Just kidding, I have made it to a milestone in my career at my350z.com, and I thought what the he**, get some noobs to reply to this and laugh!!!

Anyway on top of this being my 500th post, I also put my 10,000th mile on my TN kit tonight and am happy to report, she is still wonderfully strong and I can't wait for stage 2 and a built engine!!!

glad everythign is going good for you craig. congrats on the 10k miles mark on the TN kit and stock motor.

I recently broke 31k miles on my Greddy TT kit and the stock block...16k of that at 424rwhp+.

Hopefully you can have the same good fortune...I have noone to thank but Sharif for the great tunes and I know you will vouch for that.

EDIT: OH YEA. I am twin and have no flames against you single guys. I have been twin since before the single turbo Z was "invented"....more power to ya guys.

The last I heard, Rob (MIAPLAYA) has over 23k miles on his Turbonetics kit. It may be more now.

I've had mine on for 8500 miles with no major issues.

No severe issues mechanically with mine and I have been running near 400 whp for nearly all of thos miles as well.

I have only one issue that is my stupid ac line has melted, arghhhh. I want to fix it, but I have a bad feeling it would happen again, I mean, we double heat wrapped and everything, Sharif said he may be able to fix it but it would require taking 75% of the turbo off, :-( !!! Anyway, does anyone know if the ac line that came with the kit would be included in the warranty?

Actually I'm sitting pretty at 31,179 miles as of this afternoon since the turbo kit. About 52,325 total.

Craig, we've found a way to protect the AC line from any potential abrasion and heat....we did it on peking's car, and its working like a charm.

What exactly did you do? Is it something that should be done pre install?
