NEED good so.cal shop to install turbo
I'm really leaning towards the Greddy TT kit but no one wants to raise it past stock boost on stock internals....i know there's plenty of guys out there running ~8 lbs on stock internals w/ no problems. I asked 4myride in ontario and street image and both said anything past 5.6 they won't be able to warranty and more than likely will blow my engine....My goal is to be close to ~400rwhp with the greddy kit + my crawford plenum + hf cats+ exhaust...
I'm to the point where I just don't wanna go TT or single at all...
If nobody wants to do the greddy I'm still open to the turbonetics kit that hasn't come out yet....anyways, can someone give me some shops around here in so cal that WILL warranty a greddy kit at 8 lbs or so? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Anthony

Pushing the greddy kit to 8psi on the stock motor can be done, but the shop needs to be very confident and experienced tuning these cars with the emanage blue. If anything, you might look at the Technosquare ECU reflash for the greddy kit that has been proven relatively safe on the stock motor.
As far as the Turbonetics ST kit... It's been out for a good 4-6 months now. Try searching on the forums for the huge amounts of information available on it.

Hey Art, Street Image is a great shop for the install. You can always have it installed at one location, and then tuned elsewhere.
Another couple places to check are GT Motorsports in Rancho Cucamonga, and SP Engineering. All do quality work.
I lived in Los Angeles for over a decade, in case you were wondering how a dude in Charlotte NC would know this.

Thanks fellas....sorry for the confusion but i have a G35C not a 350...Do you guys think it would just be smarter to wait it out a few more months and get the rods and pistons and up the boost? Or do you think the kit + the technosquare flash on stock internals is safe enough? Also with the flash what else would I need other than a SS fuel return, fuel pump(s)?, and obviously a Boost controller?

when you say bottom end you mean the rods and pistons correct? I might just save up for a few more months and do that if that's the case. I know I could run more than 8 lbs if i do rods/pistons anyways.
Thanks
Thanks

Taurran how do you like the Turbonetics kit? I think ultimately that would be a lot cheaper route considering I wouldn't have to buy much more for the kit to work fine...With the TN kit, plenum, and a custom exhaust do you think I'll be in the high 300's to the wheels? And more importantly, will my engine be safe at the stock boost (8 lbs) and stock internals?
Thanks
Thanks

Brainstorm is by far the best place I've seen....however I'm not sure if they do Greddy's since they are an APS shop....which btw is set at 8 psi and gets you over 400whp easy...with no blown motors so far...which in my opionion is the closest to a Warranty you can get on FI and if you don't tune it yourself it makes even more sense to go APS
Stay away from XS Engineering they ripped off two of my friends and their products keep on breaking. In addition they lied to me several times. I hate that place

Goto brainstorm.. you'll pay a premium but they will get the job done right. Great group of guys there. If you call them, talk to Chris, tell him Pete w/ the G35 sent you. They are way up in LA, but this is your car we're talking about here. Don't skimp ESPECIALLY w/ that kit.

APS is an excellent kit, and I wouldn't go another route. I have 16 thousand miles on my Turbo kit and 44k total, and I beat the **** out of it all the time. ALL THE TIME. I run 8.5 psi and when its cold out I get as high as 11psi. Fortunately no problems.
I would say build it if you got the money and don't want any downtime. Otherwise install it and run it til your motor goes or you decide you want more.
I've heard the Turbonetics is a good kit, I haven't seen anyone with one around here just the APS and Greddy. I would avoid the Greddy if I were you. Just go the proven route.

I coudln't be happier with the kit. The only thing I would change is I would have never messed with the aftermarket headers with it. Install it with the stock manifolds and it should perform flawlessly.

Had my work done at GT Motorsports. Quaility work, great customer service and minimal downtime.

One more point:
Since you are in California, the APS kit will receive CARB EO (hopefully before the year is up) the Turbonetics won't because it's a single turbo and the Greddy...well, I guess they put in some paperwork so they might get there as well eventually...
Bottomline if in Cali and you're not a tuner: APS TT installed at Brainstorm...
