Was checking out some of the other boards and came across this video of the ZPI turbo stage kits...

Scion Turbo Stage 1 Video

Here's their dyno for the stage 0 turbo...

Dyno Sheet Stage 0

I see the pre order pricing is $2400. for the Stage 0 kit...230HP

What do you guys think...looks promising.

Lo Bux...ideas/thoughts..???

I read a lot about over at scionlife. The way they they talk it seens that they know stuff, but recenlty some people popped and said that they were just like tctunerz scamming people. I wont be getting anything until someone else gets something from them and gives us some positive feedback. I love to see some turbo kit extually coming out even thou i never heared of ZPI.

I haven't heard anything bad about the Turbo only extra parts that ZPI is selling and trying not to make false promises on the shipping dates plus they say that they are telling the customers that they are waiting on the parts themselves.

Is it me, or does that tC have stock rims on the back tires, and aftermarkets on the fronts? Anyway, this looks pretty promising. Now if only I had $2,400...

The car is a front wheel drive, so ultimately, they would need better tires for testing purposes.

 

[zeromotorsports]

anyone have info on which parts they are using? i know they are using the 16G turbo, but not much else...

Find the discussions about it over on ScionLife and you will find your answers.

My advise is to wait until most members get them on their cars. All I've seen from them so far are videos of their car.

I can show you videos and even a turbo on my car too if 10 people send me $2400/each. But that would be my car, not the 10 people that sent money.

I think we've been through this same discussion about Scionspeed. Same deal: pay "reduced" prices up front, and get turbo system. From what I now understand, Scionspeed is having trouble delivering, and hasn't yet filled the pre-orders they received.

Any decent shop will have the money to finance a kit buy. If they can't finance all the parts and pieces to put the kits together themselves, what kind of service can you expect to receive after the sale?

I have NEVER seen ANY turbo kit for a Supra that advertised pre-orders. HKS, GReddy, and Blitz have never had their customers put their money up first before they made a kit. I am extremely skeptical of any venture asking for money first to provide a kit later.

[Bee24]

Just curious. Was it a Saturn Redline or a plain saturn coupe?

Scionspeed has seemingly vanished. At least ZPI posts nearly every day.
