If you didnt want this thread to turn into a flame. Then you shouldnt of titled it like that.
The title leads any new readers to believe ZPI did something wrong. Which in turn brings up alot of BS.
If it were me doing a "DYI built" then thats how I would of titled it. Then maybe in that thread said that ZPI isnt involed. But never make the title that.

THIS THREAD IS ABOUT A DIY TURBO BUILD! ......AND HOW DARE YOU COMPARE DEZOD TO TRD SHAME SHAME SHAME!
How does that change the fact your only talking about buying injectors? Yeah, didn't know buying injectors = spending a lot of money...
And exactly WHAT corporation would that be? If you were paying attention, I was not comparing Dezod to TRD. I was comparing company sizes, work loads, and business workings. To which Dezod to me has the lightest load of all of them.

Please do not drag this argument any more out on Grant's thread Travis. I do not feel it is appropriate and this always seems to evolve the same way....zpi this, zpi that....dezod vs zpi........it's getting REAL old.
Secondly, I feel we should not be negatively judged by the fact that we answer questions online and via phone frequently because we do what's called MULTI-TASKING.
We answer phones, emails and PMs all while doing 1-2 other things. It is part of the way of life here. So please do not try to make it out like we make 1 sale per day and surf the web for hours on end, because it is not the case. We have several projects, have a well orchestrated team, which has recently grown by 2 people recently, one of which is being trained now as I type this. I love how this stuff always seems to snidely leak out on your posts in defense of ZPI, and quite frankly I find it amusing.
Grant, the only valid point I see is retitling the thread. My $.02

1) No one is comparing you NEGATIVELY to anyone. All I was saying is that I don't see you "grunt" working sorta speak. I can't recall seeing any post by you/team picking up a welding torch to piece together turbo pipes. Did I say it was a bad thing, NO. I did not imply that you sold less than everyone, if it came off that way, my apologies. Just merely stating you have the time to do such. (how big is your staff by the way, just out of curiosity)?
2) I don't feel his title was appropriate, to which you agreed upon. Why would you find it amusing when you agree?
3) If I think it's BS, I'm going to call you out on it despite who he/she may be talking about. If I felt that someone was being stupid in a post about Dezod, I would do the same thing. That goes for anyone else that I think was being a bit of a child. (And yes I have stuck up for other people who I thought were being wrongly done)

I am of the opinion that standing up for ZPI is pointless. They still lie, they still have people who haven't seen their turbo kits a month or more after buying them, people waiting months or more for refunds, and there's no amount of webcams, cheerleaders or advertising buyoffs on popular websites that will bring that reputation back. What will bring their reputation back is delivering on their promises and not making up excuses.
If they are doing enough business away from the internet where they have multiple cars in their shop, they should give up their online business and stick to what they're good at - servicing customers in person. Because on the internet they're just going to look shady for the reasons mentioned above - regardless of what the circumstances are.
Just my opinion.
