Default Best turbo kit out of Greddy/JWT/ and TN?

Ok so heres my dilema. I wanna run a turbo kit on the Z when I get it. I want to run either the Greddy TT/ JWT TT/ or the TN kit. Now my questions are....which would be the best kit to get me as close to or get me to 450whp? Noah at AAM said that the JWT TT kit would be the best being that its a complete kit and has 0 turbo lag to it at all. However he told me to ask on here as well just so i can get a feel for what other acutal owners of the kits would recommend. So if I wanna get 450rwhp, have minimal lag, have reliability, power all the way thru the power band, what would be the best kit out of the three to run? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Seem that you have gotten good advise about the JWT TT kit, that is "hands down" (IMO) thee kit to have.

450rwhp on stock internals is not safe imo and I doubt many will disagree.

I personally dont think the JWT is that complete. It uses stock injectors and doesnt even come with a return style fuel system. Just doesnt sound safe to me.

+1....... I agree, not a good idea to venture to far north of 400whp on the stock internals.

WEll about the fuel and fuel return system, AAM addressed that to me and I am going to be doing injectors and the fuel return system when I do the kit. I jsut wanna get the best kit to run that why im asking about these 3 kits. Also about 450rwhp on the internals, AAM told me that they have a 500rwhp greddy twin kit that runs fine on stock internals. But again I do appreciate all info and help from you guys as I am a noob that lookin to learn. If 450rwhp however isnt safe on stock internals wat is the max?

I disagree and I plan on running 475whp daily without any issues.

the JWT kit is an awesome kit imo.

I thought the jwt kit is good out the box? Did they say that it would be a good idea to get there feul return and system or did it say it would be find to run it out the box cause alot of people that run it out the box seem to be happy with it.

well I'm glad that's what you plan to run but you must realie our stock rods are too thin for that power. I'm sure there are some motors that hold together with that kind of power and others that pop right away. either way come back with 10k 475rwhp mils and then you could change some minds. I see a popped motor in your future chim.

Theres a reason for this and if you do not know what it is you should not disagree with it.

I can disagree with anything I want. The reason they left the fuel system mostly stock was so they can try and get a CARB cert. Even if they get it the kit does not seem safe to me (call me crazy for having my own opinion). And the kit how it comes will not get close to the numbers the original poster was shooting for.
