LOL, welcome to my350z.com


In all seriousness though, it all depends on what you're looking for, all these turbo kits have something good and not so good to offer and there are lots of other factors like correct tires and so forth to take into consideration.

Daily driver/weekend racer vs 100% drag car and so forth
You being a tuner vs having a shop tune and you want to just run it
possibility of getting a CARB Exempt vs you don't car about that

if you ask your question more specifically on your goal you get better answers.

let me give you my scenario maybe that will help a bit:

I want a reliable daily driver that I can take to the track once or twice a week. I am also not a tuner so I don't care about being able to do it myself, I take it to a reliable shop. In addition I live in Cali and want a kit that has the potential to get a CARB cert...

now here's what I chose:

APS TT:
great daily driver
great track performance
reliable
great shop/tuning support via Brainstorm in LA
Twin Turbo has a chance to get CARB, Single turbo never will
When at the track I change my rear wheels to MT ET Street Slicks or BFG Drag Radials depending on the competition I'm in.

I hope this helps a bit more

Either way you go, you will have to build up your motor if you want to have any chance against Mustangs and Supras...

What is this Injected Performance Single Turbo that you speak of??

I would go with a turbonetics kit tuner, except get the t66, get a U-tec, 650cc, fuel return, and built motor. Its easier to control a ST setup on the track rather than a tt.

Or you could wait a few months and get the stage 2 kit for much less $$$.

True but UNICHIP SUCKS.... its point less.... Utec, RC injectors, and a ams stage 2 fuel system much better than stock stage two from TN.

If it is the Unichip, it won't be the same one that comes with the APS kits. You can still achieve the same power goals with it, the only thing that will differ will be the method of tuning.

Anyway, what makes you think your local tuner knows more than Turbonetics? Have you seen some of the insane cars built there? I trust they know what they are doing.

Thats whats included in the stage two kit, the parts I listed are the best in their field due to alot of postive feedback from all types of vendors and power gains.

Please explain as this makes absolutely no sense at all, not matter what track you are talking about. If you plan on telling me that TT setups have too much torque at low rpms because they spool quickly, don't bother. That's a very poor argument. If you have another reason I'd love to hear it.

I will say this, a twin turbo setup is easier to control because of the more linear powerband. You don't have boost suddenly coming on like you do in a single turbo setup.

Thats my point exactly, launching at 3500for me is perfect, I make excellent torque and power there and I dont hit full boost till 4000ish so gives me room to unload in a different gear and less spin at launch. If you look at my dynos my power is VERY linear.

First of all...I said don't bother telling me that TT setups make too much power down low. You obviously didn't read.

Second, your post makes nearly no sense at all. Especially the part about "unloading" in a different gear, and bogging launches isn't really that fantastic for your 1/4 mile time.

If really truly think that a single turbo car is "easier" to launch then a twin turbo varient of the same vehicle, you don't know what you're talking about.

So I'm assuming you can pull better than a 1.7 60' on DOT legal tires eh?

Go to the track and come back with a slip that is within 3 tenths and 3 mph of mine and then you can START to talk $hit. I run at the track on my street setup, so the time you see in my sig is how my car runs on the street.

HAha since you are so confident, please come down, no offense but I pulled a 1.7 NA with street tires thats no big deal, you can launch good. Im not talkin **** at all i am just inviting you to come up here. Everything about my car is street so you dont have to worry. Your time is nice but your trap is what is really good. I just thought it would be fun.

1.7 N/A with street tires....um...BULL$HIT. Unless you consider ET Street slicks "street tires".

Milan is a little far...I was there a couple years ago and it's about a 5 hour drive for me. US-131 just north of Kalamazoo would be much more of a equal trip for both of us...and it's a really nice track. I'd be willing to meet up there.

I can be confident because I actually have a TIMESLIP which shows what I can do in my car....
