about to take the turbonetics st plunge

if the kit is safe up to mid 400whp, i'll run the damn thing there. the hp has a nice linear pedal with which i can deliver it with, so as long as the hp is reliable, you can never have too much. ( too much is when the hp level requires too many comprimises such as weight, laggy spool, shitty throttle response, breaking parts, ect )
THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST INTERNET RESPONSE I'VE EVER GOTTEN TO PARTS, SO I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE WHO IS POSTING HERE. THANKS!!!!
oh, and i already have the nismo diff, that was the very first mod to the car. other than that, i kept the car stock until recently when i got tierods. i only purchased the 350 because my drift car for last season was a piece of junk super charged m3 that fell apart all the time. it held back the learning process terribly and was a huge waste of time.

i'm starting to feel like i should just toss in a built motor as well as the price shoots up, just like any stupid turbo project. i would be pretty happy if this motor would hold together until next season, then i would toss in a built motor. i suppose i will call the forged internals place monday. thanks again.

sharif talked me back into the greddy kit. said it would create more low end torque, yada yada. so much personal choice lol. thats the way i'm leaning again. if i hate the turbos that much, i can swap different ones in after awhile, depending on the flanges on the manifolds. i haven't bothered to look at what they are yet. but that would be quite the waste of money to swap them out.

Edit: If weight really is a concern you would be purchasing one of the heavier kits on the market. Cast manifolds, twice the piping, huge intercooler, 18gs, etc. Not to mention you are still going to need to get a fuel pump, fuel return system, and something better then the emanage blue to tune it so its going to cost more.

YOU told me to talk to sharif, i'm just going on his recommendations here lol. i'm kinda on the fence about it. the weight of the turbos in the greddy kit will be low and towards the center of the car, where the turbonetics will be high and in the front. i'm still on the ropes.

BTW the setup I recommended originally is quite possibly the most cost effective way to accomplish your goals. Going with the Turbonetics Tuner kit and the listed mods gives you the most bang for the buck you are going to get period. For the total cost you would spend on what I give you nothing much else can give you the performance you would get with the bullet proof reliability you would need.
