Default FMAX Turbo Kit

I'm looking to see if any Z owners have installed the turbo setup by Fmax which you can find here : http://www.turbo-kits.com/350Z_turbo_kits.html and IF SO, how satisfied are you and what can you say about it? If a little more info is needed, I'm just looking for some more power without having to upgrade internals. I don't want to run high boost, just somewhere between 6-8 psi. Thanks for the info.

Hate the dynograph they posted on there, and they put turbo and twin turbo and only one price. $4795 for just the single turbo kit? I didn't realize how expensive it is just for the kit.

1ST AND FOREMOST
WTF is the difference, listen i'm doing my research, thats something good that came up and the page prior to it was by "FMAX". My understanding is the Fmax does the piping...not turbonetics...that just says the turbine is by turbonetics.. the intercooler says spearco, not turbonetics..

2nd and more importantly!!

it strictly says, for those who have an Fmax system..or in this case..turbonetics.... why the fack u reply??

Spearco is a division of Turbonetics as is FMAX as Tim posted. The owner of FMAX sold the company to Turbonetics who was making the kit based on the design of the original owner. The kit is no longer in production as the old FMAX kits have been discountinued however many guys are still running the kits. Turbonetics can stll make the intercooler if need be or any intercooler for just about any vehicle and it would be branded with the Spearco logo.
