piecing the kit together now, got utec and looking at exhaust, going to function tuned for install. I got an 06 g35 6mt revup, and i hear the vortch are pretty solid on them but i really want the torque of the TN, however hear TN are not made for the revup and they require alot of modification.IM going pretty conservative only want around 375 hp at the wheels. anyone running TN on revup and how much additional work was involved.

equal whp or equal tq or equal boost?
equal tq, the vortech would probably win since it'd have like 80 more tq in the upper powerband
equal whp, the greddy would win
equal boost, the greddy would win

Had the vortech with 3.12 and mods approx 10psi, now have the tn single and mods approx 8.5 psi.
I did like the top end of the vortech, but you gotta drive it hard to get all the boost.
I do like the wicked midrange pull of the tn, but miss the top end I used to have.
I like the stealth factor the turbo gives me. I didnt like the noisy blower unit, or the whistling whisky bypass valve it had.
Im sure once i get a proper ems and tune my st will be even more impressive to me.

I said go vortech for a couple reasons..............
1) vortech makes a kit specifically for the "revup" with a better belt wrap design.. you have to modify the steering rack to fit the TN or some people have said that you have to swap the rack back to an 03-05 unit...
( not sure though)
2) 95% chance you will melt your A/C line (eventually) with the TN.
3) extentended power band with the Vortech, versus a truncated powerband of the TN.

its not truncated... you either will make whp to the redline... or be "flatter" by read line... but you get a heck of a lot more Tq and u trully will enjoy getting the "pushed back to the seat" feeling...
both are decently cheap...for the Z and also relatively easy installation.
How ever...quadcam is right... Vortech makes rev up specific unit.
On the steering pump you dont have to modify it... much easier to jsut have the shop modify the downpipe.

yeah I just dropped my 06 z at function this morning for vortech install. I am planning on staying around 400 and keeping everything low key, trying to keep engine intact for as long as possible.
