Universal Turbo Kit Questions
I have received a couple emails regarding people asking if we sell just the turbo manifolds as they purchased a turbo kit that does not include them. I am posting this here because I feel people should know that the Universal Turbo Kit does not work with the 350z, G35c, or any other vehicle that does not come turbocharged from the dealer or most that do for that matter.
Problems with the turbo kit from the following link:
1. Guarantee turbo is not of good quality
2. Same goes for the Wastegate and BOV
3. Intercooler pipes are not bead rolled
4. Misc. Piping (4) 45s, (2) 90s, (2) straight pieces (cut and weld to fit)
5. No engine management or fuel delivery
6. The list can go on.
$600 for a "Universal Fits Most" Application

Do people actually buy this crap from ebay and expect it to work? I really hope people aren't buying it for Z's or even have the thought. As the Z becomes cheaper I am sure more and more kids will look towards this option and have a blown engine upon start up.

You would think this thread 'goes without saying' or is common sense, but unfortunately that is not the case considering we have people calling with questions about their new 'turbo kit'...
danisr1, it would probably fit a john deere better than a 350Z

Been seing this for years in the Supra guys. They buy a "ebay" kit to save like $3K.......but the kit ends up being incomplete....then they have to go to one of the big tuners to finish fabricating the kit and fixing it so it will actually work....and end up spending like $3K MORE than if they would have just gone with said tuner's kit to begin with.
And my god, look at the IC in that pic.....its smaller than the vortec.

u guys musta forgot that thread where the guy built his own turbo kit and made over 400 hp with a PF tune with a 100$ chinese turbo with like 1000$ in parts
If you have the time, welding skills, and some tools, its not rocket science to pipe the exhaust to a turbo.
get real. GTM does that exact same process, granted with much more expensive parts.
