incase it hasn't been mentioned already,
The side charge air pipes will hit Hotchkis rear sway bars.
I am sure this is the case with other aftermarket sway bars

Green wire is just an accessory wire that STS typically uses for an electronic boost controller. It just gives you a wire that is already run through the firewall for whatever accessory you need. It is just cut on each end and you can pull the wire out at any part of the harness as needed.
I spoke with STS about this as i just ran into the same "What's this green wire" question yesterday during my install.

With this Economy, it is really hard continue this kind of hobby. We all know FI regardless of what kit you use is really throwing away your $$$. I have seen people who went FI and part out and sold the car within 3 months. 350Z is really not economical for others since it is just a 2 seater and sometimes people cut down on the # of vehicle they own and just stick to one.
Daniel, first I don't have the Cash right now..lol but AVCR can be bought for around $475 new. I would love to take this off your hand but I'm out of $$.

^^^ yup that was the intent of the thread... I'm sure I'll still be active too. I think long term reliability is going to be where this kit really shines when we start getting some seriously high mkileage guys running this kit...
