Im not new to "modding" cars...just new to nissans ...I was searching the forum and no one really says a good overall turbo kit. Everyone on forums just say the best is whatever they have cuz theyre usually simple minded retards. so if anyone can send me in the right direction that would be great...if not then i guess ill just find another forum. sorry if i wasted your time.

this is pretty much the basis of car forums.. people buy and install stuff, then discuss it. you're just going to have to read through people's build/turbo threads and get a feel for the different kits, decide what's important for you and probably most importantly, what fits your budget, and go from there.

no one has the magic answer.

yeah, in general, you should really set a budget and set some power goals....this would be the best way to determine which turbo kit you'd want....

WHAT? Turbonetics rocks. Just don't buy a used kit. You will want and need the warranty

Daily driving? Autocross? 1/4 Mile? Horsepower goals? Budget?

Please provide these answers and you might get somewhere

It's a valid question and warrants a non-douchebag response unlike some of the ones listed above...

Seriously - not sure what some of you toolbags expect? A majority of Z/G FI-related topics have been addressed, so there will be an unavoidable likelihood of repeat inquiries.

We were all new once - and if it is a source of frustration for you to answer appropriately, buy a Premier membership, and rub one off in the AG forum..
