Default Pros/Cons of Turbonetic Turbo Kit?

I've been thinking for my 2003 350z on the turbonetic turbo kit, any suggestions pros/cons? It is nearly $5k for the setup, so I am thinking it is good?

So, your saying that because it's $5k that it's automatically good?

Your logic = 'tarded

Pro - More power (than N/A)
Con - Higher chance of blown engine (than N/A)

TN is old fashioned...PowerLab is the wave of the future.

Pro of a PL ST kit- one less turbo to buy if it blows...but it shouldn't blow anyways. Easy to upgrade. Relatively simple kit (not for me though...I had it put in), engine doesn't have to come out to be installed.

I've had my TN for about 10K miles & have had no issues at all. The Z is my weekend car & have had lots of fun with it from Boxsters, Cayman S, Vette's, GTO 6.0's, etc. I have an AT which is fool proof as you just stick your foot to the pedal & enjoy the boost as it shifts flawlessly. I did have my rev. limiter raised to 7100 RPM by Technosquare. I am planning to do a valvebody upgrade in the future for quicker shifts. The only thing I could advise is to make sure you have it installed by a TN experienced shop. Wrong installs can ruin everything. Best of Luck!!!!

I would like the TN kit if it were not for the intake pipe going RIGHT over the hottest freakin thing in the car. Someone must have fallen asleep on that pipe routing.

The fact is the PL uses larger diameter piping to flow more....but it can cause slight bumps into other parts (I have insulation on the hood and the KOYO radiator cap.

The TN is a great kit if you don't want to spend as much.....it all depends on what you want to pay and what you can deal with.
