Yes im a newb! i just bought a greddy tt with the 20g turbos looking to push around 550. i have a built long block ,but my question is what clutches do you recommend for my setup? I would want something i could eventually pass 600. Would i really need to upgrade my flywheel or would the stock work just fine? Im going to buy 650 injectors and a utec for starters. Would it be a good idea to go ahead and get a return fuel system or will my stock system with 650 get me at 550hp? also what are some reasonable price on decent axles for 600? What size fuel pump would work on my setup as well? sorry for so many questions but i am a newb! Thanks in advance for the recommendations!!!

Thanks slidefox! good info!!! Do you think its ok to run a stock flywheel or get a light weight fw? So a stage 5 Rps should do for now? Whats the difference in sprung and unsprung that RPS sales?

If you don't plan to pass 650rwhp, DXD Southbend has a cheaper alternative to the multi-disk clutches. They offer some pretty slick hp grabbing clutches.......but if you plan to surpas 650rwhp you are going to have to go to one of the multi-disk setups.
If you go with most of the multi-disk clutches they come with a lwfw. Its better mating material to the material used for the clutches.
If you go with the dxd southbend alternative, stock flywheel is fine.
Just another option.

I am a noob but not new to the internet. This is my first post and I spent 3 hours looking for this thread through various sites. Thank you very much, as just lurking my way through random threads gives tons of different, biased opinions, plus some of the posts are 4-5 years old.

Congrats on your purchase.
I as well as MANY others have run that kit on a stock block at well over 10psi. That being said, the piping and turbo of that kit are pretty inefficient so the best advice is to run it on wastegate spring pressure only. At 8psi, you will make ~380whp, which is basically what the 380cc injectors for the kit will be good for. This is a good kit for stock motor if you respect the idea of just running the kit on spring pressure and don't get boost greedy. Be happy with ~380whp and when you get bored with that, sell the kit, build a motor on the side, and buy a more efficient kit that supports higher horsepower goals (GReddy/PowerLab, etc). Hope this helps.

As Darren stated above, install it and tune it to spring pressure only, and have some fun. Either way you will be happy!!

If I understand you correctly, you purchased the kit that doesn't include the high-flow cats, correct? If that's the case, this kit will not retain your Nissan OEM catalytic converters, nor your Nissan OEM y-pipe. Technically, you can use your Nissan OEM rear section of your exhaust (the rear section/muffler section). If you want an aftermarket rear section exhaust rather than the Nissan one, there's plenty that are compatible, including:
Apexi WS2
Fujitsubo
JiC Type 1 Single tip(all materials: stainess, stainless/Ti, Ti)
JiC Type 2 Dual tip (all materials)
AAM single
GReddy TiC
I'm sure I've missed a couple, but this should get you headed in the right direction. By the way, these exhausts work with any of the single turbo kits on the market that replace the piping in the front of the exhaust (PowerLab, etc).
