zpi stage 1 kit questions?
ok have a 05 06 zpi stage one. and have 2 questions.
1. my is cars an 08 5speed with 53k. i know MAF is different but is there any one that is running a zpi on 07 +. and is there any other issues i need to know before the kit goes on only running the 8.5 pounds ?
2. anyone ever tuned a zpi kit on unichip?
3. and the manifold was cracked down the middle when i got it. and i had it welded back. is it most likely to crack again or should it be fine?

dont evern bother with that pos unichip get at least the f/ic if not ultimate n depends with zpi's manis they r hit n miss about the cracking issue mine was cracked once got it welded n never again but my boys has nvr cracked at all so its hit or miss i know that the earlier zpi manis were more prone to cracking than the later ones also do not run more than 6psi untuned or u will do damage to ur motor! g.l. though

Cracked down the middle as on the flange? If so, you just messed it up. Should have researched a little before taking it to get welded as it was split in the flange on purpose to relieve pressure to actually keep the manifold From cracking.

well the only reason im going with unichip is bc my buddy is sponsored by them. he has a 05 06 turbonetics kit on a 2010 . so he asked for a 07+ harness and dude from unichip said here il just send you a whole new system. so my buddy just gave me the old unichip system. so then my bud asked how much with my discount will a 07+ harness be for me. unichip dude said il just send you one. so im like holly ____ this is awesome. but it gets beter. then we asked unichip dude hey how much for a tune. he said well bc my buddies sponsored he said you get one free tune. so im bouncing off the wall by now. and i was sketchy of unichip before untill i rode in my buddies tc and its awesome only on 8.5 pounds for now till he gets his boost controller then he might try 10 or 12.
but all im looking for is 8.5 for now.

yep the way my buddy gets it and how im going to get it done he gets his lap top hooks it up to the unichip and this all happens in the car. he gets his phone to put out a wifi signal so he can accesses the world wide web on it!! lol and then calls the dude from unichip witch he is in OREGON by the way and uses a program so the dude from unichip can use my buddies computer. then all we do is constant pull and tell the speed,rpm and air/fuel and dude from unichip types in everything. its pretty impressive.

and on the 07+ is the intake pipe the one with the maf does that throw a check engine light bc ive been told something about how the size of the intake pipe throws code or something like that?

I KNEW IT! LOL...when you said your friend was sponsored by Uni-chip and then putting ZPI kit into the equation was a bit of a give away....lol. Yeah Evan was telling me how Uni-chip was hooking him up.
Man I thought you got rid of Lewis old kit. See you still holding onto it...lol.

MPG won't be to effected and in some instances people get better mpg. Not sure what you mean my the intake pipe throwing a code. Never heard of anyone throwing a code from the intake piping size. As long as your MAF works you should be fine.
