lol please do not go with the Turbonetics kit on your Z it truly is a terrible choice. However to answer your question, boosting a 50k Z will not blow it up. A proper installation and ECU tune is the biggest factor in blowing up your motor.

garbage for quality, and very outdated kit..much much better options...

the kits dont hold up very well, pipes cracking etc. turbo's are garbage and blow seals all the time, the t-netics flash is garbage so it would require a different ems to tune properly...Just a very bad choice..

DO RESEARCH

u obviously dont know much so start searching

I did TONS of research, supporting mods, etc and boosted mine at around 56K miles. It blew up 3000 miles later.

You are a retard who cant help himself, so you will of course fail harder than I.

Unlike most people Alberto actually drives his car hard. Thus if fail is in the future (e.g. pretty much any TN build) he will accelerate it.

I have a built motor with a gtk 650 turbo on a TN kit. I have about 18k miles on it. Still pulls good.

If your going to go with a single turbo diff get the powerlabs. very nice kit boost's hard and pulls hard. should get you to about 380-420 whp on stock motor depending on your tune. If your a local boy or somewhat close to Frederick MD go see ray at PFS he will hook you up.

And again miles arent that big of a deal its luck, chance, etc... however a great install and tune makes all the difference.

Anyway man if your serious hit up intensepower.com grab the powerlabs then hit up pfsupercars.com and call Ray. good luck and happy boosting

Had my turbonetics kit for 6k now.
cant complain because of the price.
some issues ive had were leaks. cheap gaskets and v-band clamps which were included in the kit had to be replaced.
after installing the turbo i thought something was wrong since i was getting 0 boost. Reason was because the ecu was stock.
some lag. (first turbo build)

Im currently at 7psi.
car is much quieter compared to stock.
Keep in mind most tuners will use osiris tuner software which goes for 750+ tuner fee.
I was able to find a tuner which reflashes your ecu without osiris. ($350)


additional upgrades
forged rods
wiseco pistons
600cc injectors
act clutch
walbro fuelpump
I plan on installing a cutout, onceinstalled I plan to increase boost to 15psi.
