I don't think they list it anywhere on their website yet. No idea, I imagine once the G35 kit is out they'll test fit a cat on each version (G35 and 350Z) and it will probably be 2-4 months after that. Heck, you could have your exhaust shop weld a cat on, just make sure it's 3" and if you are confident in your exhaust shop, do some measuring and cut the down-pipe and weld it in place (or you could make a flange on the cut pipe and i'm pretty sure the cat would come with flanges, then if you want to swap it out for a "test pipe" later it would be possible).

Yes the 5 AT crossover pipes are currently in production. The 5AT kit is complete, tested, and on the road now with the test car. 5AT kits will be ready to ship in a week or two according to Brad.

when they say that the TNetics kit outdoes all of the TT kits on the market are they just referring to the basic turbo output capability or is it just hype?

I think they mean at stock settings. The TT's are all tuned pretty conservatively out of the box. The only one I can think of that will surpass the turbonetics out of the box is the APS TT, but it takes some adjustment and tuning to do so.

Guys lets not turn this into a pissing match, or a which turbo kit is better. Ive seen APS dyno's under 400 rwhp on dynojets, some like you said in the 400-425 range as well. I have also been told of a turbonetics kit here in MD dynoing 390 whp with just exhaust, and seen them as low as 360whp. A turbonetics car with a base flash at 8 psi will dyno higher than a Greddy kit in its base state of tune meaning no timing retard, and running only 5.6 psi. Obviously to compare a Greddy or APS @ 8 psi vs a T-netics @ 8psi is pretty dumb we all now who would put down more power. But for a very affordable, nice power increase with potential, the T-netics for me was the way to go. I went with Turbonetics cuz for $5600 about the average price of a Greddy TT wiith no option timing control, pressure sensor, ect, I will have my kit on my car including guages, oil pan spacer, and not have to worry about tuning it-with more power poetential in the future if I decide to build a block.

I was not trying to cause an argument at all nor was I asking why anyone chose one kit over another, please do not read into my statement. I love the TNetics kit (it might just end up on my car too).
I am just trying to understand the statement that I keep seeing. Simple as that.

Ok, just thought you were implying a base tuned T-netics kit couldnt outperform a base TT kit. Only one I could think of was the Greddy, I wouldnt put my money on a Turbonetics kit to outperform any other TT kit out there, I would bet an APS kit would pretty much hand it its a$$ in regards to dyno numbers, but at the end of the day thats all that is is just a number

The Turbonetics kit produces more horespower and tq then then Greddy TT out of box, PE kit out of box, JWT kit out of box, etc. If you installed the kits on the same car AS THEY COME FROM THE COMPANY the only kit I have seen dyno as high or more then Turbonetics is APS. And alberto is right. I have seen dynos both ways on the Turbonetics and APS kits. However keep in mind that the Turbonetics kit does not require further tuning to get to its numbers and has been extremely reliable.

I live in Socal so yes I understand what you are saying. My car runs straight 91 all the time with no issues. As for CARB its being looked at but its not going to be soon. No turbo kit out there has a CARB cert right now.
