That is a clean setup. It looks like a single turbo. Is a single usually more reliable than a twin? I'm tempted to hold off and check out that system. I know that turbos are almost always going to give you more power than a comparable supercharger. My main concern is always reliability.

Ernie, regarding the Axis Mod 7's. I love them. In fact, those were the rims I had ordered up in L.A. and they are getting chromed now as we speak. They are a staggered setup (20x9 & 20x10). I was going to put them on the Brickyard Z that I'm now selling. Since I already have the rims ordered in chrome...and you seem to like them...how about a decent offer and they're yours.
Mia, thanks for the info on the Turbonetics kit. I just checked out their website http://www.turboneticsinc.com/index.html and didn't see too much info for the Z yet. At this point I'm pretty set on the supercharger. It costs a little more but I like what I've read about the system so far.

As for reliable Turbonetics is tuning this to be very reliable thats why they are stopping at 409 and 8 PSI. That turbo is efficient to just over 550. They have compressor maps on their page. Its the T04E-60 that the closet one to the turbo they are using. I'll Pm you with a little more info I got from Brad at Turbonetics.

Hey can someone help me. I want to reconnect my origional antenna. The reception on my roof antenna isn't as good. Just need to unplug the roof and reattach the stock one. So basically just need to pull the stock head unit out and switch plugs. I'm not good at that stuff, only with Vinyl.
