They say they won't guarantee ANYTHING past 10 psi...

Edit: Oh I just remembered why I came here... will the Nismo exhaust fit at the end? Will the exhaust manifold supplied bolt up to the Nismo exhaust piping?
I'm thinking of getting the Nismo exhaust and selling the muffler...

Is this kit really worth it potential-wise? I have a big fat heavy FX35 with AWD and 5AT losses. My goal is to break 400 whp and wtq, which will require alot more than usual at the crank to overcome the losses. Will this kit be able to do it?
Keep in mind, I have a built motor (9.0:1 Arias ED, H-beam, ARP, etc), so my block isn't what's holding me back from the hp/tq goals.

I'm not sure what the efficiency of this turbo is as far as what kind of psi its good till but I'm thinking if you got most of the bolt ons, a good tune (mine could be better), and turned the boost up to 11 or 12psi you should have no problem hitting 400 to the wheels even with the auto.

But Ill give u STS guys 1 thing your cars sound INSANE!!Pricey? Name me a kit that you can get for $5500 with Utec+Map Sensor, spark plugs, injector the size of what STS is giving. Tial BOV and Wastegate are not that cheap either. News flash... TN also out of the box is around 360-380 with 8-9PSI, STS is making 350-360 with only 7.5 PSI and stock exhaust and with CAT.
you can get a TN (G35 ver.) Kit for 5000 complete but with a reflash and 380 injector.

Same as any other kit out there... boost is boost and there is nothing different with Rear-Mount Turbo.

STS turbo is an AWSOME deal. No flash is as good as a nice tune on UTEC also. Many people run turbonetics with the base flash but the flash is 'too conservative' and may not be right for everyone. UTEC alone is 1000 bucks, the tial blow off valve and EWG is also around 500 bucks. STS turbo kit is a great deal..

Good luck, and I hope you have a backup plan.
Now as for the kit, how hard do you think it would be to customize this into a TT setup? Maybe get a Borla exhaust and throw another turbo on that beeyotch?
