Default 350z Turbo help

Hey there everyone,

I'm new to the forum and do NOT own a 350z, however I've been saving up for one going between 3 jobs as well as college and hope to have one within the next year or so. It seems like a big question to ask but what are some reliable turbo/turbo kits that can run high/low psi? It WILL be my summer DD. I plan on building the internals to help handle more boost but for now I'm trying to get a shopping list/prices for what I need to make it put out some good power. I should also note I'm somewhat new to the whole car scene and thought I should learn from others who are more experienced.

All suggestions and tips are greatly appreciated!

Let me be the first to tell you, focus on buying your car first and handling the maintenance. Its expensive to mod the Z, but turbos are another league of spending.

What you should do is finish school, pay off any loans you have with that money you saved, and come out of college debt free and than buy your Z after you find a real and stable job.

Are. you. serious.

Use the search button. Spend some time reading and researching. This forum is one of the best car forums in terms of available information, parts experience and knowledge. You just have to take the time to look it up.

And now I will leave this for you....

Buy the car first.
Right now you are with the dreamers that ask the questions.Make the lists of
stuff you'd add to your car once you buy it.
Take things one step at a time.
Have you DRIVEN a Z?
You may not even like it.
Get your financies stable before you do anything.

You're "new" to the car scene and planning to go FI?

Either way, f*ckin' pedophile.

Well damn guys don't gotta be rude. I'm currently going through college debt free while saving up for the Z. As well as saving up for a down payment on a house for after college. Yes I have driven a 350z and I love it. With me saying "New to the site" means I'm still figuring out how to navigate. I've researched different turbo builds but want to know what everyone else's preferences were. Don't gotta be mean ;P

Meh, I've seen worse dreamer threads. At least he has a steady income.

OP, get the car, get a feel for it when it's stock (or close), do research, and if you need clarification, then ask.
