My labor is free. I just need to see which pipe it is(there are two very close to the exhaust. then I'm going to install a 12" or 24" compression fitting to rubber hose line fix in it's place to get it away form the exhaust.
The original TN kit came with a new line which costs $170+ship. THis line will cost me less than $60 and I have a 20lb cylinder of r134a in my garage anyways

Main point is to avoid AC line contact with the up pipe / DP.
IMHO AC line absolutely must to be long enough to avoid any Hot pipe contact.
Then the main issue becomes primarily a reflective concern if the line is long engough and prperly routed and tied away.
Been using a reflective sleeve on my MTM setup a few years now, no signs of any degradation.

Got a new job paying double what I made plus overtime and now have the money for the turbonetics/godspeed kit I posted awhile back. How many miles have you had yours on the car? Sorry for the confusing grammar been up for 48+ hrs at hospital😕 plan on doing the install myself and help from my friend.

Took turbo out. Rubber hose a/c running along side framerail burned through. Cut, got pex connectors and replaced with a longer 300psi air line. Filled up and a/c works fine, but line expanded.
Ordered correct a/c line to withstand pressure. Have to wait for it to come in to replace.
Also switching spring from 5psi to 6
20% more boost GODSPEED FTW!! I estimate around 330whp?? With open dump exhuast. Going off other TN builds with roughly 17hp per psi
Turbo shaft is still tight.

Thats my worry my z is my daily and i put down quite a few miles. So basically what Im thinking the kit im looking at is the cheap godspeed intercooler setup and misc. parts and then more quality turbo, wastegate, and upgraded Bov. Running 7 or 8 psi should be a good place to start. My biggest worry is all the parts not lining up correctly honestly. Or mani or piping cracking but that could always be replaced pretty easily. Still heartset on this kit for a starting platform.

If you're going to buy a godspeed kit and replace everything but the piping then you might as well buy a used kit or a used S/C because you're going to end up spending the same amount. The godspeed turbo I received was actually balanced, which when I installed thought it was not.
The only thing I replaced was the wastegate since the godspeed wastegate can not use the standard 38mm tial springs and the Emusa can

The godspeed kit is 1800. The turbonetics kit is 5000. The godspeed/turbonetics kit on eBay is 2400. It comes with everything the godspeed kit does except the turbo,bov and wastegate are authentic urbonetics parts. So basically id be paying 2500 less for the godspeed intercooler setup.

Turbo= $2400
Injectors= $400
Fuel Pump= $100
Utec= $700 or cheaper if used.
Dyno tuning= $500
Quality time fabricating the kit to work= Priceless
around 4000 total... and it should be a solid start.
So close to ordering the kit, still doing lots more researching though haha
