Another reason to keep your tc..is that it's reliable it gets here and there..and you still have the warranty i believe?..Im sorry to hear about the ZPI thing I was thinking of sellin my SC and get a Zpi stage 1 kit..but when you told us that I'm a little shook to buy frm them..

Well I'd love to go Dezod but the reality is I can't afford it again. My $1500 budget for next year is basically my whole tax teturn. I wish nothing ever went wrong in the first place because I want my car turbo'd more than anything but its just not feesable. I was looking into the rsx because its only $15500 so my monthly payment wouldn't increase. I love my tC but like most car guys, I'm just not satisfied with the power, and I don't think there's any way for a substantial increase without F/I.

He said it sounded like that the problem was already existent and the turbo just made it occur quicker, so he told me to try to take it to Toyota without the kit on. He sent my stock parts back to me, and it worked. Toyota replaced the whole bottom end, and it took 5 weeks total. I then asked Kenny if he could atleast help sell my kit because I decided to buy a camera for school, he agreed to help, but just stopped anwering emails and/or phone calls. I wish it never happened because i want my car to be turbo'd more than anything, but it's not really possible now. Im a full time student and dont work enough to save up 5k to have it done again.

Why the hell did you buy a used turbo anyway?! Not to mention, you stated that it worked a long time for your friend...so not only is it used, but used a lot! Cmon man! Turbos will not, nor will they ever (just ask Cleo) outlast an engine so most likely all that use on your buddies car, probably added to the problem. Now about the ZPI problem...Kenny had every right to say that he doesn't know how you drove it home and what you did (nor do we) and when he test drove it (hard or not) it worked fine...same thing would be the case if it was a toyota dealer...they're gonna blame you. Also, it is not his job to help you sell that useless turbo kit and he was probably just trying to be nice at first but they don't wanna harm they're company image over your defunct turbo kit...they had enough problems when they first started out and have recently gained some ground back. I'm in no way a ZPI supporter because i have no dealt with them, nor have i bought anything from them...but i definitely have nothing against them either and from your story...there's no possible way they can be blamed...sounds more like your bad decision to buy a used turbo kit, and crappy luck.
Now to answer your actual thread...
I'm not gonna convince you to keep ur tC and it seems like nobody else is either...get a car you're happy with and can afford to mod. There is nothing wrong with your car at all, but if you're not happy...get rid of it!!!!

But the intent on this topic was to get info on products that are available for the tC for an all motor setup that will be of help to me. For instance, info on how much the Camcon controller will help, before or after installation of header, exhaust etc. Not to mention I dont know if there are any NA Cams available yet. Or any other products yet to be mentioned.

Oh man oh man, when I saw this thread topic my eyes lit up with the prospects of what whitty responses I might be able to toss out!
Disclaimer: I'd hate to lose a fellow tC in my neighborhood
Top 5 reasons why you should keep your tC
5) Its not a civic?
4) Why be upside down in your financing?
3) It beats driving a xB or xA
2) If you were really going to do it, you never would have asked
1) Clearly, you can't afford a Lexus
That is all!
