Any thoughts on this exhaust with the TN setup?

I had a long talk today with Rob/miaplaya to get some further knowledge about the ecu reflash, utec, other stages etc..
This is wat i have decided to do..
Going turbonetics stage 1 (will work fine w/my current mods)
Will eventually build my engine than do stage 2h turbonetics when it become available..
p.s. i called intense motorsports regarding that price i saw above of $4700 but he said pricing went up and its now $5400.. so i obviously wont be going through them

I don't buy Greddy products. In my opinion they rush kits to market to get the edge on everyone else, but don't spend the time to do proper engineering and testing. They also lower there price by not including everything you need with the kit. So it appears as though it costs less, but you end up spending just as much in the long run, or else risk damaging components. And from personal experience, they don't stand behind their work.
Turbonetics, on the other hand, is a great company with great, and complete products.

Hello,
It's not that the pricing for Turbonetics has gone up, it's that starting this year Turbonetics is enforcing MAP pricing (minimum advertised pricing). We have always adhered to their MAP pricing, while almost every other dealer has not. Turbonetics had never enforced their MAP pricing until this year, and it will be interesting to see if they do now. Basically, there were vendors that were fighting over making $50.00 on a $6k turbo kit.....

The only Greddy product that was incomplete was the 350Z kit. I agree it was rushed, but its price reflects the fact that a few extras are needed to make it safe. If you look at the Honda Greddy kits, they are nicely configured, for instance.
The 350Z set a whole new standard for bolt-ons, due to the complexity of the ECU, and the tight confines of the engine bay. They were the first to market with a turbo kit, and unfortuantely, many people learned the hard way that the basic kit is less than safe. But these days, nearly everyone knows how to make the kits safe, and we dont even sell the kits without informing customers of all of the items needed for safe operation.
I do agree that Greddy CS is lacking, but that is where the good dealers step in to provide the service. We help anyone that calls, even if they havent bought their kit from us. Even overseas shops call us for advise...its all good.
IMHO, its a terrific "tuner twin" package.

twin turbo works the same as N/A as you run of the exhuast manifold to the test pipes/ cats then to the ypip or if you have TD it runs all the way back
single is diff cause you only use one turbo, one test pip/cat, usually a single exhuast , or a custom fab revo t-pipe for a TD

Sharif - are you saying that even if the kit runs at the Greddy recommended 5.6 psi... the kit is still unsafe?

Turbonetics.. Comes with everything you need in the package (prob going to be 1500 less after labor and all the missing parts in the Greddy)
The power delivery is different.. But I think it's a better mix out of the 2
