modacar quoted me 1800 labor for the greddy TT kit
Whats all this talk about needing 15 grand? The tech stated that no internals require upgrading. The kit is designed to bolt onto a stock motor. Here is a link to the kit http://www.modacar.com/products/Niss...induction.html
after tax OTD w/labor would put me at 7-8 grand. Please give me some insight, thanks.

That is just the price of the turbo kit..no intercooler. Any shop that simply bolts on a Greddy TT kit without anything extra, and sends them on their way...its being incredible reckless. The engine will go boom very very quickly. Statements like this, tell me this shop has zero experience with FI on the VQ35.

The clutch won't last long at all with the twins.
Doesn't matter how much tuning is... it's a necessity if you want your engine to last. Ditch the emanage and get either UTEC or FCON.

This is the price w/ the intercooler. Modacar is a highly renowned shop in Northern California for their dynajet and tuning of evo's, sti's, and z's. Running 6 psi is extremely low and safe, therefore the tech said internals should be safe.

This is the reason why i'm still saving up. Save yourself the headache. You can't really do it cheap and want the results you want. You don't even have an upgraded clutch yet so that already tells me you are not ready for it.

the fmic is 1329.00, i guess its not included. I forgot to ask how much a tune is. At the absolute max I would spend 9 grand for guages and a tune, nothing close to 15 grand.

15 grand includes an good FI rated clutch, FI exhaust (your evo II is very restrictive, trust me), a blow-off valve, 600-800 for a good tune, 1000 or so for a GOOD EMS. Alot of guys also like to upgrade to a return fuel system as well and run larger injectors than the stock greddy's. It all adds up but it's more than worth it. Oh, don't forget boost and wideband 02 gauges. Plus extra labor to install said extra items

Here is a good place to start looking when going with the Greddy
https://my350z.com/forum/engine/270261-greddy-tt-stage-packages-you-asked-here-it-is.html
those are good prices, now add install and gauges to say a stage one or two package and that is a realistic quote and that is without an upgraded clutch/flywheel, tune

The reliability goes hand-in-hand with the tune.
