Vince doesn't even really post on here that much and considering how large my350 is, when he does log on he only goes to the SoCal section.

He's been quite busy with work and as a matter'fact, just built us a kick *** computer.

Overall, he is doing very well but a car recently cut him off forcing him into a curb. His front right rim has been badly damaged, right fender has been popped up, front part of his kit needs to be replaced and right sideskirt also needs to be replaced.

Thanks Sharif.

Not sure if you remember but I'm the guy that called you in regards to the 'pricing'.

Thanks for your insight.

Thanks Kidden. I would LIKE to do some body mods and do some interior enhancements also but money needs to go elsewhere now.

If I was to do a kit, my car would basically look like Tarraun's Z but blue and, well, on the other side of the country. lol

I also have one inhibition about getting a kit and that is attracting the attention of the police. If it weren't for that, the decidion to get a kit would be much easier.

I was just going to ask about the intercooler, but you answered that question.

Nice pictures man, I am looking forward to seeing pictures of the install.

Always good to hear good story like this "customer satisfaction" your story is just like mine, My car is at GTM at the moment since last saturday, I'm also running with Turbonetics, I have a Greddy evo2 that Sam told me it's crap for FI and I need a tune bad. I hope I get a call this week from GTM and have the same ending like yours. Glad you got your car back! happy boosting!

Welcome back and congrats on the new found power, I love the gold GT-S's on your DB

I actually have the EVOII on my car with the TN kit and no problems. I had a 3" in/two 2.5" out y-pipe installed on it however. Flows great, JT at PF got it to make good power and it's QUIET as hell

Yeah, I figured that the Greddy was bad for the TN system when I had the kit first installed by Technosquare. They cited not only the diamter of the piping but also the fact that there was a split and that the exhaust would bunch-up a bit where there was a y-split.

GTM is very familiar of course with the Z and a variety of kits and I am sure your outcome will be more than satisfactory.

Interesting. Technosquare did a small amount of fabrication but I think if you went with a single 3" it would be better. I don't think it is just a matter of adding inches together but also gettign rid of any bottlenecks or even BENDS in the system.

Yes. GTM did the original tune after I deemed the TN reflash not to be up to par. They ofcourse did the second retuning of the car to incorporate the added criteria of a completely new exhaust set-up as well as a new injector set-up.

I am VERY satisfied with the EU and for somebody like me, the EU fit the bill perfectly whereas a UTEC would've been over-the-top and an unnecessary expense.

I measured the inner diameter of the two pipes that split off to go to the resonators and then mufflers of my EVOII and found they were 2.4", more than enough flow. The y-splitter I used actually has a sort of expansion chamber before it splits off, seems to be working for me I love how quiet it is and would never trade it for a LOUD single, I don't like the way they look on a Z33 anyways...

Considering what I have been through, I needed a single exhaust that also looked stock.

One single 3" down pipe leading to one single 3" mid-pipe only seemed logical.

No doubt you are quiter than me and I wish I retained that quieteness but you ight be holding back a few ponies and footpounds.

My car initially hit 400whp 390wtq at 8.5psi spring pressure, but JT pulled back some timing because it was on the ragged edge of knock, so now I'm at 388whp. Still think it's a bottleneck? I know what you're trying to say, and I fully agree that a single 3" would be better for flow, but one thing I forgot to mention is that I'm ALSO running an open dump on the wastegate

Not sure what it is. All I know is the shortest way from point A to point B is a straight line and that I asked for a conservative tune on 91 octane.

Looks and sound Greddy Evo2 is amazing, I like when people think I'm running N/A till they hear the turbo spools.

Blu Blur, do you have a dyno sheet before and after you took it to GTM (Just to compare)?
