They can make great HP numbers and nice TQ curves, but not close to the same TQ peaks, thus I agree with djamps.

Not everyone will want more, but realistically most people do.

Numbers were on a dynojet w/ wiseco low compression (8.8:1) extreme duty piston/rod kit... also like I stated we got rid of the turbonetics 60-1 turbo and replaced it with a garrett gt3582r turbo, custom built for my z.

Momentum Performance makes an awesome single turbo kit. A lot of testing an r&d went into making the kit. From the packaging to the fitment, this kit is going to be the best bang for your buck. Give us a call if you'd like more information or have any questions. 770-792-0202

Actually the Boosted Performance kit is the best bang for the buck. It will make the same power and is cheaper and easier to install = bang for the buck. The Momentum kit has a nicer box though.

I don't sell any single turbo kits and i don't have a single turbo on my car. No commission here not trying to sell you anything

Yeah I have to agree with the majority of the posts here. Im still learning about tc and sc systems, setups and related cost of parts, tunes, fixes etc.

The 1 person I personally know that has a boosted Z started with a vortech. He installed it himself( I helped) and did everything but the tune. I dont know the final price of everything but I think it passed the 10k mark. I wont lie, I have posted on forums about boost setups (a pipe dream I guess) and never went through, but my questions still had valid points, even if I did not go through with it, so I dont think people should hate simply because he is asking and not delivering. Forums arent exactly PERFECT in seachable topics but you can deff get a ton of information. Not to mention that boosting probably has about 1000+ threads ( all with some valid points) that should be read, and are imposible to read and retain. Not to mention the information in said threads isnt 100% reliable, since all drivers, cars, motors, situations and shops differ.

OP, its ok to dream, just for the sake of the troll and overall keyboard gangstas here and on other forums use google, and the search bar. My .5c

waiting for tl;dr in 3....2.....1....

The OP's last activity was the day she wrote the question. Maybe she went to a fire and died in it despite not being ordered to do so.

Perhaps the whole story was a troll.
