Your buddies car does not speak for the hundreds of Stage 0 kits running around does it? Yeah didn't think so. You think your buddies car is the only car to ever blow up on a turbo. RESEARCH and look back to how many other turbo kits have blown up cars, I assure you the Stage 0 will be the LEAST numbered. A failed Engine can be caused by ANY number of problems. It does not reflect the quality of the turbo kit. If that was the case, I would not have been boosted for nearly 2 years! There have been people installing GReddy kits that blew up less than 24hrs after installing. There have been Dezod kits that blew up someones motor less than 2 weeks after driving.

LOL....that comment FURTHER lets me know you have absolutely NO idea what you are talking about. I guess I must have had a vivid dream of driving up to ZPI in it's Hay days and having Kenny fabricate me a custom exhaust and build and install the turbo kit that's on my ride.

Dude, seriously, stop talking.

TWISTED wires on the injector leads and put ELECTRICAL TAPE ON THEM.

all of their shop cars are ____in slow. zpi is junk if you woulda hung around louisville and went by some other shops and see what they thought about zpi, you prolly woulda left town before you even got near zpi. but congrats for buyin a turbo kit from a recently released drug dealer

Good for you bud. You have pictures, lovely. I have an entire car done by them.

Ok, on that note, I just realized this was going to go nowhere and FAST. No point in trying to argue with someone who has NO idea what he is talking about.


Recently released drug dealer......

Wait.....Wait....

How about you call Turbochargers.com (800) 749-7111, and ask for Kenny Strickler. Let me know what they say.

^^You prevent stalling at idle by running step 1 or 2 colder spark plugs as well.

I don't know if this has been covered yet, but I have a few questions about the zpi kit, the first one is with a stage zero, do you have to upgrade the fuel system..I.E.-injectors or a fuel managment system.... And the second question I have is what is the wastegate PSI set at, I mean how manay pounds of boost is it set to run in the pre-set form without a boost controller

no...zpi went out of business because of some super shady dealings...ripping people off and whatnot, bad shipping, some parts that didn't work...etc.
seriously, consider your self lucky.

Why would you want that kit anyway? Just cause it's cheap?

check this out:

look at the "backyard Brawler" or the "simple" kit, but your best bet is contacting Todd though the "Contact Us" link on the website.

^^No, ZPI is no more. You want a Stage 0 then your going to have to either make your own, or buy a used one. There are some other kits out that are similar in price such as the Basik kit from Turbo Toyota's.

That's not why they went out of business Meaty. They went out of business because the owner and investor had a falling out. The investor bought the whole company, original owner wanted to buy it back, said investor made an outrageous demand, original owner throw up his hands and dropped everything to do with the company (in turn hurting the current projects that were on the table). The investor from that point, knew nothing of what to do, so he did nothing else with the company. It wouldn't surprise me that they are still in a legal dispute over everything.

But your synopsis is a bit off the mark Meaty.
