A new special kind of metal, that apparently configures to different shapes when you induce a Specific static charge to it. If you don't have the right frequency, then it won't work. I know, I didn't believe it either, until Kenny rubbed his spiked hair, and then touched it, and 10 secs later it converted to an STS turbo system....

Naw, just waiting till the car is finished, and I'm sure all questions will be addressed if there are any.

The TUBING used on this manifold is not designed for this type of application. I really hope this is just a mock up becuase schedule 5 PIPING should definately be used for this turbo manifold. The pressure and especially the heat is going to do wonders to the thin walled TUBING. I'm a pipe design engineer so this time don't try to argue with me.

Wow
I shouldve neva started this thread. I was just curious. Now an outrage has begun. LOL i kinda find it amusing though. ZPI or Dezod. I would only know if i tried them both. But seeing as i was just rearended on saturday night. Turbo plans come later and right now all i got to worry about is gettin my car fixed so i can have a nice looking running car again.

lol im not sure ive seen anyone argue to the death but it seems from both sides of the field your all full of ____. you all have just posted information that you know and VERY FEW have posted any information to back it up. so since everyone likes to talk ____ and believe it have fun catching up to my 921 hp tc rwd. i have time slips! lol. idiots.
i see alot of discussion from folks who have no experience with the oppositions kit. i dont care if you take the setup off a wrx and put it on your car, you still will make more power, your still going to acheive your goal. zpi doesnt have anything special over dezod. their manifolds dont turn to dust at 120mph, their wastegates dont stay closed allowing 40psi, their turbo's dont spool at 1K rpm. both kits have positives and negatives. both companies have positives and negatives. i have dealt with both companies. me personally i have not had an issue with either. both provided me with great customer service and a quality product.

One of the 2 ZPI kits in Vegas that I know of has the standard one with the kit and they DID have some issues with it.

you forget one thing, these products are not manufactured by zpi. the turbo, wastegate, bov so on so forth. if any of these items fail due to manufacturers defect, so be it. that is not zpis fault. the flange on their kit is 38mm. there are many diff wastegates you can use. im pretty sure if it came down to it and you wanted their kit besides that wastegate they would set up a tial one so on so forth. same thing with dezod. they do not manufacture their own wategates. therefore how can you hold them accountable for that?

Wasn't calling you out, just pointing it out.
And the one here did not fail, they just had issues with it. Obviously, you can get whatever you want, as the other kit has a different one, but that is an additional cost. If you want the low price, you get the cheaper parts. Exactly what Paul said.
And I never said it was a ZPI wastegate. I said "the one that comes with ZPI's kit" even though in ZPI's product description, it says "ZPIracing External 38mm Wastegate." why don't they just say exactly what wastegate your getting with the kit?
I'll have to look at it again this weekend to see exactly what the brand was, cause I forgot.
