Wow, I don't even know what to say. This is the 2nd time in 2 weeks that we are selling parts that aren't supposed to be available yet. It looks like production is somehow getting ahead and stocking parts before shipping even knows what they are. This is the same charge tube that I am running on my car. There should be no issues with it at all, but we obviously need to have the product launched correctly so everyone knows the difference and customers get the parts they want. I will work on this more first thing in the morning to try to get you guys taken care of. If you want block-off plates, we could fab them up and you would have the option of installing a 50mm BOV in the future. Otherwise, we can replace the tubes with the right one.

I have been emailing back and forth with him.

I wish CTI would do this on the downpipe they sent about 6 of us so far that was complete and utter garbage. Props to ZZP for actually owning up to a mistake and taking care of it properly.

I actually emailed you guys and Tom told me that I should get one from your site. I got the 50mm one you guys sell for like 60 bucks or whatever it is. Would you be able to ship out the block off plates or whatever it is when you ship out the BOV for me? If not I'll just hook everything up and run it until with the BPV still in place until you guys can get one out for me.

Customer service sells products...which is why ZZP is my vendor of choice.

If you (or anyone) wants to drop one off, we will gladly get it done and discount the first kit. It shouldn't be too much trouble getting it all working right since the ECMs operate the same.
The bpv blocks a passage within the turbo's compressor housing. We just block it so it can't open.
Nah not a problem. Yeah if you could just send the block off plates with it that would be great and I will run the BOV. You guys are the greatest! If possible could you send some brief instructions for putting on the block off plates that would be great because I am a BOV n00b. Is it just one block off plate or is there 2? One for the bpv and one for whatever it connects to? Sorry for the n00bness.

I will definitely be in touch. I can also do the tuning if required. Would I be able to provide the turbo to use?

We would like to stick with our current Borg Warner turbo line since we would need to fixture the kit for future sales. We could use your turbo, but then we couldn't offer the same discounts on the install.

Yeah mine came with the flange too, and now I have to order a BOV
I think I might go with zzp's copy of the Tial and save 150 bucks or so
How do I get the block off plate for the original BPV

Not at all, that speaks nothing of what your tune looks like. Just your red line. Mines @ 7100, but that isn't what makes a tune aggressive. You can calm down. If you were offended by the band-aid comment, my apologies. As Sandman has stated, in an aggressive tune, NLs isn't worth it.
Not that I run 30 anymore or have that low of a rev limit lol. Just an example.
And I NLS at the track everytime as well as many other people I have tuned. Only person to have an issue thus far has been BBG, but he also drop kicks the car into gear
LMAO... (Just FYI: 25psi, 7200 Rev in 1st and 2nd, 7K in 3rd and I NLS all but 1-2.)On the BOV thing:
You don't have to worry about rich spikes or anything like a typical factory turbo car. This car commands fuel to be cutoff after any sort of light load/boost when the throttle is released.

ZZP 50mm...Tial is too expensive. Maybe if I was initially planning on going with a BOV setup I would have gone with a true Tial...but since a BOV setup was kind of an accident I decided not to spend the extra dough and see how I like the extra noise before I go and drop some big bucks.

Where your rev limit is has very little to do with how aggressive the car is tuned... That's an interesting comment. So my car at 30psi with 6500 rev limit and your car at 22psi with 7200 rev limit, which would you say is more aggressive??

OK fantastic! Only thing is...I was on your site and checked the status of my BOV and it already shipped and has a set delivery date of today! You guys are too fast! I ordered that thing at almost 4'oclock yesterday so I wasn't expecting it to even ship out until today! Looks like I'll have to wait for the Block off plate to get here separately then haha!
