Only two places I can think of.

SGP and Lightspeed. Not sure what the number is, you can find it on the web.

hmmm, anyone know of a company named silviawerks? i got some recommendations for them too.....lightspeed gave me a 1600 quote. thats just for install, no tuning. do you have to tune the turbonetics kit? or is that what the reflash does? hmmm, im confused now..i hate it when i confuse myself!

Silviaworks is out in Katy. Never heard anything about their work quality. When it comes to 350z's and turbos the only place I would go to is SGP racing. Go visit the store and talk to Kyle and you'll know why. Don't be stingy when it comes to install and tuning cause it'll cost more if not done right.

Kyle (SGP) told me it would cost between $1400-$1600 and would take 2-3 days.

whenever i get it in. so probably its going in to sgp in about 2 weeks, maybe sooner,the kit was ordered about 2 weeks ago. soon, all i have to do is wait patiently. i gotta take off my rims and put the stock ones on. the only thing i wanna do is take out the black grill on the front oem bumper so i can show off the intercooler, is that possible? i wanna drop it off on a monday and pick it up on a thursday or friday. kyle said its possible. i see why not.

the grill on the stock bumper is molded to it so the only way to get it off is by cutting.

Sounds good, maybe your car will be there when i pick up mine. They are putting in my custom turbo setup for my I30, should be done in a week or so. Good luck to you and have fun BoostN.

keep us updated on the install - I'm really torn between this and the APS ST and would like to know how SGP handles the install (since that will be who is doing mine) - I'm waiting to hear what changes TNetics is coming out with for the G (some sort of dual channeling of air to the intercooler for stock/Nismo bumpers)

Good luck man!
