Looks like Brandon answer your question on the difference between tuner and regular version.

To order the cat version, just place this in the "comments" section of the website, and that you want the "my350z.com pricing special, and the $300 cat upgrade". I will take care of the rest, and add it to your invoice.

Thanks!

At this point, its impossible to say, since nobody has installed a single T APS kit here in the states.

If you look at the kits, they have been engineered in different ways.

First, the APS kit is about $1000 more expensive.

Second, the APS kit mounts the turbo down low, and not visible from the engine bay. Turbonetics chose to install theirs in the front of the engine bay, essentially where the factory airbox used to sit. APS maintains their design results in faster spool up, and more effecient turbo operation, among other benifits. The Turbonetics, from the dyno charts I've seen, seems pretty darn impressive in the midrange, and according to Mai, its generating 8psi of boost pressure in the mid 3000rpm range under heavy load.

Third, APS uses an Unichip for tuning. Turbonetics uses an ECU Reflash.

The APS single kit appears to be a very well engineered kit as well...as most of their products are. There are subtle differences between both kits.

Personally, I would have no reservations about installing either of these kits. It will be a month or so at least before the single T's arrive in the states, and the initial batch are all already presold to customers. So I would not expect to see inventory on the APS single kits until Aug or so.

You can also refer to Mia's other single T threads, as there are some lively debates about the FAB's of both kits. Good luck with your decision!

It's not a group buy. It's just special pricing.

That's a question I have as well. Is the Turbonetics ST available for the G35 Coupe?

The G35 kit is moving along. Brad's car is in the shop for it. The modifications to the kit were/are quick. There are some other added features that I'm sure that the G owners will appreciate that are being developed now...

You have to send in you ECU as each ECU is coded to a specific code stored on your actual key..

I'm not sure what you mean. You pull your ECU out of the car and ship to Turbonetics before you begin the hardware install. It is sent bac reflashed within 3 days.

there are a couple of ways as I understand it. if you buy a new ECU the security feature that is VIN # specific has not yet been written to therefore when you plug in a new ECU the on board computer writes code that enable the use of this new ECU. if the ECU has already been written it will not work without some major work. Technosquare can do this work but it involves opening up the ECU and making changes internally...not excaly sure what but from what was explained to me it's not an easy mod.

The Turbonetics kit is being sold with the reflash included in the price. All you need to do, is remove your ECU and send it to Turbonetics. They will reflash and send back you. 3 day total turnaround time.

The ECU travel is really a non-issue. The shipping materials/label are included (as is the cost of the reflash, which is done by and at Turbonetics), and per the install manual, one of the first things you do (after the A/C purge/recharge) is remove the ECU and get it on the road. Unless you really whiz through the install, the ECU will be back before you really need it.

You gotta give T-netics props, this is a well thought out procedure.
