new twin turbo 350z owner
Hello everybody in 350z land. After lusting over the lines on the 350z for more than 10 years I bought a 04 350 that has twin turbos installed. I have been lurking on the forum for a while and am ready to step in to the shark infested water, and talk with some nice people. I have so many questions, most have been answered by the new owner post.
The car came up on ebay . It is burnt orange(my favorite color) and was a good price. The added bonus was, of course, the twin turbo kit,and the added stuff that comes with the upgrade. Its a 04
, had 90,000 on the od. and the car dealer that had it listed assured me that it was in good condition and was a dream to drive.
A week later im driving it home at one in the morning on the freeway going 160 mph. the car is great, its fast, runs great, and boy do I get the looks.
Here is the thing, I know a little about cars, but turbos and such don't have any experience with. here are some general questions.
1. I know these cars come stock with 280 or so hp, and the car has a greaddy tt kit on it, which can add between 150 and 200 hp. is this correct? is it save to assume its over 450 hp? I think its the touring edition before anyone asks.
2 its got a boost guage and it was working till I took it to auto zone for a check engine light (bad o2 sensor) and now its not, but the boost wasn't getting over 5 pounds. I read that you don't want to go over 20 unless you sleeve the cylinders. is this right? that's it for now, look forward to hearing from everyone ......

I mean, no one lives in North Dakota as it is, but still.
Unless ND means negligent discharge.
Either way, same messy results.

Tony must be a true man if he has lived in cities with more people. Wow was it scary for him? Who is tony? He should get a medal. Strange, I have lived in a city with 8 times the population of nd. Am I as good as tony? What a man, I say

Tony is a true man. It was not scary. I am Tony. I have a lot of medals. Congrats on the city you lived in since you're the one that felt it was important enough to tell everyone how many people reside in Nort dakota. No, you're not. You damn right.

I thought that on here I could find some intelligent life forms, ones at the very least could understand sarcasm....the akward moment when your sarcasm is so advanced, people think you are stupid, "it wasn't scary"
