My first build:

https://my350z.com/forum/forced-indu...brication.html

That build has over 33,500 views and I got great support from the community here. People are open to new ideas; you just have to get on it. Talking about it and asking questions before research will get you in trouble here. If you have some legitimate question, then ask, you will get an answer and it will be as good as the question.

My second build:

https://my350z.com/forum/forced-indu...rbo-build.html

This kit is now available for purchase. If I did not have the support here it would have never become a production kit.

From the post above... It looks like members are posting pix to help the OP!!!

The only people that get beat up on are the ones that start STUPID threads or start with the ego crap.... Few more... But I am sure you get my point.

From your attitude it seems like you were a victim of an Internet beat down...
I get your point exactly. I do see some pics to help, but before those pics came up, there was some hate. Read through again if you missed it. If you thought I was talking about the people trying to help, then you are wrong.

I'm glad that Boosted Perf is up but I'm not sure what that has to do with people hating other than people might not have hated on him.

I didn't think I was giving anyone an attitude other than the people that jumped in on this thread hating on the OP like he was an idiot for wanting something different.

I'm glad you didn't get hated on. Looks like you have a nice kit set up there. But asking a question could be looked at as research. I'm not sure why asking a question is thought of as not doing research. I know I don't post up every thought I have, but if I see someone asking a question about something I know about, I try to help.

There are exception like asking a question that has been asked a million times and also answered a million times. Was this one of them?

So what's the hate for me about? Just wanted to talk some poop on a forum? Oh yeah, I remember, this is exactly what I'm talking about. lol Haters gon hate.
Well said.

top mount is any turbo that sits above the manifold, so in theory, the turbo sits higher than the manifold, thus it is technically top mount lol

A turbocharger with piping running around in a way that makes it stick out of your engine compartment is not a top mounted turbo. It would be mounted to the top of the turbo manifold.

It wasnt so much hate IMO, rather than with such a short uninspired question, you would think that its just another kid that jumped on the forum that wants, wants, wants, but does not know the "how" to get there.... OP none of that is intended to you im just demonstrating what alot of ppl do in this forum also.... if you want this unique type of build and got the cash and skill to figure it out then go for it!!! But dont jump in over your head if you dont know what your doing. just my 5 CENTS.......
