I dont know anything other than he called kenny to let him know after he left the dyno. He just had it tuned. i think kenny had to send him an adjustment on the map because it was idleing funny or something. i have no idea, just take what im sayong with a grain of salt, lol

Thve stuidied the tC's in and out? Really? PLEASE give more details...

ZPI does nothing but work on scions ALL DAY EVERYDAY, and are actually inside a motor all day. What other Scion dedicated company can say that? I would trust ZPI's advise on the tC's motor more than anyone else. Dezod has a nice turbo kit, but please do not try and misinform others. If you must, COMPARE why you think DEZOD knows the tc more inside and out.

woooow, calm down there, u make it seem like u work for them. Never said that zpi didnt' know anything. Its just that if u look at all the sticky w/ fuel managent and turbo's dezod made a lot of informative posts about it to help the whole scionlife community. Only thing he might have to worry about is their shipping. From a lot of the posts i've seen, a good amount of people don't recieve their items for a while.

i still don't trust their shipping from all those threads that i see about how ridiculous their shipping. Thank gooodness for forums. Some people get lucky some people don't. I remeber even seeing Turbo Toyotas making a post about how he had a bad experience with them.

It was 250 degress outside today, aliens are taking over next month, toyota is really owned by the French.

And to think, because its online on a fourm, it must be real and everyone must belive me! Thank gooodness for forums. I remember even seeing More tC's blowing there motors going with other company's!

* On a serious note, yeah ZPI shipping might suck a little, and every company has had there share of issues, problems, and complaints. But make a more educated decision on an investment than " I saw it on a forum, I know this will Rock! "

anywayz half the pople can find out the experience they had w/ companies because of forums. Its not about just a post someone makes on the forum, but also if they show some good sources, other links, and explain what they are talking about. When i first got my tc i knew nothing about nor did i ever think i'd ever boost it. Now its a COMPLETELY different story thnx to different sources i found from people posting, peoples experience with the car boosted. U not only gotta pay to play but u gotta research, and the forums helped me A LOT.

I think it's a good idea to get feedback from actual customers (on message boards and at meets) as well as direct from the companies (but remember, they are all salesmen)

I had quite a few conversations with Todd before I purchased my Turbo Tyotas kit. Not really much info on SL about it.

Thas a all part of it too. I actually messaged some companies and e mailed regarding questions aboutj their kits, and other accesories. The only regret i have about turbonetics is that they are known for having blown turbos
