But, what fun would that be if no drama occured?
yeah but I don't want this drama to be a blown engine, you know what I mean

the tools are there.. but you see, I lack the most important part now! the 350Z itself
it's all in my dreams right now and as I stated before, I am in the decision analysis phase of buying the good car for me
I think it's good to know everything and plan before you go

but technically, the difference between a single and a twin is the extra turbine only?

well since you arent out to make a track star, i would go single that way you can have normal driving by have time to let the turbo spool a lil instead of bieng at mid-full boost already........

but it all depends on hp goals what you feel comfortable doing and having......and of course what you like..............if you looking to kill Z06s and SupraTTs or 911Turbos get the TT......if you just want to be fast and dont mind lag ST.......

Not really true.. I have no problem beating gt2 turbos or 04 zo6's or mostly any supercar besides the abovious ones. Alot of people under estimate the Single turbo alot... I have beat quite of few TT Z's at a local track here, A Single turbo Z on a Stock block compared to a TT Z on a stock block are practially the same performance wise, all depends on supporting mods also.

I have my eyes on the APS ST simply because I travel for about 10 mins or so to the train station everyday, so I want that lag.

No just make sure its installed and tuned right.

Thats pretty impressive for a ST kit 450/450. What times do you run. Ive wanted to ride in a ST Z to see how they perform.

for daily driving with a turbo, i think you have to make double sure you have a good tune because boost comes on just after 3k. If you've upgraded to a lighter clutch, that means you live at a higher rpm anyway in order to keep the car from stalling so you'd be driving around at close to peak boost power all day long. Probably not great on the engine even if part throttle.
