Greddy will give you higher tourque numbers earlier. The turbonetics spools up a little later but makes the same or more power out of the box. The Greddy is kit is VERY labor intensive and will cost you a pretty penny to install. The Turbonetics kits should install in about 10 hours. The Greddy kit requires cutting and splicing in an emanage and injectors and timing harness. The Turbonetics kit includes drop in injectors and a reflash to tune it all. The Greddy kit requires removal of the front brace. The Turbonetics retains the front brace. There are so many more...

Yea, I would say it is very hard to compare the two kits on the same level. There is one thing I read about the Turbonetics kit that i didn't really like, and that it used the factory headers. I don't have a good reason why I didn't like hearing that, I just think very quality kit would give you new manifolds and everything for a very professional turbo kit. But I still plan on the Greddy TT kit myself, cause there is alot more info out their about it and it just seems like there was a lot more R&D that went into it.
The Greddy Kit is alot more labor intensive as MIAPLAYA said so installation will cost more, but will be more fun for the ones who like to do the installing themselves
Happy Turbo Hunting..

From the prelimenary dyno chart that Turbonetics posted, the turbo spool up around 3500rpm or so, and because how the exhaust gases are routed, it seems like the lag would be worse in the Turbonetics system. I wonder would a header help the spool. The Turbonetics kit should be cheaper than the Greedy and cheaper to install. So if you don't mind a little more lag, the Turbonetics will probably save you some money (for forged internals when you up the boost).

The stock 350Z manifolds are subject to the identical thermal and stress loads as any turbocharged engine and in fact would be more likely to fail prematurely as the cast iron for N/A manifolds applications is of a very different specification to that of cast turbo manifolds (turbo manifolds are cast in a ni Resist iron with very high nickel content approx 45% nickel and designed to cope with extreme exhaust gas temperature of around 1800 to 2000 F).
Exhaust manifolds on N/A engines are designed to cope with exhaust gas temperature of around 1400 F.....................N/A manifolds when ustilised in a turbo application are going to fail for sure..............it's simply a question of when not if.
Please don't take the above comments as criticism as this is not my intention and I believe that the single turbo approach is a very viable option if engineered to the required standard............it's just that the stock nissan manifolds will not cope (will fail it's only a question of time) with the high exhaust gas temperature in a turbocharged application.

So what options do we have to upgrade them?
All the headers that would work for this type of system are designed for NA purposes. Someone would have to make them spefically for this turbo setup.
Could using high temp ceramic coatings inside and out of some mild steel or stainless headers be enough to prevent this failure?
The same coatings some use for coating turbos inside and out, they are designed to handle the extreme temperatures?

1) cast ni Resist manifolds (45% high nickel content) as APS has or,
2) Fabricate headers in 321 stainless steel (wall section would neeed to be 3 to 4 mm thick to survive) with 321 SS mounting flanges.

The cylinder head and exhaust outlet flanges will also need to be made in 321 stainless steel.
Headers made from a lesser material and thickness will simply crack and fail in no time flat................in less than 10,000 miles.

I feel a single turbo design works best with an inline 6 motor. On a V6, a twin is the way to go, so you can install the turbos right to the manifold, and you minmize lag, and maximize exhuast scavenging. On an inline 6, like a Supra or Skyline, a single turbo works exceptionally well, for the same reason...turbo is bolted to the manifold.
