No need for that, the length of the intake pipe actually acts as an intercooler itself already, but you can add an intercooler if you wish,.

STS makes kits without intercoolers, then add on optional intercoolers, same as Greddy...I always reccoment and intercooler if not methenol injection.

I can't wait to see a pic of all the parts(kinda like greddy and turbonetics when they layout all the parts), so that I can see what options they offer vs.not..(Tuner kit vs. full kit)...But i've seen info that has the boost at 6.5 psi and topped @ 407 on the dyno ...And was limited to that due to fuel...(was told they could have pushed more with more fuel)...But looking forward to seeing this first hand for myself!!!

As I mentioned before the car did make +400whp. I had to stop the project early due to my funds....I was unable to upgrade to a fuel return system....

Any analysis of intake temperature at the throttle body without the IC?

That should determine whether or not an IC is neccessary for the bolt on boost.

6K for an FI kit which essentially incorporates the exhaust system into itself is fair enough...
What EMS are they using? UTEC?

Default Daily Driver

This is my daily driver 5.7L V8 300C that I am trying to get STS to turbo...right now the aftermarket/FI is still new to the car....building ad fabricating a turbo system wont give STS problems....its the tuning part that will. Hopefully a AEM EMS comes out for the car.

I came across this on eBay this morning. The STS 350z Turbo Kit for sale......I didn't think it was out yet....could be a scam.

The picture shown in the ebay link is MY engine bay but I definetly suggest its a scam. There are no pics of the kit, no dyno graphs..nothing.

Notice the tach on the engine bay pic..And the decals on the front. AEM inake that i had. RsR exhaust that i had...and nismo spoiler that i once had also..its my car for sure....i have yet to see that pic..but definetly a scam
