Default Greddy or GTM TT kit

Hi guys, I just wanted to see what you all recommend me to use, a Greddy 18G kit or GTM stage 2 kit for the VQ35DE engine.
I'm looking at about 550-600 rwhp on a built engine with a built 5AT

Thanks Micael

Either but I'd just get the greddy 20g kit if I were leaning toward greddy. Greddy has more potential than stage 2 Gtm but both are capable of what you want

Get a greedy kit. Gtm has the worst customer service and you will most likely be missing 50% of your kit.... worst mistake i ever made.

GTM stage 2 = Oil/Water cooled turbos.

Greddy 18G kit = Oil cooled only.

you decided.

Well I have the kits already, so which gives me the performance I want ?? if both are more or less equal then I guess I sell the one that gives me the most money
So how huge is the oil/water cooling compared to the oil only factor, should I be concerned if I stay with the Greddy kit ??

GTM has bigger FMIC and pipes, K&N filters and mounted away from the engine compartment (way less heat soak), and also the BB oil/water cooled turbos.

I haven't dealt with Greddy before so don't know about there customer service.

GTM customer service is nice (from my experience) if you deal directly with Sam.

P.s make sure you have everything in the boxes from GTM (they were forgetting some parts to send when there kits first came out)

I dont think youll need any head work as these heads flow pretty well stock but if you are gonna put cams in then yea head work wouldnt hurt.

To reach your gaol HP, you might want to get a RFS with twin pumps and 3 in exhaust to be safe and sound.

both kits will meet your goals. i;d sell the GTM since it has a higher resale. then you can have buy supporting parts that are more necessary, like fuel, etc

you don't need headwork or cams to get to your power goals...

However i would recommend cams to give you a much better powerband...ask me how I know that.
