UPDATE!!!!!!!!

You guys are going to love it even more....we made some more changes after getting yet another og mani that sat in a different place. I have made so many of these things its not even funny....but thats what it takes to make it perfect.

Those who have ordered will get some new additional parts at no additional cost as this was part of the learning curve for myself and my guys.

But for those who want this its not just a mani upgrade anymore.

It now includes:

A new downpipe
An adapter elbow for the compressor outlet
A new hot side chargepipe

The first batch of manifolds are done...the ones who got "polished" or flat black coatings and the real polish are complete. Your new hot side IC pipe is finished as well. I just dropped of the downpipes at the coaters and then we are finally done....

Its been a pain in the butt, but we got it right. Hope once you all get your stuff you agree (fingers crossed)

^ x2 for dezod..when I ordered my NST pulley set I asked for the red oens..they actually called me the next day (I placed the order late in the evening the day before) and told me (on the phone) that they didn't have the crank pulley in red but only in gray..I told them go ahead and send the gray one cause I didn't care that much about the color and didn't really want to wait (because I'm impatient lol)

but it was such a simple thing yet it seems so hard for companies to take the time to do things like that these days.

My experience with Todd was ALL GOOD...but that was 2 years ago. I don't think I have heard a single good experience with him in the last year...so I hooked my buddy up with him for a unique kit, and yes, it was not all Todd's fault and it was not all my buddy's fault, but the end result was a car that is now in worse condition then when dropped off...doesn't run, is not complete, and now he cannot have his own car in his own booth at Scion Independence.

The main thing is...TT does not make the items untill they are paid for, so it's basically custom work. Custom work takes time and money and we should all understand that...but Todd should not be giving the impression that these things are "on the shelf" and "ready to ship" when something ALWAYS seems to come up.

I still love my TT kit...it runs great, so I still rep the craftmenship, but I will no longer be sendin any business his way untill things shape up...

I nor anyone saw this coming. At the time I placed my order everything was good. I saw thread after thread of satisfied customers and that's what made helped me to make my decision.

The reason why I asked where did I go wrong was because I don't understand why I was put on the bottom of the list. Why was I left for last when yet I spent the most?

This is really stressful. I just want what I paid for.

Im in the same boat with meaty.. if things continue like this TT will eventual go down and all that todd started (he started great) will just be a waste..

todd makes quality stuff, he needs to do something with fitment issues though.. he makes stuff by batches so a good chance that a slight unnoticed change may happens as he go from one batch to the next.. it will screw up replacement parts that will be ordered.. but really i dont know how he could still make his business right, hopefully its not too late

Would you wait 618 days?

This is ridiculous. I don't know the story with this thread, and not going to bother reading it all. All I know is, it gets bumped with another day each day...

Someone give me the cliff notes.

Hey Travis quick question. My boy just bought armyb11 zpi kit and i was wondering what fitting do i need to tap the oil pan with? If you have a pic of the way your set up was and what items you used i would greatly appreciate it.

You know what I would like to see.....the supposed multiple versions of the ZPI manifold. I honestly think it's all BS. It's a log manifold...seriously, the placement is the same on every last one of them. Per my knowledge, only two versions ever existed. The later version being made by Full Race.
