    Nah it was good im glad you did i wasn't trying to be a ass lol. I did get ahold of him i think lol. I was just hoping to kind of pile everything in one section is all for people who were interested in going turbo then they had a reference to look at instead of jumbling through posts and possibly missing vital information.

    Where are you seeing negative feedback on ZZP turbo kits? I don't think I've ever seen someone dissatisfied with their stattama/z7/z3 kit.

    I'd get a Z3 kit and save some money by making/plumbing your own air to air intercooler, there are writeups on this. It's a different kind of power going from supercharged to turbo.

    Here are some reviews on the site itself:
    ____

    I have only been to the track twice since the install.

    Full weight of 3605 w/o driver
    93 octane
    1.9's, stock cam
    same boost level matt set it at (12.5 w/ cutout open)
    no tuning other than Matt's base tune
    and the best part, my 225/60/16 all season snow tires.

    _____

    Hi guys writing to tell you I am extremely satisfied with the Z7 Intercooled Turbo kit I purchased in May. I have put thousands of trouble free miles on the car as it’s being used as a daily driver for work, do the grocery shopping and pick up the kid from daycare. The only thing troubling is how many high end sports car and sedan drivers are stopping me after a race to ask what the hell I did to my car to put them in another zip code J. Keep up the great work and excellent support that you guys provide for our cars and hope you are having as much fun as I am as your turbo kit has brought me back to my Buick Grand National days.

    Thought I would give an update after having this kit installed for 1 year. No real problems to speak of and still on the tune provided. No mods other than rockers/HV3. On 12psi car ran a 13.01 @ 111.11 on street tires with a 2.19 60'. On 14psi and out of injector it ran 13.32 @ 115.56 with a 2.29 60's spinning through first and second. Has scared the **** outta some people on the street. Thanks ZZP. Hoping for even faster traps with 65's and more boost. Still on the stock N/A trans as well.

    I purchased and installed this kit in the fall of 09. The install took a couple days and I also added a front mount at the same time. On my HV3/Rocker setup the car rips on 12psi and with the help of some 110VP gas it was scary at 15psi. No issues and I am still running the PCM that Turbo Tim sent me. Thanks again ZZP Tranny here I come.
