SOO this turbo kit he stated is 450-500 is too much for the 350z motor.
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.

I personally rocked 420wheel for awhile, until I built my block.

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.
