I think the confusion started when I called technosquare and told them I needed my ecu reflashed for the kit. Doing business in the past with them they thought I wanted a custom tune as in the past.
Important facts:1: If you have an 04 roadster 6spd your ecu will depict 21, new tuning software just in for this ecu, turn around time maybe longer.
2:Turbonetics reflash does not include raising the rpm limit to 7,100 or changing throddle from 80% to 100%.
These are important tuning changes in my opinion if installing the turbo....JMHO

You should already received our ecu and it is indeed for a 04' roadster. I wrote that on the sticky pad on the ecu. Please make sure it receives the correct tune. Thanks.

Too bad the rev limit isn't increased though, I can see under boost bouncing off the limiter pretty easy.
Turbonetics, My congrats on a quality well thought out turbo kit, my staff is installing it as I write this. I will let everyone know how the install goes. Look forward to putting the car on our dyno tomorrow and see what #'s we put down at safe boost and A/F. As well, we have a 350Z/G35 show on Sunday and an editor from 350Z magazine will be there to photo and get our impression.

OEM rev limit is set at 6,400 not 6,800...see you want more already.......

It uses the stock headers...so as long as they aren't long tubes and don't stick out too much to hit the turbo piping. Victor @ Alphawerks is going to test some soon.

well, I have a 5AT G35 coupe and I think the increased rev limiter is needed as mentioned with ALL F/I kits on AT's because of the increased chance of overshooting the rev limiter when in Auto mode... and since you're tinkering with the ECU already, if I asked you to raise the rev limiter, could you?
