I think he's asking if his Nismo exhuast will support a Boosted car.

because some of my friend told me, If I put the turbo kits for my car, I have to change the exhaust, I cannot use the exhaust with the pressure box. so it have to be changed to straight exhaust.

is this true?

Depends, many have said that the Turbonetics kit worked well with even the stock exhaust. Are you doing twins or a single turbo?

you could depending on how much boost your tryin to put out... but you have alot of potential power that could be gained if you changed the Nismo to a dual 2.5 or 3 inch... its still a factory OEM part that has to pass emission and is still restricted....

thanks guys first, because of this reason, I am thinking about vortech Supercharge or twin Turbo kits. if I have to change the exhaust to let Turbo running better, then I prefer Vortech. My aim just like 230~250kws@w. so I am not sure which way should I go for.

anyway, if I choose Vortech to reach 250kws, any extra kits do I need.

now I am looking for the Vortech kits, but I don't understand what is the different between Rev-up kits and non Rev-up kits.

thanks

what year is your Z, and you'll know whether or not to get the rev-up or non rev-up.

you need a non-rev.... the vortech will run pretty nice with you having a track model due to your rear having a bigger gear then the basic 3.5 that all other M/T Z come with

thanks guys, I know the exhaust is nothing compare to the FI kit, but I just love the Nismo, love the sound and the brand. thank you JR350z08, Then I will buy a set of Non Rev up kits for my Z. If I am going to buy used one, how do I check the condition? because I wanna install it by myself. so, where can I find the instruction?

thanks!!~~~
