Rich.... You are always plotting dyno sheets on here .... I am shocked that you have not post a Momentum vs Powerlab as yet
Raj and Sam....cut it out
I have seen the PL a few times at FP and JTran .... But I have never seen the Momentum in person ... I have seen Hal's post and I trust his opinion 100%..... But could someone please explain to a novice like me why most are saying this is a superior kit??? I get the customer service statement....but to someone like me both look the same! Is it because of the ... ie: Turbo selection, bends, BOV placement???...What?

And you said it yourself you don’t have experience with the PL kit… but part of the allure of a single turbo kit is a simpler install versus a twin turbo kit... at least that was part of the reason I selected my turbo kit, install took me 3 days in a small 2 car garage with nothing more than basic hand tools, a floor jack, and 2 jack stands; by no means am I mechanically inclined, just an average enthusiast.
But then again I don’t have any firsthand experience with the momentum kit either, you’ve installed it so I’d have to take your word that it’s not a DIY friendly kit, lol

The Boosted Performance single is a very easy DIY from what I have heard. So i am not sure how they can say NO single kits are DIY friendly
i could care less I am far from in the market for a ST kit but this thread is awkward it is like the shops are trying to push it too hard something just seems weird. With statements about how it is the best ST kit ever then followed up by statements about how the shop hasn't even seen a Boosted Performance or a Power Lab kits. This thread is just not flattering for the product for some reason...maybe it just seems that way to me???? Like i said I don't have a single kit nor I am looking to get one and i don't nut hug any of the shops but this thread is not flattering for the kit or some of the shops that seem to pushing it way too hard???Don't get me wrong it is great to see people developing products for a vehicle no longer in production and Momenum seems like good guys that support our community (Z days, Nissan Sport ect) so big props to them but this thread seems like a poor representation of them?? IMO anyway!!

I don’t think that’s necessarily true either, lol

So i am not sure how they can say NO single kits are DIY friendly i could care less I am far from in the market for a ST kit but this thread is awkward it is like the kit is being jammed down your throat or the shops are trying to push it too hard something just seems weird. With statements about how it is the best ST kit ever then followed up by statements about how the shop hasn't even seen a Boosted Performance or a Power Lab kits. This thread is just not flattering for the product for some reason...maybe it just seems that way to me????

You reacted better than i would have 
. I guess all threads that threaten the established kits would likely end up the same on this forum

Its tough to find reasonable comparisons. Lots of people post #'s but no charts. Here's the best that I have (just hp to keep the graph cleaner)
You can see there is not a huge difference between all the single kits in how they spool up. from a GT35 to a twin scroll 4088. All at different boost levels, but that doesnt matter too much bc boost is just backpressure. Id say differences in engine builds could easily account for the differences seen, plus not to mention dyno difference

I do remember the momentum folks, nice guys. They also recently had a track day and their cars survived it with flying colors - says a lot since that is not easy on any car especially fi modified z's. The track is a true test of quality IMO
