A buddy of mine works at a motorsports shop in the nearby town and has told me he can get a "Turbonetics TT FULL KIT" for 4000 bucks or a Hypertech SC Full Kit for 3500... Now I wanna go SC cuz of stock intestines but *any words of advice or caution would be appreciated...especially concerning the turbonetics TT he sez he can order... and also about the hypertech SC which he sez can tune up to 500hp, all good if it is a worthy upgrade but i dont really know

and replies ->

Appreciate this. Your friend is either trying scam you or he is trying sound like he knows what he's talking about. You were right to ask here first. Now tell him to stay the hell away from your car. Good luck.

I'd definitely stick to SC if you still have stock intestines. The blinding speed from the TT kit might cause an unplanned blowout.

Under a grand?? If it were that price i dont think there would be any na Z's on here...but if they only charge u less than a grand, then more power to you.. Good luck with that ...

Single turbo kit for under a grand? Maybe the "company" that was selling an 85$ ECU mod (aka some resistor crap) is selling him the turbo...
How about you buy me 50$ worth of booze in where you're at and I'll pay for shipment of the liquor. If "under a grand" gets you a TN ST at the Mojave, then the 50$ would keep you drunk till New Years...
