We got the GTM kit in a couple of weeks ago, and it's running really well. I'm awaiting my boost controller to arrive tomorrow, so it's only been running wastegate spring pressure (5psi). Once that is in, I will turn up the boost and get it on the dyno for some tuning. Right now I have it running pretty rich up top and not much timing.

Hey rockstar350, do you know Joe with an 08 Nismo? He lives up near you I believe.

^^^ No, I'm not sure I know Joe. I consider myself new to area. I recently moved down from MN.

Glad to hear the car is running great! Are you running Osiris on the new kit?

Well, there's gonna be a TT Nismo running around the Twin Cities area soon, watch out

Yes, I am running the Osiris right now. Thinking about trying out the ProEFI though.

Nothing fancy, just a TurboXS High Performance manual boost controller. It performs similar to an EBC; it will let boost build up to its set limit before opening the wastegates.

Just noticed where you mounted the Greddy Catch Can. Looks great. I should have thought about putting it there as well. What is the benefit of adding the K&N filter to it?

I may asked you before but what are the specs on your tires?

I don't have the can there anymore, I've moved it again lol. I'll get a pic of the new location tomorrow.

The reason I had the filter on it was because I had it vented to atmosphere instead of recirculating, but I was getting a little too much crankcase pressure causing a tiny bit of smoking on decel. This time around, I'm running it from the drilled out PCV, through the can, and back into the turbo intake tube. This way not only smells better and keeps the engine bay cleaner, it has stopped all signs of smoke.

I'm sure those TCZC guys already know who you're referring to. Similar setup as yours?

I was thinking about ProEFI as a future setup also. Sucks that not very many tuners are familiar with this EMS setup.

His setup will be pretty much the same as mine, except mine has the 3" downpipes w/ ext wastegates, Joe's will have the internal gates.

If the ProEFI stuff is as good as SP says it is, I'm sure a lot more tuners will get on board.

Nice. Looks like it fit well. Does the location of the catch can matter or did you put it there so it's out of sight? Just trying to see if there is an added benefit by installing it at different locations.

I put it there because it's out of sight and seemed to be the best place to mount it, since there was a huge void there after removing all of the evap and TB water lines behind the plenum.
