I have only seen the Greedy Tuner kits. You get what you pay for! The turbo's aren't as reliable in the long run as the garrets. I plan to keep my Z hopefully for many more years to come, so I choose to do everything the best way possible the first go around.

I wouldn't buy the Greddy turn key kit because it comes with emanage and 440cc injectors. The tuner kit is reliable with the right supporting mods. That can be said for any turbo kit though. I'm curious to know how their turbo’s aren't reliable? I haven’t seen or heard of any of the 20G kits failing. It's a quality kit IMO. Not flaming, just my opinion .

You can get the Greddy kit for about $5800 shipped. Base your purchase on your goals and what you'll be using the
car for.

This is for turn key or do you need to purchase fuel management on top of that price?

That's for the tuner kit you still have to get the fuel pump, injectors, and ems.

Sounds to me like you would be better off buying the GTM TT turn key kit with Garrett turbos and UPREV software instead of old school technology 20G's.

I meant Albertos car is so slow with his mediocre DE and stone age 18G's. Give me a break.

The question about where to get these $5800 kits is still out there. Every site I've been on, they have been around $7000. So where would I start looking for a $5800 Greddy HR TT kit? Other than the used classifieds on this site, lol.

I would'nt recommend any turn key kit. Every car is different. You need to get the car dyno tuned after install. What are you doing about supporting mods? You think you can just slap a super charger or turbo charger on and be good to go?

Please explain how the 20G's are old school technology.

That's for the tuner kit. Add about another 5k to 8k on top of that for a complete build.

Get the turn key kit with UPREV software and then have it tuned on the dyno at your local UPREV authorized tuner shop.

The GTM TT kit gives you Garrett GT series ball bearing turbos instead of 20G journal bushing/bearing turbos (older technology).

just from personal experience I would rather have journal bearing turbos than BB..... less to go wrong and less expensive to rebuild..... spool time is negligable.... ask mdhrz.... his 20g's spin pretty good and a local guy jtgli has 18g's and we we're out today and that thing pulls soo hard!!!
