what else do i have to change when gettin a turbo kit
im currently saving up to purchase a turbo kit, im just wondering if any of the mods i already have are going to have to be changed out or what other things im going to have to do to make sure my engine is strong enough... i was told that im going to have to change out my exhaust(wich im hoping is not true, i just bought that) but i might be totally wrong and not have to do any of that..

Take a look at our Stage I Greddy package. That is a good safe start, and you can add more to your car later.

Learn from others' mistakes with turbo kits. Do it right, and do it right the first time. Like Sharif mentioned, a good tune and EMS could be the difference between a smooth running FI beast or a huge headache.
The install and tune is just as important as the turbo kit. You should look into getting the kit and install / tune all at the same shop. Sharif is highly recommeded. Good luck!

I would upgrade the clutch now since I hear it a ***** after the fact and frankly you can get a good one for a grand and not need to worry about it unless you run mad boost and dawg the **** out of it... lol was just thinking about the amt of people who have lost there car on pinks over there clutches being done.. I would be heated

jwt pop charger, un pulley, kinetix v+ plenum, borla true duel exhaust
^ your listed mods -
Pop charger will be gone - all turbo kits come with their own intakes
UR pulley - the Risk is not worth the minute HP gain, especially when you are talking FI. My crank pulley is thought to have taken out my crank
Kinetix V+ - NO kinetix product should be on any Z car, let alone a boosted one. The plastic is ****. I have seen them warp and cause blown out gaskets (boost leaks), yes even the V+, and yes, even at <10 psi of boost
Borla - You could run this exhaust, though I would recommend at least jumping up to an APS 2.5" exhaust. Borla may be fine for 7-8 psi, but I have seen them be very restrictive on boosted cars.

as of right now im thinking more about the supercharger. im 22 and had to save up for a little over a year, putting any money i could posibly into my savings, just for a down payment plus i had 3 grand on my trade in.. meaning im pretty damn poor. I cant really afford to take a big risk with my car, although if there the same risk factor i will still go with one of them. I was told the supercharger is alot safer.. true?
