Um someone needs to actually look at the threads in this forum. Chimmike is not one of those. Ok look here

If you guys know how to subtract I think you can figure this one out. It might be a little hard for some of you so I did it for you. A single turbo is 361.66 dollars cheaper than the ATI. For that money you can get 2 new filters and 2 oil changes and still have enough to buy some tampons.

ROFL! 
I got my vortech tuner kit for $3500
then got a return fuel system, bigger injectors and an EMS - none of which the turbonetics kit comes with and it was just a few hundred more than the turbonetics kit
by the time you pay for shipping the ECU over to turbonetics a few times to get a good A/F for your car, it's probably about even. Still, it won't run as safe as a car with an EMS, bigger injectors, and return fuel system

and you can do the same thing by purchasing the turbonetics tuner kit.........so, your point is?
how much is the turbonetics tuner kit? $4800? where's a link? point is, it's like $1200 cheaper, that's enough to buy a return fuel system and maybe some used injectors
Z1 has it for $4950. I'm sure there's a better price for it though. I thought the TN kit just went up in price because it USED to be like $4200(?), but now it's more

Umm... I'd also like to hear why superchargers are "less maintenance" than turbos.
From what I've seen, supercharger owners spend more time dicking around with squeaking/frayed/slipping belts than I spend on the turbo...

+1^ superchargers have to change there belts after a few years of use also have to be check self contain oil for some like the ati charger. roots style blower would be the only type of supercharger i would get or twin screw witch they do not make for Zs yet? if going with vortech or ati you may as well get the single turbo set up. unless yor talking about the HKS which is overly priced but it all in what you want in the end any way.
