we have successfully installed the turbonetics single turbo on quite a few 350's and G35's with no issues using the stock trans.
We have also worked with Folsom Lake Nissan to build their 2006 A/T 350 using the GReddy Twin turbo with only an upgraded valve body.

Hope that helps

No problems at all. Definately consider a good valve body upgrade, and you will be very happy with the results.

We are now doing valve body upgrades for $799 plus freight. Chirps in 2nd and 3rd gears!

Like other shops, we send them out to an experience tranny expert. There are few people I would trust with a VB upgrade, but this person is a meticulous expert, and the results are outstanding. I can guarantee the performance and results will be identical to, or better than the other QUALITY VB upgrades out there. This isnt some crappy Stillen VB upgrade. http://www.forgedinternals.com/store...cat=261&page=1

Booger dont feel bad. Our price is $799, but we decided to charge shipping seperately, since customers have different time lines, and rush schedules that we sometimes have to meet. We decided to go $799, and charge actual shipping, based on how quickly a customer needs it shipped around. Turnaround time is just 1 week, plus a few days for shipping.

I have a buddy who put a JWT TT on his 5AT with no problems so far, but its de-tuned to around 350whp until he gets his VB upgrade. Going with the Stillen Stage 3 on my 5AT G35 in a few weeks as well.

Without getting into specifics, they are identical, for all practical purposes.

As for a video, Bailyrx just recieved his, and he's installing a Greddy TT kit at the same time. When he is done, I will ask him to post a video.

No trq converters yet. According to my tranny expert, he feels comfortable pushing the stock tranny to 500 whp easily with just the VB upgrade.

^^^ That's me.

Sharif, what the average turn around time on your VB upgrade?

Edit: Nevermind, saw it in your original post. I'll be in contact.

^^^Turnaround time can be as fast as 3 business days, if you choose the overnight shipping option.
