Default "Turbo Kit" BUILD **Updates PG40**

So after hanging around Kenny, and Travis for a several weeks now it was obviously time to make my car UNIQUE once again! It was time....for BOOST. Ok so I talked with Kenny and the crew at ZPI and we decided on a "turbo kit".... ok that might be a mild understatement. By the way if have not had the pleasure of talking to.......well anyone over at ZPI, you should stop by there shop sometime, you wont find a better group of people, or company for that matter! Top notch ppl producing and tuning top notch products!

Here are some current progress pictures of "the turbo" kit:

Teardown




Some of the new "turbo kit" parts:






We needed some Gauges!


OH and we had to make sure this "turbo kit"....was UNIQUE!!!









MUCH MORE COMING SOON!!

Much like my idea.... Waiting anxiously for my stage one piping and FMIC, as I'll be all BSP on that piping as well, in addition to anodizing the FMIC... Love the clean freak look and Kenny commented about your kit as well over last weekend and I love the way it turned paint wise!

Awesome to see more clean and beautiful ZPI setups out there and agree fully that Kenny, Keisha, and all the other crew are just plain out cool to hang with and talk to...

You and I are going to be running some beautiful setups and am glad to see another tC F/I with good color taste!

Default piping

Hey I almost picked this piping up last friday while I was at ZPI. It would have matched my xB perfectly LOL. I stopped by to talk with Shawn as Kenny was away at the time and got to meet Billy picking up his BCP xB. Yep the people at ZPI are a great bunch to meet If anyone gets the chance to stop by there by all means do

The pipes are all custom coated, they do not come that way, but coating is always an option with the ZPI stuff......go as mild or wild as you want!!!

You will have to post some pictures of yours too, would love to see them!

I was very happy the way everything turned out, and the red is totally the color I was hoping for. Whats really nice is the coating is not just the plain jane powder coating, its more like vehicle paint with clear and everything!! Man I cant wait to see that thing assembled!

I looooooooove Brian's red pipes....I check them out everytime I walk by them. This kit is going to be sexy.

P.S. Loving the "Get in the Zone" bag that is sitting in front of your car in the shot where it's not on the lift. Dear Lord I hope that bag is being used for trash, or car wash!!

LOL, I noticed the bag as well. I figured the ONLY explanation for that one is that it is for trash.

Can't wait to see more pics.

The piping is from ZPI's stage 1 kit, this kit will have the latest pipe routing............and there are a few things going on the car......well lets just say you will probably be seeing them in the ZPI catalog very soon!!!
