Congrats Chris!! If I remember correctly, at one point you were considering doing this install yourself. Glad to see Forged got the job done to your satisfaction. It looks great in the pics. Clean the car up and hit the road!!!

Just for some clarification........We have, as well as other shops, private indiviuals, etc......installed these turbo systems on 03' and 04' Z's and G'z and also 05' Rev-up Z's and G's.We have not installed them in-house on the 06's though.The piping for the intercooler is a little different for the G's if they get the twin intercoolers but it is identical to the Z if they opt for the big front mount intercooler.The turbo system is tough to fit but we have done many installs without the need to modify any of the piping,headers,etc.......Now we do have to move things around like one of the A/C lines, power steering lines, flip the lead to the starter,remove various brackets,etc.........If you tried to install this system and not address these things then it would lead to a very tedious installation. I beleive their is mention of this in our instructions but I will admit,they are not as detailed instructions as APS or Greddy,etc........If it was the first time installing one of these system I am sure it would take alot of extra time.I think Sharif and crew did a good job on the install
From the dyno chart it looks like it made good power at a low boost levels.This was one of our goals with this kit.We wanted to make good power at lower boost levels and still have enough turbo left to make big power on a built motor while still retaining the same turbos and everything else.
