So if you want to start your own thread in the shop experiences forum I would be more than happy to discuss my oppinion of ZPI. But with all that said I would like to get this thread back on topic and let everyone know that I'll be getting my car tuned monday morning and taking it to the track wednesday evening. Dyltone I noticed you live in lakeworth I do as well, I hope you can make it out to the track wednesday night because even though are oppions on ZPI differ I would still like some friendly competition. I hope your car is as great as you say it is but if it is not even built yet then maybe you should wait till it is done before you start challenging people to race. anyways hope to see you there man and by the way what is your name?

Will you be running DR or slicks on Wed? What PSI will you be running and what do you think/hoping you're time will be?

It's not like Dezod has a squeaky clean bill when it comes to turbo reliability....
Anyhow, Back to our regularly scheduled program....ZPI FTMFW!
Please do not get me started Travis.
If you need to say something to me directly, please do so. Don't beat around the bush. His attacks where at your beloved company, not Dezod. I am not involved in this at all, so DO NOT try to involve us what-so-ever.
What am I suppose to be scared? Don't get YOU started....Don't get ME started... I don't say nothing because I would rather remain professional about it. So, you just keep on doing what you do. No need to thread jack this thread anymore than what it already was.
I just figured it wouldn't be long before you came and put your 2 cents into it. And...yep, I was right.

You know, I might not have responded to your post, if it where not for that snide little remark at the end.

I’ve always tried to stick up for people who bash the quality of ZPI, have always heard good things from costumers. I know ZPI had their share of problems way back when but what company doesn’t have mishaps every now and then. Some people make a big thing out of the smallest issues like a kit being late by a few weeks, it’s going to come just be patient. Now I’m not even close to being as knowledgeable about turbos and tuning like Paul or even rhythmnsmoke but I’ve noticed a lot of ZPI buys will throw a lot of jabs at Dezod just to turn around get offended when the dirt from the past is brought back up. I know the ZPI makes proven kits that perform but can’t you guys talk your kits up without bashing others. Paul doesn’t just post on here with a flame for no reason, you’re giving him one.

That comment of yours prove two things about you. One, You are a die hard ZPI fanboy who refuse to believe that ZPI had screw others in the past. Two, your knowledge of turbo is complete garbage.

# 1 - You know nothing about me, so shut your mouth
# 2 - The past is that, past. every turbo company on here has had problems. so whats your point?
# 3 - the 16g is not the only turbo ZPI uses. Your knowlege of ZPI's product line is complete garbage.

Dont leave, i just got my popcorn!!
Its all good, you think your all bad with your tC's and turbos...
But when I build the "xA of Apocalypse" (est. 450 hp Daily Driven, Possible ST205 swap, bad ___ rally car
)
THEN you will all BOW to me!! MUAHA!!
(oh, btw, WHO CARES what turbo is THE ULTIMATE BEST, there isn't one. A ZPI kit in one tc is alot different in another tc, same with a DEZOD kit, and w/e kits they make for the tc. Every car is different, and every driver is different.)
(example, if you got 1 tc, and put 1 turbo kit in it, some how star treck clone the mf, then gave it to two different people, in a few months maybe even weeks, there would be a big difference in the cars performance and reliability state.)
Now im going back to my popcorn and watching the drama, this is better then the young and the restless..
