Since we are dealing with the VQ35DE(T) that hasn't seen the full potential untapped yet, I suppose the possibility is there to make more power than you'd normally expect - we shall see. Tuning will probably be the key.

I know Brad and Jahme were talking about running like 20 PSI and making about 600 RWHP

It's safe to assume someone can get a "tuner kit" and then get whatever additional components they will need additionally to reach this HP on our motor, and it's all going to work?
Or is the tuner kit going to simply include larger turbos, and then it's up the the purchaser to contend with the setup afterwards to gain the additional HP?
What's going to be included in the tuner kit?
What is going to be needed additionaly?
Obviously the motor needs to be built up, you'll need some kind of Fuel Management, or is ECU reflashing going to continue to work? If reflashing is going to work, what kind of pricing is T.S. going to offer to make the flash to support the various configurations that people may come up with?
I forget how boost is controlled with this kit, if it's not a big deal can you copy/paste or briefly explain how this will be handled outside the "regular kit"?
This is NOT a bash thread, I'm just bringing up things that need to be thought about by those that are less than "expert" turners/car junkies.

The bigger turbo talk was about my plans. I'm sure Turbonetics can offer that to any customer, but it is CUSTOM, not an option on every kit.

I figured as much, but 50+ pages of posts, I'm certain the newer people coming into this thread are NOT notating all of it, and since this particular page had the most content about the tuner kit, I thought it a good place for a "footmark" to remind those "a tuner version is going to need more attention/components and it's not just "more bolt on power".

I imagine that those that buy the tuner kit will be looking at running their own engine and fuel management system. An ECU reflash can only take you so far. During my visit last week to LA, I spoke to Tadashi at TechnoSquare, and he mentioned that the stock ECU can only handle about 12-14psi of boost before he runs out of resolution. Beyond that, an eManage or stand alone would be required to really tune the car.

Kinda what turned me off from the Greddy, Vortech, etc with the drilling of the pan... though I guess there are other concerns with other kits compared to the Turbonetics which seems to be much more simple (I like the drop in injectors, no grinding of the fuel rail, and no soldering with the injectors... oh and no complicated piggy back wiring/soldering)

The APS kit replaces the wiring harness to nicely allow for piggyback.

But for some reason typing fast I didn't catch it, on my last car (02 Civic SI) the Greddy kit required you to drill the OEM pan unlike the Greddy kit for the 350Z
Also good to find out about a flash program for the Greddy kit, I was actually wondering if it was out there since Hondata (Honda/Acura ECU folks) offers multiple flash programs for some kits. So good to know this TS offers another choice.
