Exclamation ALL MECHANICS PLEASE LOOK(or tubo experts)

This is my first car and i don't wanna f*** up the engine on my first turbo. Here are some of the turbos i was looking at:

http://www.turbo-kits.com/350Z_turbo_kits.html
http://www.turboneticsinc.com/ts_overview.htm

They can both be ran good at 8psi of boost as it says but i am looking to buy the kit so i can get my engine to support the turbocharger and then a bigger/better turbocharger, requires over my engine to eb able to take over12psi, but how can i get my Z to be able to hold about a good 15 or more psi of boost? I really need help on this.

build your motor. connecting rods only hold around 400hp and if you replace them you should just do a full build, pistons ect... ect... pay to play

This kid needs to be banned.. read his other post about AWD'ing a Z, what he said and why he wants it done. He thinks he hit the gold or something with that idea (like nobody thought of that before).

If you can't afford to break it don't turbo it. Youll be left with a huge paper weight, especially if you are young.

How about learning to drive the car stock?
Best idea yet.

And after looking at this thread again, I gotta say... the thread title is horrid.

ITSNOTREADY-

dont listen to these guys they dont know what they are talking about, you should get the turbonetics kit and ask for the T66 turbo, then buy a boost controller and up the boost to 20psi but make sure to get some nitrous (2 big bottles) it will help spool in the lower rpm's, and with that my friend your ready to go nothing will stop you.
