F/I build
So I've been thinking about going F/I again recently and after shopping around this is the build list I've come up with so far. My goals for now are about 380-400rwhp on a stock block with possible higher numbers in the future who knows . I don't know WHEN or even IF this would ever happen I've just recently had a bit of extra money. Any thoughts or feedback is appreciated, I'm no pro so if I say list something dumb, sorry.
Still haven't decided on the Powerlab GT35R or the GTM twin or even the Greddy twin, this would all depend if I could get a solid used kit for a good price. Here we go though:
2003 Performance 350Z VQ35DE
Powerlab GT35R Tuner: $5950.00
GTM Twin Turbo Tuner: $5675.00
Deatchwerks 600cc Injectors: $549.00
Walbro 255LPH Fuel Pump: $100.00
Osiris UpRev: $600.00ish
Defi BF Boost Gauge: $250.00
Defi BF Oil Pressure Gauge: $291.55
Defi Link Control Unit II: $115.00
AEM Single Channel UEGO Kit: $346.00
AEM UEGO Wideband Gauge: $260.00
HKS Turbo Timer Type-1 + Harness: $146.00
Performance clutch: ??
Install/Tune: ??
Powerlab GT35R Tuner: $8607.00 w/o clutch and install included.
GTM Twin Turbo Tuner: $8332.00 w/o clutch and install included.
These are also all listed at retail price, with some of the forum specials/deals that I've seen I can save myself around $1,000 on the Powerlab kit and probably around $300-$400 on the GTM kit because I haven't seen a special pricing for that kit unlike the Powerlab GT35R.
I'm thinking around $10,000 can get me on the road but I haven't talked to any shops so I have no idea how much it would cost to get everything installed/tuned. A close shop to me is R/T Tuning in Lansdale so I'd probably be in contact with them if/when I decide to take this any further. Any feedback/help is appreciated thanks.

I read over Vas_33's thread and tune by R/T but I'd much prefer my turbo's in the engine bay. That kit isn't out of the question but I also couldn't locate the fabricator's website or anything. I just don't know enough about it, and the mid mount scares me if I ran over something and damage my turbo.

I have been too buisy building/shipping kits to work on the website

really, the best advice you'll receive is to research mid-mounts, remote-mounts, single-turbos/twins/etc and decide whats best for your situation. i see your budget is 10K but you have to budget for incidentals. and i would highly recommend addressing the cooling system.
i'm not saying that will prevent problems, or add to reliability/longevity, but it doesn't hurt to be overly cautious. i'm not a vet, or even F/I...i'm just relaying some info i've come across on my own personal research.

^^^ That total comes out to be $2,008.55…
After looking at that (although I do think some of what you listed is unnecessary…), I thought why not go bigger in terms of performance and ability? So, I looked into a ProEFI Pro48 EMS, when I purchased it they had a promotion, for roughly $200 less you could have the ProEFI Pro48 ECU, 350Z/G35 wiring harness, MAP sensor, and Can gauge. Much better option IMO, I'm glad I didn’t spend all that money on gauges and a re-flash.

I wouldn't get the turbo timer, instead a boost controller with over boost protection just in case. Turbo timer isn't needed as long as you let the car idle for a few after hard driving( I do after every drive no matter what). And browse the vendor marketplace for some prices, I got DW 600cc injectors and a Walbro 255 for 550$ Shipped, save $100 there, unless you are baller and it doesn't matter ha.
And clutch, I am running ACT 6 puck sprung with a ACT Streetlite Flywheel. Holds the power fine for me. 421whp 391wtq

Obviously if you plan on dropping 6-10k$ down the road on a built motor, the TT setup is the way to go.
Sounds like the 5AT guys have left themselves out in the cold buy not donating a car to build on.
