...I was kinda shocked with your first response...was waiting on that second response! Thanks for not makeing me loose my faith in you, rhythm!

in any event, it doesn't matter. ZPI is dead and there is no reason to defend the company anymore. You can defend their products as much as we want as they are still in circulation as used kits, but the COMPANY is dead.

oh, and that new kit he put out with that new company looks super clean, don't it?

You know me....I like to keep it as accurate as possible . People take things way out of context when they read them over the internet...

The "new kit" isn't really a "new kit" to my knowledge though. I thought they were for the most part "one-off" kits (nonetheless bad ___ though, running the Turbonetics GTK turbines). I think that's my next turbo. One capable of pumping 550-600whp.

the yellow circle on the right is one you could use...really good for yoru BOV.

The yellow circle on the left is where we all tapped our vacblocks into, so you can use that for WG and Boost Gauge.

Well, in that top pic, the line on the bottom left is going to my WG...the middle to my Boost Gauge and the bottom right going to my BOV.

In the following pic, the arrow is showing the line coming off the right that goes into that yellow circle.



The left side of my vac block is going to the other end of the left yellow circle in the first pic:

Basically, the vac block is teed into the break booster line (left circle in first pic, on the firewall with the hard line) and acts as 3 Tees for all your vac line needs.

well from what I have heard from all my friedns runging sr20 powered 240's, they siad you need differnt vacume ref points because the of what the parts are doing, the waste gate is only used when your at you correct bar psi, and the bov is only used when the throttle is closed

My vote is for 0psi.
It's really not a good idea to run a turbo kit with stock ECU, stock injectors and no IC.
Alot of the ZPI Stage 0 Guys ened up getting all those items eventually...
