Brad called me back yesterday but I was at work with a customer and missed the call. I'm going to give him a call back today.

Update time guys...Just got off the phone with Brad..Right now the issue is the 04 ECU. Nissan has managed to do a HELL of a job in throwing a monkey wrench into tuning the 04 ECU for boost. Aparentlly Tadashi just had to go back to Japan to re-work some stuff because the 04 ECU flash wasn't working right. They are working on it and it shouldn't be too much longer. Once again I told them to take their time. I can live without my Z for a while longer in an effort to ensure that everyone recieves a quality kit that is guranteed to work. Again I must say that I am absolutely thrilled that Turbonetics is willing to go the extra mile to make sure that their tuning solution is the most complete and reliable one available. As I told them many times..its better to wait for a complete solution then to get a half@ss setup that might fail. And they of course could not agree more. Tadashi should be back soon and then we'll see how everything goes. Either way I'm happy to let them toy away with my Z to make sure everyone esle gets exactly what they want..

Yeah they ECUs are coded to our keys so thats not going to work. Although I wonder if it would be possible to program an 04 ECU with a 03 program. Not sure if it even works like that but hey it would be worth to find out.

That kit is awesome, they even made it so you can keep your dual exhaust.

I think the APS kit will have a lot less lag, because the distance the turbo is from the exhaust manifolds is supstantially less.

I wouldn't say the Turbonetics kit has as much lag as people make out to have. They start building boost at like 2500. Did you guys see the dynochart?

Turbonetics Evolution Wastegate
Turbonetics Raptor BOV
Technosquare Reflashed ECU
380 CC injectors (RC I beleive but dont quote me)
Walbro 255 Fuel Pump
Spearco Front Mount Intercooler
All exhaust piping Stainless Steel (polished)
All intake piping Stainless Powder Coated Black Chrome
Turbonetics Air Cleaner
Case of TS-1 Synthetic Oil

I think thats it..

Well the A/f was pretty far off. they were dipping into the 9.5-10/1AFRs. That was the first dyno they ran after adding the Walbro 255 fuel pump and they hadn't yet started making adjustments to the fuel map.

This kit replaces the ypipe with a single downpipe from the turbo to the midpipe.
