Default 305z Turbonectis kit discontinued

Well, like the title says. And don't plan on getting a longer AC line replacement because they never addressed the problem like they claimed they were doing.
Got all this info from there sales rep at Turbonetics, via email. SO I guess WE have to make our own longer AC line to fix there problem. F**k Turbonetics A big let down. Soon as I get my block built this kit is gone....

It's like they turned in to UTEC they just don't care. I was told from them 5 months ago they were making a longer AC line. And now this.

Yeah we are going to see a huge decline in the market of aftermarket parts for the 350 now that the 370 has been released... everyone is trading in their 350, shops are buying up 370s to see what they can fab up for it themselves.

but yeah nexx is right, powerlab > turbonetics anyways

I don't see that being the case at all. GTM just released 2 new twin turbo kits for the 350Z. One for the HR and one for the DE. The people who are going to buy the 350z now are the ones that couldn't afford new ones and will probably end up modifying them now that the purchase price is stupidly low. Have you noticed the amount of newbs on the FI forum lately?

I know it has been a while since I posted here but I think that its time for me to clear up some things here.

The A/C line issue has been fixed for over 6 months now. Unfortunately the person that you were dealing with here was unware. But I know for a fact this was done because I was involved in this matter. All of the new kits that are being shipped out with this new longer A/C and in case you would like to order one of the new A/C lines the part number is 21214.

Our 350z kit will still be available through turbokits.com. We will still honor warranites and still provide tech support for this kit.

Any new kit that Turbonetics come out with in the future has to be CARB legal. Unfortunately just slapping a disclaimer on your kit stating this kit is for "Off-Road Use Only" doesnt fly anymore.

If anything, the aftermarket for the 350Z will increase now that the 370 is out. Most people do not heavily modify the cars until the warranty is up anyway!! Now that the 370z is out, the price on the 350s will drop a bit..... so more money left over for modifications!!
