Well title says you're scared. If u have a FI car. Why have both? Keep the z as a DD and have your weekend toy like u do. Keep the z n/a. End of story id say.

Ask around on who you bring it to. Everyone says they can tune but I've been to 3 shops... and everyone wants their 500 bux for a tune, AND they all say the same thing: "You should have brought it to us first" Still taking it somewhere else... 4th time.

Not a good way to start a turbo thread.

Well, I'm surprised to see this post from you after your last thread you posted here.

You seemed pretty confident in your prior thread that you could make it work. Why the sudden change of heart now?

The fact you're asking about a TN kit says it all to me.

OP keep the Z N/A. That's what I ended up doing. If you want a boosted daily why not buy a GT-R? They are in a decent price range now.

OP you already answered your own question.... you just want boost to "look cool" and you are going to drive like a grandma anyway....

seems like a waste of time and money... + boosting a VQ daily driver is seldom a good idea(especially with a TN kit)....

tune to MBT and 11.5 AFR after 3500 rpms at whatever psi it takes to make 380whp on a dynojet and you'll be just fine.
