D350Z10 I have asked for a dyno of your car putting down 450RWHP @9.5 PSI on the TN kit a few times now and you have never replied. I don't understand how you put about 40 more RWHP than everyone else. Sorry to post this in this thread.

To simply this for you:
The turbonetics and the greddy kit both need additional mods to make the 450-500whp you are looking for. Forget about price, becuase in the end, they are going to be within $1000 of each other, and its not even worth debating the various merits or completeness of the kits.
If you are looking for a 600-750whp monster down the road, save yourself the headache and get the Greddy. If you are certain you will be happy with 400-500whp, then get the TN.
Both have very impressive trw and power profiles.

I would be happy with a 400whp stock block right now but I too will want a 600 to 700whp monster later so twin is definitely what I want.
I want to ask this though, why the greddy over the APS or Power Enterprise?
They are all about the same price.

I was contemplating between these same 2 kits and I based my decision solely on safety.
Out of the box they are both very close in performance. You said you didn't care about price so who cares what you need to add to each kit.
I picked the TN because I didn't want to lose the front brace for the intercooler on the GReddy. I know some people have made it work by altering or fabricating a new one but I didn't want to go that route either.
Take your time and consider all your options and the opinions you get here.
Good luck!

This type of question is exactly why I wrote the turbo article in fall 2005 issue of Sports Z Magazine. Some people were upset that the 3 testers in the article did not pick a clear winner. The fact is that it is not that simple or clear cut. We tested 6 turbo kits and which one is right for you depends on your short term and long-term goals and budget.
I suggest you read the article closely and really look and the pros mentioned for each kit. Good luck with your decision.

You could also upgrade to Stage II later with Turbonetics which will include everything needed to make 700 RWHP for cheap with the Turboetics upgrade path...

first off thanks for all the replies..
So d350z10 says the turbonetics kits around "$7500 because u need bigger injectors, Utec w/map sensor and fuel return"
But according to most shops its around $5900 and it comes with everyting needed for install. So where is that extra 1500 coming from???.. also he mentioned something about a TN tuner kit.. whats different about that than the normal TN kit???
p.s. I wanna get around 500rwhp and later on achieve 700rwhp.. But thats a far off goal i wanna do it slowly. What is this turbo kit capable of with a built motor??

7500 For the complete kit so you can make big power on a stock block and be safe..... those are all of the parts needed to hold that power... ex... the reflash wont work well with eftermarket exhuast... a/f will be off the charts and you will have problems. the tn kit out of the box is good when the entire car is STOCK then it is perfect. Ask Sharif he will give you all of the details.
to make 700 hp get the T66 turbo... instead of the 60-1 that comes with the kit.

Like everyone is saying you want to have a big power house over 600rwhp then choose greddy if you want some extra power then choose Turbonetics.
And about daily driver you just have to keep an i on everything get it tuned right and drive it normal you wont go into boost at all unless you hit it hard.
I have the greddy and when i drive it i dont start going into boost until the pedal is half way down.

THe APS people in the 650whp range are all near 20psi of boost, vs. 16psi of boost on the Greddy kit for similar power levels. I can only speculate, but for the really high 700-750whp range, the Greddy kit might be better suited for your needs. The APS kit does allow you to keep your stock bumper brace, however.
Thanks Greddy it is!!!!!!!!!
