) vs the Turbo xB (auto) street race to give some real world representation.

Utohhhh... Street race...

On a side note, I havent even got my car back yet but have already been challenged to a race by an all motor auto xB, hp: 128whp tq: 138wtq..He said he would rape me if we raced, didn't you Tony.. ... May have to take a trip to NOPI to see if that would be true or not.

The box and the turbo kit look really nice in person. I have been at the shops recently and got a chance to look it over. I really like the way the kit looks and how you don't realize it is turbo until you look really hard. Too bad they were working some bugs out because I would have loved to see it run in person.

Is it me or is that the turbo I see almost touching the floor in the video ?
Sounds great. How is the Auto Transmission holding up.

Mr.Wallabie
That is the wastgate you see hanging down, the turbo is nicely tucked up into where the exhaust is, like it was meant to be there or somthing. As for the transmission, well I will be beating on it pretty hard to see what it can take and let you know.

Im not sure what makes the other turbo kits "not real" or this one real. All give FI to the 1.5L. This is the only remote turbo mounted kit however. Its also the kit that offers the largest turbo. Lets try to put some thought into comments we make.

As for the dump tube, all they need to do is trim it a little. The wastegates are connected to the manifold so hitting anything solid like a speed bump etc, will mean BIG trouble. Bottoming out will break the wastgate, tubing, mounting point of the wg and manifold, etc. If its just the tube, then they can just shorten it. I was curious though, maybe ZPI can answer my question. Why use an external wg for only 7.5 psi of boost? The 16g internal wastegate is more than able to maintain these boost levels.

Same reason we use an external on the tC. You can only clock the compressor cover so much with the WG actuator on there.

The wastegate dump tube is long and bulbous and just needs to be fixed.
