Check the other PowerLab threads that show the dynographs of a 76S turbo on a Supra and Intense's widebody G. Given the same turbo, the VQ will make more power with a better powerband than the 2JZ. Period.

Im just saying the Supra is a no brainer to go single for big numbers. If the 350z was a similar no brainer why would intense be doing the twin gt37 kit as well. I am not bashing this kit in the least, I have PMed intense multiple times about purchasing one in the upcoming weeks.

For similar power out of a single turbo kit you'd be in it for less then half of that price listed above.

for comparison sake, here's what a Supra does w/ the same Turbo (different boost pressures) but you can see how much of a difference there is in spool up time.

I wasn't arguing supra vs. 350z
I love this new kit. For me it has exactly what Im looking for. I was originally looking for a vortech because I had on on my s2000 and the ease of install and maintenance (rebuild blower, etc). This single turbo kit is the best of both world for me. Turbo torque and power under the curve plus the ease of install and maintenance.
One question...would crawford or alphawerks headers make much of a difference with this kit?

can anyone post an overlay or a comparison between this kit and the greddy, aps, or either JWT kit at the same boost level. Thanks. I think the single is just a bit behind from what I could see. Not too far. I am looking for a highway/drag car that could hold its on a road course. They seem pretty close at 5252rpm taking into account dyno variation. Just wondering what the differences are at 3000-3500. What about the 632 vs a similar greddy kit?

not sure but i am going to guess and say no...there might be a bit of a problem fitting it with the full 3" downpipe

Can we see these graphs overlaid with rpm? imho that would give a better comparison. No doubt the VQ will give better results with a given turbo we are just 10 years behind their curve, lol.

Knowing what someone has run in the 1/4 mile on a turbo kit really means jack.
Dyno sheet speaks louder then anything else.
400WHP 350Z might run 12.5 with Joe
400WHP 350Z might run 13.5 with bob
