As the poop turns... [Goodbye ZPI] - Toyota Yaris Forums

You also notice how they had a dyno run of a Yaris turbo on their website, and there was never a dyno chart... just some hip-hop and some graphics that came up.

Then, the only definitive proof of turbo was Mark "Don't Smoke Me" Potts and his 8.7 second 0-60 run (or 0-68) that was so less than impressive. There is some other guy that supposedly got the turbo done at ZPI, but you never hear him on here nor has he ever done a video, photo, or anything else (particularly in response to this fiasco).

So, there you go, I'd love to get a turbo, from a company that is going to be around in the future and actually ship product.

I feel for any entrepreneur, but when you offer product you can't ship, you need to NOT OFFER THE SHIT! DUH...

Thanks for talking me out of donating $6000 to the ZPI going out of business fund, Chino!! Ok, now we need to make our own!

Damn...i knew ZPI was bad on the forums here and scionlife....but the fact that they were so troubled and still kept advertising and taking in peoples money by sponsoring mods to cars in those car mags...like the guys subie in Super Street and also this months MODIFIED mag...the Nissan Versa with Fox Marketing...it had ZPI all over it...that's just plain wrong... misleading the public.
After that article hit i bet tonnes of people hit the ZPI site and poured in lots of $$'s........to them that they won't ever see again....
