SOO this turbo kit he stated is 450-500 is too much for the 350z motor.
Dude, go sit on your thumb. You are trying to sound smart with information that EVERYONE on this forums already knows. We all know that you can hit 500 wheel on a stock block, but you better pucker your *** everytime you floor it. 400 wheel is a safe round number that most people go by, but there are plenty on the board in the 420-450 range. I personally rocked 420wheel for awhile, until I built my block.

And no this kit is not to much for a stock block. Ever heard of running a turbo not at the peak of efficiency? Its usually a good idea to promote turbo life and keep the IATs down.

Why run a turbo if its not being efficient?

O wow, my friend. You have a good bit to learn. Being efficient and being at the peak of efficiency are completely different.

Seriously, STFU! He said you don't have to run it at peak efficiency and you replied with why run a turbo if it isn't efficient. Where did he imply it wasn't efficient? He didn't. Go put on your exhaust, order your spacer and intake, dream about your turbo.....then stay out of the FI section.
