What would the T66 do, and what would it cost?

I would need to ask Brad about the cost of doing that as well as how they would do the setup for you..I'll try to get a hold of him today and see what he says..

MIA did you say they are working on a drop in fuel injector upgrade?

Also for those of you who do want to use a lower boost setting, I would just suggest ordering a weaker spring for the wastegate (which you can). Then I think if you want to use a Technosquare flash then you need to give them a A/F reading for them to use or get a piggy back management like the Emanage Ultimate then get tunned...

So I say get the Tuner Kit Version (cheaper tech, but you will still need to get injectors and fuel pump to still be safe with the fuel), lower strength spring for the wastegate, and either a flash or other means for managment

Hmmm... I might just buy the injectors cause by then I shouldn't need a flash


But once again another option, other kits don't offer so many choices

What do you guys think about a GT35/40R or GT40R with the T4 mounting flange. I have a single 60-1 at 16.5psi in my built 3.5L in my Maxima and she is running out of steam.

What size is your downpipe? Just curious....a T70 should get you some significant head room to work with...

No they don't do intalls at their shop. With all the fabrication and production going on there, there just isn't any room. You should come check out the Open House they are having on Sept 24.

3" downpipe, full 3" exhaust.

I have 740cc injectors so I'm good for fuel to ~700hp.

It is not available for the 5AT.

The crossover pipe does not exist yet. I had to have one custom fabricated.
The transmission cooler lines (metal) have to be cut and longer hoses used to clear the pipe that goes down across the front of the engine.

You will needs lots of extra heat protective material for the transmission cooler lines and your O2 sensor wiring. They won't fit in the down pipe due to clearance issues with the 5AT housing.

I got the kit with the cat so I had to lengthen the wiring to the O2 sensors which go into the Cat on either side if the drive shaft.

Be sure and add extra heat protection to both AC hoses as well. What Turbonetics provides is not enough IMHO.

Yes, this kit was designed with the stock exhaust in place.

Injectors are drop in. Pump is drop in, but the regulator requires minor modification.

oil pan is stock, no need to replace it. The oil line taps into the side of the upper pan, though you could tap a pan spacer if you wanted to.
