hey bud sorry to hear all the trouble.
Get ear plugs so you can drive to Houston and have Chris save you from suicide.
I hope Todd will pay to ERL in time when my block arrives there. Otherwise i'm screwed.. or will have to get my money back thru paypal and pay directly to ERL.

hey kev you think you got problems...i just tried to help a guy out with installing a ZPI stage 0 thats got an intercooler...holy ish bat man, thats one effed up kit. granted its been driven into the ground and changed owners quit a few times but damn...iv never seen something sooo flucked up...i had to tell the guy sorry mang but i gatta go, your on your own. fitment issues dont even top the list, the J-pipe (hot side ic pipe) runs right beside the down pipe and touches the turbo and bangs into the downpipe (may be able to tweek it). no bolts, 1 gasket but 3-4 others mia, cant use normal metric bolts on J pipe, crash bar either has to be cut or removed, the intercooler hangs by one bolt and a makeshift three piece bracket (prolly going to drill a couple of holes and bolt it from undernieth or fab brackets to better support), manifold looks like one of my first welding projects in high school, cheap wastgate, wastgate sealing ring fell the hell out of the damn thing and no one can seem to find it so the wastgate will not allow the turbo to spool, dumptube looks like something my little girl made. I could go on and on but its 4 in the morning and im beat...

That ZPI kit sounds like a nightmare of its own chris. Makes sense though, there is a reason why ZPI isn't around anymore.
Rus,
I need to buy some insane noise canceling ear plugs if i want to make it to chris without my ears profusely bleeding. haha. I would keep an eye on Todd and make sure he pays ERL, I know my buddy paid Todd for his ERL work and he didn't pay ERL for months even though my buddy paid him for it. ERL almost ended up selling off his block.

i think the whole ZPI nightmare kit is just a result of being installed so many times by soo many people and folks loosing critacle nuts and bolts as well as parts and people making their own little "additions".

Kev...i say do wat i did...ditch the tt kit..sell it...and go Dezod..(or ptuning)
I had my bad experience with Todd and I try to warn everyone I can about him. Stick with Dezod and PTuning and you'll be golden. Those shops actually care about their customers and don't lie about shipping.
Todd told me several times that my stuff was on its way to me, only to find out it wasn't even done. He missed several deadlines and even lied to me about refunding my money when I got sick of his lying.
Be sure to go to the BBB website and let them know about your experience with him so that others don't get suckered into buying his stuff.

[quote="mospeedtc"]All this and ppl still defend TT and try to lure ppl to him .... isnt it great[/quote
I don't think anyone here still can back up TT 100%. People were still drawn to TT about their quality, but since that is out the flippin window now, its hard to support them. I know I am done supporting TT.

Could have been a "make-shift" ZPI kit. Meaning the intercooler pipes were not production pieces. Never heard of a single Production ZPI setup not fitting properly. My intercooler had a bolt on top, and two on the bottom to connect to the frame.

Definitely not from fitment issues with kits. The reason they aren't around around anymore wasn't because of a bad product, but because of bad business decisions. My whole video catalog is all made possible because of that kit. Only like one or two vids I have are after I refreshed (recreated) the kit.
