I'm sure your comments were directed at 1 or 2 people in this thread...I just don't want your comments coming off as "Travis is still sucking the ZPI rooster" type thing.
It's simple as this...the OP has an 08, even a used ZPI kit will not work with the MAF on the 08...look elsware...lock thread.

Seals blow on EVERY turbo kit. That has no reflection on the product, it's an on going thing with the tC's high oil pressure, along with oil flow problems from setups. Kumitsu for example. The thread entitled "3 turbos in 1 year". He has a Dezod kit to start....seals gone, then GT30, seals gone, then rebuilt it, seals gone again. How long did it take for his seals on his Dezod turbo to go.....about 2-3 months. And he doesn't even race his car.
Now compare that to me. You KNOW how bad I beat on my stuff since day Numero Uno. And they are JUST now going after all that abuse. It's been nearly a year and a half since I've been boosted. That's back in the day when there was no Dezod, and barely anyone knew who ZPI was.
No this is not a Travis defending ZPI name BS that everyone keeps trying to throw in the mix. This is a Travis being insulted after all I've done with my car. Basically, when you say the ZPI products were crap....then you might as well say my car is Crap and has a Crap product on it, when I've proven time and time again what it can and will do when it comes to racing.
I am JUST as vocal and a crap talker when someone says...."Scions shouldn't be raced, or aren't meant for modding". Don't believe me, just go to any of the various Other Scion Youtube videos and read comments. I will quickly step up when someone either insults what I've done with the tC, or talking crap about Scions in general. I love my Scion and I love what it has done. Calling the mods on it "crap" especially after they are proven, I tend to take a little personal.
My statements have nothing to do with the crap zpi did to me (there's that word crap again). I've seen first hand the crap that is a zpi kit one more then one car so it's not like I'm pulling this out of my a$$ or anything.
How long did your GReddy crap last?

Well, I can say I wouldnt support a company that ripped off so many other sl'rs. Smoke doesnt seem to have a problem with that..
Can we atleast get you to acknowledge (friend or not) the bad buisness and rip offs that kenny gave everyone? Just because a FEW turbo's are left that havent had any problems, doesnt mean the guys not a slimebag.
I do understand defending your car to an extent, but isnt there a point in time when you say - hmm .. wow, zpi REALLY screwed over a lot of good people on here, but wait I still support them..

Ive had to work on a zpi stage 0 car and I hafta say that the kit is, was, and always will be a piece of as Paul stated "crap". The worst quality and craftsmanship Ive seen to date on a tC turbo kit.
That is all...carry on
