ahhhh.... Well since you ask...YES, the turbonetics set up is the way to go in my opinion if you plan to go single turbo!...it just doesnt get better than that! My Z runs like a steroid machine.... that thing just loves gas and boosting like theres no tomorrow. the instal is a little aggravating at times but you just have to have paitence.

the kit sounds good and proforms well! If you plan to go further with power this kit will give you plenty of room to grow with many upgrades.

buy this kit! buuuuuuy this kit!

Every kit owner will likely tell you buy their kit. It really is better to do your own research and come to your own conclusions. For me it was a great deal, I did my install and had a clutch/fw, nice guages, a wideband, and a Titanium exhuast for the price of a Greddy TT installed. Its more than enough kit to set up with a fuel system, and piggyback and push your motor to its limit. Now start reading up!

Dirtroad-I dont see any APS ST's in the 11's yet?

I have it. Love it. It was the right kit for me and what I wanted out of a FI set up. What kit will be good for you comes down to soooo many things. What are your goals for your ride?

Love my kit! Love the performance, Love the looks! The black chrome intake piping is SWEET! That big turbo is right in your face when you open the hood. the blow-of valve sounds wicked IMO. The Reflash is sufficient out of the Box. Then there is the price! awesome deal if you ask me! My buddy dyno'd 361HP/380TQ on a stock Z. Nothing else done to the Z! Here is his dyno video http://www.panhandlez.com/videos/dandyno2.wmv

I also did the install with the help of a couple buddies. It is not that bad of an install, a few tight places here and there. A self install will save you $1000-$1500.

I definitely recommend it!

here is a pic of mine installed

400whp on a turn key kit - $5,000

Built motor and stage 2 upgrade for 700+whp - $10,000

Not bending turbo piping when going over a speed bump - Priceless
