Default Is it safe? Turbo/supercharged

Hello, any advise can help. I have a 05 touring Z with Injen ses True dual exhaust, APS 2.5'' test pipes, Motordyne MREV2, Motordyne 5/16 plenum spacer, AEM cal, JWT clutch, Uprev tuned by Dynosty/Injected Performance. Is it safe to twin turbo, or supercharge or will I have to remove some of the mods, I tried reading forums but I couldn't find the answer; thank you guys for your time.

Safe as long as you do it right - look for a kit that was made for your z…all your existing modification will nicely support a twin turbo setup.

You'll lose the cold air intake but other than that everything will mesh fine.

stay under 425whp to 450whp until you build your block.

Look to add a oil cooler and larger injectors, you may want to upgrade your fuel system to a return style system.

Safe and F/I are usually mutually exclusive when it comes to VQs. You will find guys that have driven for years at 400whp there guys that ventilated the block in less than 1K miles. Dynosty is a solid shop and your tune has much to do with longevity.

The car is great fun in F/I trim, but it is much less reliable. Assuming you have the DE engine, you have the weakest of the lot. Just be mentally prepared to digest the cost of an engine replacement and re-tune when you go F/I and all will be fine. Having another DD is nice as well.
