My New Favorite Turbo Kit *Powerlab*

hey guys,

sorry we have been sooo busy lately, havent had time to post. Busy with two cars running nopi and formula d, its hard to keep up. Even our website is down for 5 days now cause of the domain name expiring. we did get a chance to do a Powerlab GT35R kit last week that definitely surprised me. this kit is very well thought out, very well organized, fit perfectly and included everything possible you could think of.

full boost to 8.5 psi at 2700 rpms is a really great part about it too. the car we did was a customers wifes car, a blue convertible 350z that she wanted to go a little bit faster. this 5AT car made a very smooth to drive 380 rwhp. that would easily translate to 400 plus on a 6 speed. the intake air temps never got high and the car was a blast to tune.

i honestly cant wait to install another kit. garrett turbos, tial wastegate and blow off valve, all chrome piping and polished piping, a utec and deatschwerks injectors, what a perfect combo.

good job guys on making such a perfect all around kit...!!











Of course the bump in the graph is the tq converter locking up

wow, you actually have a big deatchwerks banner there lol. Very nice numbers for a 5at and glad you finally got a chance to try the PL turbo kit. What exhause is she running, nismo? There could be some more room for more power there with a different exhaust.
Hope you get to do a PL again soon on another customer with a build engine and of course track it.


Also, BTW is she getting new wheels?
