So after owning my 05 350z for about a year and a half and driving it for about 12k (just hit 31k) miles as my daily driver and putting a good amount of money into the performance, I realize that i want more power. I currently have the HKS true duel exhaust, Fast Intention resonated test pipes, skunk2 plenum spacer, a weapon R intake, and of coarse the Uprev tune on it making a wopping 270ish whp I realize now i want more power but i also want to change my current set up completely. I want to put the momentum single exhaust and a cosworth intake manifold on the car before i purchase the momentum performance single turbo. What do you guys think of the new set up as compaired to keep the old parts and adding the turbo on top? I know with the single turbo the intake and test pipes would be removed, and I would need to have a custom pipe fabricated to use the current HKS exhaust, but i feel that if i added these new parts it would maximize the performance of this already great turbo kit. Here's some current pictures of the car. feel free to add your own suggestions...

Might want to read the stickies in this section before you get flamed for a dreamer thread but....either setup will be fine but if i was you I'd put the money from the cosworth plenum into something more useful like LSD.

that kit comes with basically everything. u can hack up your hks exhaust build a reverse y from a local muffler shop. the intake obviously wont be used sell it, the spacer sell it, your momentum kit will come with a taller spacer. if you got pulleys keep em. use your stock upper and you'll be at 400hp 380-400 tq, my buddy lives in estero fla and has a 400hp powerlab 03 350z on 9lbs. and thats just the spacer no cosworth manifold.

get the jwt stage 2 clutch kit and flywheel, feeeeel the differennceee.., and gears. maybe a diff brace. the guy with the pwrlab z has had his rear bushing blown out for like a year.. pain in the *** but there is a diy on here for it. the brace should just help with wheel hop and the rear end movement keep some life in that bushing longer. theres also solid bushings. when the boost hits in this car the car is sideways, every gear.. the rear end gets abused.

these kits are pricey and beautiful wish i could afford one + install + tuned. good luck in your endeavors.

It's the touring model so i already have an a stock LSD in the car.

I know i can chop um my exhaust already but i just love the sound and the way single exhaust looks on the Z. Also i already have a stage 2 competition clutch and flywheel.

Nah the wheels look good already, I am changing the rivets from gold to red though

Although my car is awaiting boost, why do you need a 1.5 thousand dollar diff? Maybe if it's a drift car, but for a street car is the improved launch really worth it?
Could spend the money on an ecu, or better yet tires, so the car handles better. I love my r888's, although loud, the provide serious grip. Although they are reeeall soft I still think it's worth it.

A true lsd is only going to shine going sideways and on a dead launch. Think to yourself, how many times do you launch the car from a complete stand-still on a street car?

because i like the look and sound of the single exit exhaust better. also so i wont have to hack up my current exhaust to make it work.
