Default Noobie with a question

Hello everyone, I bought a 350Z Enthusiast about 3 months ago, and so far I love this car!!! I am thinking about customizing a few things on it.
First of all I wanted to add the NISMO R-tune cold air intake (since I heard it doesn't void your warranty).
Second I wanted to get the sunroof installed and I was wondering if anybody has already done this and how much it ran them for?
And third I kinda wanted to get the twin turbo installed but then I found it It will run me around 6k and will definitely void the warranty so I decided to hold off on that one. If anybody here had that installed could you tell me how bad that changed your miles per gallon situation?

Thanks!

bro, if you can afford turbo for your car you shouldn't worry about mpg by the way tt will run you 6k just for kit and maybe w/intercooler with very good tune and installation maybe 10k. good luck!

Twin turbonators has helped my low end side. It'll help compensate especially if you decide to go FI and don't want too much turbo lag.

Chebosto has a sunroof I think...For a good and reliable TT set-up you are def. looking at about 10 grand. MPG will depend on how much hp you go to. A guy I know with the JWT kit got pretty good gas mileage whereas Alberto with his lower boost setting(520whp, I think) if I remember correctly, said he got like 12mpg when in boost.

If the dealer does not install the CAI then you will not be warrantied!

Your wanting to buy a 6K turbo and wanting to know how the MPG are going to be? If you asked that ?, then you don't need a turbo!
