Ok sorry for my ignorance, but what is it? Is it some sort of twin turbo set up?

I really have to ask WHY did they place the air cleaners under the hood presumably so close the the turbos? (Which I can't see from the photo)

Yeah, I think the air intake should be down by the inter cooler to grab the cold air. I like the TT though!!!

Don't you belong under a bridge somewhere waiting to scare children? Not cool.

Cheston- Glad to see it's progressing. What kind of boost are you guys currently pushing?

So is this the US version of a Japanese aftermarket tuner or Nissan factory?

Would love more info, but I think Cheston did this on purpose, lol. Guess I just wonder if he is saying that Nismo will offer it, or will Nissan be introducing a 350TT. Or is this just the first aftermarket TT offering. Oh well, guess Cheston enjoys toying with our emotions.

It's not Nismo. I know who it is but not sure if Cheston wants that announced just yet.

Actually Cheston is the sneaky one . I just happened to be at the right place at the right time and saw the complete kit before it was mounted. All I can say is

This is an aftermarket twin turbo kit, which the production version will come with varying boost stages in which the end user may choose from stock bolt on to "unbelieveable" as quoted from the technician that drove the J-spec version in which boost kicked in at 2500, nearly instantaneous acceleration with little lag.

This will be produced from a very respectable Japanese tuner for the US market. If you know anything about turbos, then i dont have to explain what you can see clearly from the image i posted.

Its being prototyped with love and care you expect from a respectable tuner company, right here in so cal in conjunction with engineers from japan. The piping and placement of the components will be the most efficient for US spec Zs and no cutting of the fender or drastic modifications will be necessary.

Love it or hate it, thats your choice....final pricing has not yet been determined.... no point in comparing this TT kit to a turbo kit for a honda....

Just another option for us Z fanatics.
