Congrats, but why does this bolt-on install deserve it's own thread in the Shop Build section?
There is nothing new or unique about this install based on what you posted. Stock block 400whp Greddy TT installs are nothing new or rare to this community and therefore this thread looks like nothing more than advertising fluff.

^^^ That sends the wrong message RudeG. There are no criteria that state that every new thread posted has to be ground breaking. Should we also mandate that every post by every member needs to include ground breaking revelations? jeez - we'd have a forum with maybe 20 posts.
This is a community and that means all comers, with big and small builds, should be welcomed. This thread is a nice courtesy provided by Forged to introduce William to the FI community.
On that note, William, congrats on entering the world of FI. Look forward to meeting you at ZdayZ. (Forged, nice job, as usual).

LOL I expected no different from you or anyone else with Forged in their sig. This thread belongs in the regular FI section. As I pointed out, that is a bolt-on install; not a build. I do not agree that every car merits or deserves it's own thread in the Shop Build section.
Congrats William. Looks like Forged did a nice clean install. Enjoy!

raj is right that it doesnt have to be ground breaking, but it probably should be in regular fi section since this was already VERY average bolt-on build 3 years ago. Congrats to the owner of the G either way, always fun to go Fi for 1st time, def get at least springs soon(coilovers would be ideal).

Eric, I think your critique is a little off base. Prior to the "Shop Builds" section, the main forced induction forum was loaded with build/install threads. The decision was made to have a seperate section for shop builds so that the main FI section could be used for content. There was no criteria for the build section, as long as it had forced induction on the car. Every shop posts their builds/installs, in here...big or small. These days, just about everything may be ordinary to some member, but it's unique and special to the customer.
If Decker posted this in the regular FI section, it would have immediately been moved by a mod to the shop build section.
Its been moved to its proper section - ONLY cause its a finished product.. Shop builds IMO should include the actual build..not a "its finished" heres what I got or what we did..I will confirm..
yah but for the rims and(what seems to be the right size) tires, i would have recomended a bit more strongly to the owner about a drop...jsut saying...it does look off. Who knows...after he reads this thread he might "fix" that by this weekend.

Nice G35 OP..
SO if we go with your opinion....that means that all GTM, SFR, FP and SP threads will be moved......because most if not all of them post the finished product.
Like you said...you need to check into that.....because I do not agree

If a shop removes a engine to install a TT kit (as i think forged still does) then one would think it's more of shop build then a bolt on afair. Bolt on means any Joe Schmo with a garage and tool chest can install said bolt ons.. In this community that clearly is not the case.
I dont care where you put it.....I am just saying that your statement "Shop builds IMO should include the actual build..not a "its finished" heres what I got or what we did "....means that all the shop threads will have to be moved....your reasoning is way off...
Some shops post what project they have started.....like I have...and some post builds that they have completed.....its that simple

Dude(XKR) really who cares.. I see your a little anal retentive about things that dont even make a difference. Nice build looks good and +1 on the drop the stance on the car looks off being so high up.

That's why we spend good money on this site to become vendors, to either GET our name out there, or KEEP our name out there. Sure, this build is pretty standard, but I see no reason why it should not be shared.
Forged Performance - G35 TT Build Finished!
