It has a custom mount....but I am not going to bring up any ZPI stuff in your thread man, cause it will only get bashed. When are you expecting to get yours back to the track???

Sorry.
The hot side intercooler pipe was to short.
He said that was his fault for not checking better.
We cut an inch and a half off the side connecting to the intercooler just to get it to work, but since it cuts off the bulge, i can't boost to much or it will blow the pipe off.
Also, the connector for the first sensor right after the intake air filter was welded backwards. Big issue. He said that was "someone elses fault" and he's kind of upset about that. I had another issue with the dump tube, but is was due to the oil pan fitting being a little offf.
in any event, he will be shipping new pipes, hopefully this week, for all 5 of the kits that went out this week, since they will all have these issues.

let me know if you want any more info or how we worked around the problems, but I'm sure you have probably talked to todd about these by now.

im not trying to bash. i think that would be a good idea for supporting the weight of your turbo.

I know he wants a standalone, but I don't think he'll get one till it's required by the track ;D

todd said all 5 kits that went out this week had the same issues (except the dump tube, that's just me). Brett and I were the only ones that have recieved them so far, so if yours is one that has already shipped, you will need new tubes. If yours has not shipped, he'll send you the correct pipes.

so far, it's great! And I'm currently only running on a .3bar spring, and can't rev past 5k! but I know it's there!
I'm calling in a minute to get a tune set up for saturday. Hopefully my new pipes and injectors are here by then.
then I'll get some dynos, some track times if I make it out, and next week I'll post up a full writeup and stop draging your thread down!!!

i dont mind if people jack my threads, they will eventually get back on topic i belive he went with an spa. i think its a .63 a/r hotside, and .70 a/r cold side. it should be compareable to yours or mine. the pics are on zpi's website.
