Where will the down pipe run? It dosent look like there is any room in the pictures it looks like it will have to run under the steering rack? Its hard to tell from the pictures so maybe there is more room than the picture shows. I am interested in your results

Will this car need a custom condenser/radiator setup or is A/C being ditched all together?

Always exciting to see someone try something new, especially when going for big power. One suggestion, put ebp bungs on both collectors. With the piping being so different between the banks, you may end up with a different tune on bank1 vs bank2. Any reason you chose Turbonetics?

Keep us posted with progress and results!

Picked up the turbo for a cheap price, also trying something different i had a aussie commodore with and always have run a garret so trying something i think no one has tried on a 350z, turbonetics have got a good unit with there GTK series, we got some awesome results with there units so giving it a go
Pics of customers/friends M3 it dynod in just over 1000hp on 98 oct fuel no nitrous with a gtk 850

TN Turbo's get a bad rap because of TN's sh!tty piping they never improved on.... the Turbo's themselves are fine.. but anything with a TN name will leave a bad taste in anyone's mouth who has been on this board for sometime
