Default 06Z w/ basics done, want to twin turbo, suggestions?

I have an '06 Z with upgraded headers, cold air, catback exhaust and a ecu flash chip. I am planning on putting in a twin turbo. Any suggestions? Type? Stage? other mods?

You might want to get your flame suit on....your going to be told to search forum. but before it begins......

If your going with twins, you can sell you cold air intake, and your headers. Depending on what exhaust system you have, you may want to get something better flowing. Personally I would get either the GTM TT kit (stage 2 or 3)or APS TT kit. You will prolly have every other forum member giving their favorites as well. You going to need some type of emu. (Fcon Vpro or Haltec are the only way to go IMO). Your going to want a clutch/flywheel upgrade, a full fuel return system. Depending on what power level you are going for your going to need to build your motor, which will bring about a whole nother list of mods. How is your car going to be driven? If your going to track the car, your going to need an oil cooler, trans cooler, ect. MOST IMPORTANTLY!!! MAKE SURE YOU TAKE IT TO A PROFESSIONAL FOR TUNING(Forged, GTM, Injected, ect) and IT GET INSTALLED PROPERLY!!

There are way to many variables and it all depends on you.

Ok thanks for the suggestions, I am getting everything done professionally at Altered Atmosphere Motorists in Maryland. They did everything else to the car and they specialize in Zs.

Clutch, flywheel, radiator, Wideband O2, oil cooler, and a few other things before your ready. BTW your headers will be useless, same as your cold air. Oh ya you also could use a plenum spacer.

I also suggest you buy a TT kit when your ready.

Type DUX, Stage 37

Unlock your ECU to read 100psi with this code: Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, b, a select, start

Oh ....and the driver mod
