Default ZPI Turbo shipping this week!!

ZPI stated the pipes were in transit to them late last week...according to this post

https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...73788&start=25

<snip>
As of the 26th the first batch customers will recieve a 300 dollar discount.

We always welcome and encourage our customers to contact us directly with any questions that you may have regarding this or any matter.

We are still waiting on the pipe they were shipped out ot us yesterday. So we are hoping for mid next week. We recieved the MAF flanges last Friday. We will need a day to get these welded up and then they are gone.
<End snip>

So, if all goes well, initial turbos should be leaving by Friday of this week, maybe Thursday....

Who on here was in the first batch?

I heard that cincytc was down in louisville this weekend, street racing with some locals. I hope that the kits ship out this week for you guys, it will be great to have more boosted imports out there surprising people.

It is disturbing how many people on here do nothing but go bash threads for no apparent reason. Maybe its just me, but useless b!tching is just that.. useless.

I would think that those that ordered kits and a waiting for them would be happy to at least hear something. I am watching the situation in hopes that a good company will emerge out of it all.

I see that the troll is back on here.. which baffles me even more. As if he sits on here waiting to hear zpi or anything he can jump on. Man, get a girlfriend, a life, a habit or something! Your input is useless.. You have still (at least that i have seen) offered ZERO input as to why you dont like the owner of zpi. So it is un-founded bs as far as everyone else is concerned. Why not just post your actual experience? I have asked this before with no response, which I expected.

People, lets act like we arent 13 and try to at least have some substance behind the complaints. Every time someone posts a thread, someone has to come in and try bashing on them for one reason or another... acting like kids.

^^ Its funny how many things we can find to dump money into! I would think my gf would help out there... but her response is as long as she gets something nice and shiny for her ring finger, I can buy myself toys as well...... my wallet is doomed, doomed I tell you!

i nicknamed my wife's engagement ring "turbo" for a long time. Just remember not to stretch your CC too thin or anything, I always tell people if you can't pay cash for your performance parts then you have no reason to be buying them.

either way, i hope you guys get your kits shipped and make some good power. Living in louisville and attempting to be impartial with all the local drama is interesting. What's better is all the cool rumors you get to hear about everyone.

Oh yeah, I am all for saving cash for that stuff! That is why i am more patient than some I think about getting the kits out. The longer they take, the more cash I can set aside in the "dont care if I blow it" stash until I buy one!

I see your point. I'm with you. So far, it's been pretty good. I really expected it with the other cincytc thread, but it's all good

I think he was a local though. He either had stuff done custom or for whatever reason they gave him priority for being local. Maybe he got his order in many years ago LOL I dunno.

Either way, it'll be great to see some turbo install threads next week
