NO IT ISN'T.

Plus our internals are actually just Lincoln Logs.

Bulletproof Automotive has the Blitz kit in stock...

so tempting, but there are fitment issues, plus you're on your own for management.

i would rock it, but i wonder how long its going to take to get into production, its not like rotrex is nst. people didnt really buy the zpi turbo kit cuz of the companys reputation, but i think more people would buy the rotrex if it doesnt have fitament issues and just bolts right up with little or no modification at all

That's called a Stage 0 -- an excellent idea for our cars.

guys, I/we want this tuff... make it....

in a couple years these cars will be cheap, and the tuner crowd can then buy them, and add on $3000 s/c... heck people buy shit box used hondas, and spend thousands on engine upgrades....

I seriously considered zpi turbo, but after all the problems i had with trying to get either my exhaust or my money back i would strongly discourage business with them

yeah zpi is gone...

i know a lot of people here bought the yaris because it was cheap and are not planing on putting any kind of performance parts on, but theres a growing number of people that like the looks of the yaris but want more power.

i myself am hoping to finish my turbo kit by the end of the month. i need extra power, not an insane amount of power but another 60-70horses at the crank will do. i think the engine/trans can withstand that extra amount with no issues.

the more people interested in a product the better.

Considering that there are 3 members out of 3000+ that have a turbo or s/c kit I say that this kit will be a sales disapointment to company making it.
True.... but I'm one of the 3...
