LOL just because you own a shop doesn't make you smart, I know multiple people who shouldn't even be near a car let alone installing parts or doing custom work. Anyways, you should ask him and if he goes huh prime what? then thats an issue. Anyways, its an easy replacement, tell him to suck it up he got a deal and to drop another $150 on a used turbo

Yoda, thanks so much for posting man. I can't believe the amount of stuff you went through in the past couple months.

Glad you're hanging in there though.

I really appreciate the update and feedback on this kit. I'm now convinced I want nothing to do with their turbocharger. However, I was wondering if you could elaborate a bit more on the "fitment" issues? This term has been floating around forever and I wanna know exactly what is meant by this.

I'm pretty bummed I didn't contact you sooner lmao. I wish you all could have seen the face palm that followed immediately after I saw that low ball offer.

i can try can get a hold of mike(the guy i sold it to) to get more details on the fitment. hope he is not still upset at me lol.

craziness! Alabama here you come.

cali yaris · 07-22-2010, 02:08 AM

quite a story, glad things are getting better for you.

Sounds like we are still waiting for the proper test subject for that kit.

Looks like it may be me afterall.

Yoda, can you please ask your buyer if he primed his turbo as well? I may be using theirs afterall and am hoping that's the only reason it exploded.

Yoda · 07-22-2010, 08:07 PM

i just call him and tried to ask. He was like what you want now then hung up....sorry best bet is to ask one of the overseas Zage users or google zage turbo on the web and see if any of the honda guys used it....

cali yaris · 07-22-2010, 08:44 PM

^ ouch

Nexus1155 · 07-22-2010, 09:56 PM

Sucks man, you should find him on some forum and just go "lolumad because you don't know what you're doing."

cdydjded · 07-22-2010, 10:49 PM

Sorry for the hiatus guys, family issues, IMO the reason for the turbo exploding is Zage's oil return/pan designed. Iv said it before & Ill say it again, it doesnt work. Now the question is did the guy that bought the kit use the pan or not? Also would like to add that if there is metal in the I/C, there is going to be metal in the engine....

Nexus1155 · 07-22-2010, 11:34 PM

I dont know how it would be unless the tube is uber restrictive. A return is a return is just a tube that goes down to the pan or wherever to drain oil into.

Intercoolers do not pass chunks of metal through the piping. Depending on what side it is on on the intercooler, it may never see the engine.

Yoda · 10-10-2010, 09:11 PM

WOOT long over due update. Got promoted in Florida so no more Alabama. Got some cheddar to waste and was thinking this should be my first buy....

YES.

Just don't get everything you need, then decide to sell it to some random lowballer.

Yoda · 10-11-2010, 11:44 AM

lol not this time the promotion really helped. Now i have room to breath.

Yoda · 10-18-2010, 03:57 PM

the first step is commitment

cali yaris · 10-18-2010, 08:14 PM

^ awww, love it

That turbo looks very familiar.

It looks like the same one I'm using. A word of advise. Use a downpipe that will blend wategate and through turbine gases smoothly or you will have boost creep. I speek from experience. But that turbo spools super fast and has plenty of flow.
