Default turbo?

hey guy sorry for the silly question but I been doing a lot of research about the turbo setups everyone has and all, what I am looking for is a turbo set up where I can get a little more hp is there a low pressure turbo setup out there maybe that can give me an extra 70-100 more hp to the engine. I just feel anything more then that is over kill I am not racing the car plus there are enough fast cars in my family’s collection. Also with that little gain I don’t think I would need to upgrade 20 other things like clutch fly wheel brakes and 10 other parts  lol

70-100 bhp?? Why would you waste $$ and hassle to achieve only about 50whp? Just stay N/A and build full bolt-ons and a tune... It will get you there.

If you have a specific question about a 350Z, it makes sense to ASK that question in the CORRECT forum section.

Just get a SC who cares about the noise its cheap, reliable, you can install yourself and you might not even need a tune. Going turbo is not cheap no matter how you do it, even if you are looking at only 70-100extra hp wants you get a turbo put in you are going to get greedy and want more power. And what is wrong with just do it yourself bolt-ons? I just dont think turbo is right for you, but it is your money you do what you want with it.
