dyno chart for 9 psi and 11 psi!

Here at the shop we have been working non stop to produce some turbo kits for a few different line of cars. One that we are working on now is a single turbo kit for the 350z's. its heart of it will be a gt4088 with a .95 ar. its basically a low mount setup. finalizing all pipes today. intercooler was finalized yesterday. below is some pics of some fabrication we have done so far! as stated, we will be updating this thread forever!

below pics are actual manifolds that we have built. two different sr20det manifolds and one evo manifold. will be posting pics up of the actual 350z end of today. just finalized one of the runners to the actual t4 divided flange already. ic has been done already also.
wow very impressed guys. lookin forward to the vq35 turbo set-up... how will the fitment be? Im assuming its for both the 350 n g35s correct? What kinda numbers r u hoping to hit on a built block?

What do you mean by low mount setup? Something similar to that of the APS ST kit? What would be really sweet is to make a setup that locates the turbo near the front bumper in the area between the bumper and the wheel well on the drivers side. There was a DIY that someone a while back was doing like this....
Manifold work looks great. Love the GT-R collectors.
Quick question: Any particular reason for choosing a 4088R for the single VQ35 kit? (From personal experience - *Although not on a VQ35* - I've never really been happy or impressed with any 4088R in the real world, not on paper this comp map vs that map).
IMO, there are other Garrett and BorgWarner choices which in my experience have proven to be more efficient, provide more power and faster spool for power range, or only slightly slower(in some cases negligible) pickup for a much broader power range (EX: TO4Z, 4094, T4S366-74 etc over a 4088R).
Regardless, kit looks great and has a ton of potential. And a lot of the Garrets are frame interchangeable anyway. Goodluck. In for first numbers!

HR owners, looking for a HR to actually do r and d on to create a single turbo kit! pm me or call the shop for details.
turbo actually sits next to the trans underneath the passenger side. we will take pics once everything is finalized
decided on the 4088 just due to the size of the turbo and knowing that we can spool it. its a t4 divided with twin wastegates. our powerband we are looking for is from 4200-5100 to 7200-7600. customer wanted something that was different from everyone else but at a great price. if it doesnt spool the way we want it to, we will go smaller on the exhaust housing

That is a tight fit, looking forward to the pictures/creativity. I am guessing that you have an E compressor cover on the turbo as well do to the room.
Sounds like a mirror image of the APS ST kit.
