I've seen only bad instances with the ZPI kit, how can a person honestly compare a China-made turbine to a presicion engineered one? I have met many many owners of boosted tC's over the past 2 years and I take it how I see it, when I see a stage zero auto tC put down 117whp fresh out of the box, that's crap, when I see tubes hitting the hood, that's crap. When I see Silicone couplers wear through against the core support, that's crap. When I waste-gate gaskets blow out every 3 months, that's crap. When I see knock-off Tial wastgates, that's crap. When I see a person get their stage zero in the mail and ZPI shoves a peice of foam in the intake pipe because they ran out of cone filters, that's crap.<<--------- I have SEEN all those things.
A VERY reputable performance shop on the east coast refused to be a distributor of ZPI products because they continue to get ZPI boosted tC's in the shop often for repair. When I SEE a problem with another turbo kit, ill be happy to post it.
Sorry i might ____ some people off by telling the truth with what I see.
