Stage 0 all happy and installed beautifully...
Finished my ZPI stage 0 kit install on Wednesday, Trailered it down to SN III on Thursday, took it privately on Thunderhill raceway on Friday for 20 minutes and it pulled like a champ!
Here's some fun shots... (It was all taped up for the trip back up, so we just cut the tape for air flow and left it at that for the fun track runs)
This kit is killer, easy to install, and will be upgraded to stage 1 plus goodies here in the near future!

Congrats man, that's looking really good. I hope I'll be able to do the same by the end of the year 
. Too bad there are no tracks like that in Oklahoma (that I know of). Was there anything in specific that U might of have a lil bit of trouble or something like that during the install?

The black turbo piping look very sexy! I need to get me some of those... What did you use to paint the pipes?
Turbo plus nitrous-oxide? That is going to be a killer combo. Have you tried the nitrous with your turbo yet?
Have you had a chance to take a peak at your A/F while you where hammering the throttle on the race track?
I would like to see more detail on your isntall and supporting hardware. Very nice looking tC.

Two pieces of advice on install...
Oil pan is a pain pain pain to get off and order the tapped pan if you want an even easier setup to pop on. Make sure to have a GOOD pair of large retainer clip pliers to be able to clock the cold side of the turbo... Those were my only two time consuming issues, as everything else just bolted cleanly on and run solid right out of the box...
Everything else more or less just bolted loosely together in the living room and dropped right in... just a matter of tightening everything back up and it was good to go.
Nothing IMHO matches the ease of install and the ability to run out of the box of the Stage 0... no harnesses, no manditory tuning, and use a socket, tap a vaccum line and tada... approx 100 hp of fun!

I really wish I had a video camera mount, or had a video camera at the track... but, we just stopped by to see Janine's uncle's track day, as they were running sportbikes for his training days... and we were on our way back up from California, to Portland!
Here's the real guys on the track!
We got really lucky and hit them right before a lunch break and got twenty minutes to ourselves on the track, we didn't even have time to even take the tape off the front of the car... just pushed it off the trailer and straight to the staging lane!
That track is insane... not flat like most tracks... which made it really technical... but fun...
The Stage 0 requires no reflash, and no added management, which adds to it's appeal for many users...
