Just to clarify things up for those who do not know... Joe (Dezod West) has been there for paul every step of the way from installing the kit to when it blew to now. So Dezod and Dezodwest havn't even come close to abandoning their customers.
If I remember correctly when I called Joe to tell him that Pauls car had a problem he was still in bed sleeping and he jumped out of bed and grabbed a bunch of tools to give "Dezod West Roadside Assistance" early on a Saturday morning. I know of ZERO companies that do that for their customers. So for anyone to say even come close to comparing ZPI to Dezod is CrAzY!
This unfortunate case with Anuroks car is just another perfect example of DezodWests excellent customer service. Dezod West FTMFW

Due to some unfortunate circumstances in my financial situation I have to get rid of the turbo to be able to afford the engine work.
I need my car for work and transport and getting that fixed is more important to me than having the turbo as of now.
If anyone is looking to buy a brand new kit (30 miles or so on it) PM me for a price or something.
Sigh, all this work and it turns out like this.
And to whoever it was that said I got on it...I assure you I didn't. What it felt like was a spike in boost and it jumped like crazy when it happened. This is going from 3rd to 4th.
Even when I was NA I did not down shift hard enough to red line it, and I surely did not start with the install of the kit =/

AND I assume it would be hard to sell a turbo kit that was on an engine when it failed. So, good luck man and check EVERYTHING and make sure it`s right. I am pretty sure it was because of the tune without gauges.

Anyway, I'm sorry you have to get rid of it. I know what it's like to go through this and you will probably be better off not having to be stressed with the money as much if you had kept the kit. Good luck and I'll ask around if anyone in my club is looking for a kit.

Well, the original poster can be glad he didn't have a ZPI kit do this to your car. Otherwise you would have vultures all over it taking a dump in your thread. Funny after reading so many pages how the comments would be DRASTICALLY different had this been a guy who had a kit from the former ZPI.
I had to say it.lolOh please, they were all over ZPI's case LONG before the fiasco.

"Double standards" - As if we're the same as ZPI and should be compared to them equally when one has a problem? You've got to be joking me.
Let it go. We're not screwing over the customer, he's not mad at us, things are getting resolved. We don't abandon anything and it seems as though you want to stir things up with me and Paul, or Dezod as a whole from time to time just to nit pick. I know you aren't a fan of Dezod but the instigation does not have to exist.

"I" like to instigate things and stir up things.....
You complaining about 1 person (me), when there are dozens that make far Worst comments than I ever do.Who said anything about screwing over a customer. My point was, if this guys motor blew on a ZPI kit....
IMMEDIATE response would be......"oh, your kit is horrible".
Don't act like what I'm saying is not true.

I would write what I really think about this guys story, but then I would be stooping to other peoples levels in "bashing".

I didn't put the words in your mouth, you wrote them....lol. "Recently" released is what you wrote, not me.
I think I saw another rumor some time ago that his wife left him too....

wow this crazy ZPI fanboi is still around, referring to "rhythmnsmoke".
"anurok", sorry to hear about your loss. Your car was healthy enough to drive all the way to AZ. After turbo installed then kaboom the next day. Anyone who says its a faulty engine need to go hang themselves. Dezod at minimum should cover half of the bill to replace your engine.

I cant beleive they wont take it back, I mean the guy should have told you to put a boost controller to regulate boost. Did he even tell about boost spikes? Dezod really is not giving you and exceptional customer service like they make it seem on these boards! It is like we talk to him on the phone or text, and he gives us bull answers, yet when we get on these boards he's all no paul we are taking care of you we are trying really hard....BULL!!!
They didn't even make the Downpipe and the wastegate line up properly, so know the shop over here has to fix there mistake by cuttung it and re-weilding...WHAT A NIGHTMARE!!

It has not been a fun ride for me =/
The kit will not go back in the car at this point and I will have to try and sell it. I need to cover some of the cash that is being spent on my credit card so I can pay bills.
It sucks, but I don't have much power over what the shop wants for the install really.
After they told me how much it would be to install the gauges , reweld the down pipe, and install the turbo my heart sank =/
I also can not post in the classifieds section so this is not going to be easy.
