Greddy TT install, questions...
I tried installing a uppipe on my SINGLE turbo TN kit and let me tell you how much of a ***** it was. It took me nearly 12 hours just for the swap.
And you know what, i just blew my motor so this ****ing turbo kit has to come off and go on once again. I HATE NISSAN!!!!!
oh the positive side, Ill see you guys in 2 months with 500whp with my TN kit.

I've turbocharged a Maxima, a small block chevy, and done just about every thing you can imagine to a ton of DSM's including a complete all-wheel-drive swap into a fwd but this was far more of a hassle.
It can be done; in fact people do it everyday, but don't put a deadline on it because it'll make you miserable if you do. If you run into any issues let me know; I took a ton of pictures that may answer some questions.
Good luck!

OP: Just drop the motor, doesn't take but an hour and it makes installing the kit a lot easier.

Take the 5 minutes to pull the harness from the body, disconnect a few ground cables and the alternator harness...good to go. Harness comes down with it.

More than 5 minutes, true...closer to 10 to remove the battery cover crap, the lower dash panel on the passenger side (makes it easier), and all of the ground wires. Still far easier than pulling the entire harness off of the engine, and makes for less of a chance of somehow breaking/destroying some of those hard to reach connectors in the engine bay.

The downpipe is only 2.5". It doesn't flow well enough. My car stopped making power @ 5200 RPM with only 470whp. As you increase the boost the peak power drops in RPM unti lit's pretty much eseless. The point the Tn kit starts getting ugly is about 410whp. After that your looking at powerband issues. There are a few of us that tried to get close to 500whp and in the end all of us traded up to the Greddy TT. Now it's all sunshine!

Sharif seems to put alot of effort into some tunes he does and less into others. I was less than happy with his last 2 tunes he did for me. The Turbonetics and the Greddy.
