ZZP Turbo Kit Question
What does everyone think of the ZZP Stage 1 turbo kit? Would it be ok to run it on a stock motor or would it be unsafe? And does anyone have the kit?

See thats what i was thinking. It gives you the basic setup with out the need to change out internals right away and there is plenty of room to grow power wise plus it is a very good price.

Never did I say it couldn't be done, just saying that in today's age technology has come too far to not take advantage of it and at least installing some kind of cheap intercooling system.

I actually am a little more educated in the subject then most on this board (not bragging, but you brought it up). Just saying obviously he/she will be installing this on their daily driver, and for that reason (traffic, stop lights, long trips, etc.) the motor runs a much higher risk of something overheating due to the combination of engine and turbo heat with no cooling for the turbo itself.

you seem to contradict yourself. your first paragraph refers to cooling the turbo itself, and your second paragraph and first post refer to cooling the intake charge. which are you concerned with? and regardless, non intercooled setups are fine for low boost applications, and always have been... you should do some more reading...
Again, my argument is not that it is impossible to not run an intercooler, or that your car will blow up if you try. Just saying for the price, the performance gains and protection on your powertrain will be worth the extra dough.

Is a book gonna run the car down the track for me too? What someone says in a book or magazine means nothing. Fact of the matter is run an intercooled car through the same stress and speed tests as an identical non-intercooled car and you will see a HUGE difference in wear and performance between the two. For the price difference of having one and not it doesnt make sense to run a car without one.

u will see a performance gain from low boost intercooled setups versus low boost non-intercooled setups...no one said you wouldnt. However, wear of the parts really wont vay much between the two. Its when you get to medium/high boost levels that it can wear your engine out sooner. My point is that no, it is not stupid to have a non-intercooled setup on your car if it is a low boost application, which you seemed to disagree with. It wont make quite the sam power numbers, but it wont cost quite as much either, which is the issue at hand
Regardless, yo
