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
Yes Paul..... I do remember hearing you were wasted!!


Thanks Rich.....every little helps.......BTW..... There was a part you needed for your new setup that was a shop install only.....is that something you could get from these guys to install yourself??

I don't posts part cause its been a waste of time and I see things don't change and to also stay out of drama...yet...."best ever...even if i have no other experience with the rest of competition"...and lol and another fail bait...BTW good call mike to ask the to please cut it out.
Nicer parts =more expensive kit...similar routing...piping size. Among most st kits biggest difference have come from turbo options...we are still talking at a 35r considering that since 3 years ago when released most still are comfortable just pushing to 500whp...what ar btw?

I guess to some one requirement to make it the best is to hang around, be close location/region..and take trips to visit and be part of the group

So props to momentum as I first said a while back it only encourages competition...and more options....

Guys I must say the instructions are clear enough for a DIY. I had a guy install an APS TT kit under a tarp in the rain himself(2 days none stop). But the tuning on the other hand needs to be taken to a trusted tuner for completion(the box tune is good enough to drive on). And man I love the welds and fitment of this kit.

One suggestion if you have a clutch that has been tracked and beat for 40K REPLACE IT. This kit is a trq monster.

Have any of the shops talking about install ease ever seen/installed a Boosted performance kit? The consensus on here is that it is the easiest of all the kits out there to install, and the power levels seem to be in line.

I personally have JWT TT and after seeing what went into the install I am glad I didnt attempt it myself. If I had a larger garage with my own lift or ability to pull the motor then maybe I would have

Kudos to you!! I had mine installed over the winter here and no way could I have done it outside. Not enough time to finish it fast enough to avoid unwanted visitors

I will not pull my engine myself until I can store it indoors but thats just me.

i def give you props for that! Thats some good/fast work. About how many hours did it take you? First time? How much mechanics experience do you have?
Only reason I ask is because ~18hrs is about the norm on quotes I have seen for a TT install

That was the first time, and i really dont have an accurate estimate of actual time, but id say ~22hours, i had trouble with a stripped bolt on my kinetix plenum that ate up 5hours to try to get it out without scratching the sh*t outa it. And as far as experience, ive been working on cars pretty much every weekend for the past 3years but not professional experience since im a student

Looking like a glorified TN kit. ROFL, They still have the charge pipe resting on the turbo getting it nice and toasty.

And the price is INSANE. Its a single kit and $7k??? How about.....$4500... 350Z Parts are cheap now being that its far from the hottest car in the street now and the 370Z is boss. You can buy another car for that price!

you're more than entitled to your opinion but you not thinking it's right for you doesn't make it an inferior kit. It's a very high quality kit and it's up to people to decide what's right for them. This is a great solution for a quality single turbo kit.

and this is NOTHING like the Turbonetics kit. Not a single thing.

and now that the Z is less expensive, it's the best time to get the kits out there. The car is affordable to many more people now. Also, kits like the TN are just made in china by the lowest bidder and the performance, fitment and quality show it. None of those factors are relevant to this kit.

it is close but there is no clearance issue within the kit and little things like that can always be adjusted.
