Yeah with my subaru that was always a big concer on how to keep the intake temps lower... I am trying to do some research for a friend who owns a Z as well. I have a Garrett 40r that was going to go on the Subi but he wanted it to go on his car so i am just trying to figure out what the ideal location for the turbo is
Just for ammusement what single turbo kit do you guys like the most?

Powerlab and APS put out the best st kits. You won't be able to custom fab a kit for what you can buy a pre-made setup for. I have been around long enough to have seen more than a couple attempts. The complexity of routing the banks together, finding a proper location for the turbo, routing the exhaust off the turbo, and then thinking about fueling and timing management... just way too much to make a custom kit worth it

unless you know the intimate detailed history of the 'used' kit, you are better off staying away from one. The turbo would most likely be the least of your concerns buying used. You will be far more occupied rounding up all the little fittings, lines, brackets, clamps, and wiring that the seller forgets to include with the setup. I have installed a used kit before and, for the relatively small upfront savings, it isn't worth it. Pay more now, or a lot more later; your choice

Everybody still digging themselves out? It's snowing here in ABQ but not that bad. Well, not as bad as MN.

I wish! The best I got was a Suunto Vector watch. It's badass.

Sip guys. Not much for xmass other than clothes and some stuff for the house. The girls got a ton of stuff. My yard and drive way are all tore up because we had to put in a new main drain line. That sucked and was an extra 6k I was not looking to spend

Morning, Steve. I got some clothes, a PC game, tools, and a watch.
So did you install a drain in your garage while they were at it? Might as well make it your man cave.

Its just an OEM one, but it looks sweet.
