and before you go jumping on the turbo bandwagon, how many miles are on that 14 year old $5k tired car you bought?
remember, i dont think that kit includes fuel delivery, tuning, etc etc etc, not to mention install..... this is a typical noob dreamer thread
and the obligatory video, check out the FI section

If you think this is "boring advice", fine. But here's the questions that you need to ask yourself (and answer yourself honestly):
1. Can you drive the car up to 80% of its capability? And do it well?
2. Do you have the money, time and patience to add the supporting mods? Figure on something, say, on the order of $7-9k (easily the value - or more - of the car; and that's a conservative estimate) to DO IT RIGHT? And if you have to ask "What supporting mods?", you're NOT ready.
Another word of advice... if you want serious, well thought out answers, provide serious background, usage, goals, budget NOT just a picture of a kit. This isn't Facebook where questions on complex issues seem to be a expressed in single lines. Read the build threads here for some examples of well thought out plans and resulting questions surrounding specific applications for power, handling, braking, etc. And yes, #drivingschool is the right answer, however uncool it might sound compared to hardware.

Sound like I'm repeating myself? Yep, I most certainly am. I've been modifying cars for 40-some years and trust me, I've made every mistake in the book at one time or another. I made the decision waaaaay early on to listen to guys more experienced than me, question that advice, and have never regretted doing so. The key is to listen and use common sense plus fact checking what "seems right but may not be entirely true" before doing anything. So again, what you do with this is up to you, after thinking it through. Enjoy your Z!
