Default track time on your turbo

I am considering going turbo for my hr. I use my car primarily as a track car and would appreciate any help people who track their car can give me. What turbo did you go with and did you change any internals and how many track hours have you put on with what success?

What kind of track?

EDIT: Found a pic of your car on a real track.


A few questions:

Are there many turbo kits for the HR?

Is power what's holding you up?

What does "primarily" a track car mean?

I'm not making any assumptions on your quest for power or questions overall, however, this post may be relevant to your inquiry: http://my350z.com/forum/autocross-ro...-question.html

^i think he's asking about how a tt'd hr would hold up under track abuse rather than asking "what kinda powerband he needs"

afaik, tt kits for the hr are:
GTM
AAM
Greddy
JWT has been promising one for over a year now
