You will be throwing your money away with the Stillen SC. Probably one of the worst Forced Induction kits ever made for the money.

If you are going supercharged, stick with the Vortech or HKS. If you are going turbo, well, you have a ton of options which you will have to read up on.

I really love the Brembo's but i can always put those on the newer models since they seem to be the best since the high rev? Does all my logic sound correct?

Thanks
the 05+ 6MTs rev higher, but it is revplay more than actual power; they don't have as severe a power drop off after peak power.

the Brembos can be added to ANY car, but I have a feeling you're gonna get something bigger than the OEM Brembos if you do get a BBK... *cough* akebono *cough*

a TT kit is probably your best bet; it'll give you room for future expansion. The Stillen gives GOBS of low end torque, but is rather limiting if you're planning to eventually go huge power.

Yea i was reading up on the TT kits and im liking the Greddy one so far. How easy is it to install? Need to pull engine? I did the turbo kit on the spec myself and tuned it using a Apexi SAFC and a wideband. The problem with my spec was that we couldn't do reflashes on the ECU so from what ive read most you guys get it dyno tuned and then reflash the ecu so you dont need to worry about the tune drifting...

Thanks for the info so far, i know how newbies can get frustrating with there questions that are answered in the stickies and im sure im missing some info but i thank you guys for not completly flaming the **** out of me

Def stay away from the stillen as i got it in mid 2003 cause everything else was blowing motors.I had all 4 stages and it does have some low end grunt but falls on its face in the upper rev's.
Ok with the greddy twins it is night and day difference in power between them and any s/c.I installed my stillen myself and said to myself i can do the twins to................i sometimes wish i had paid someone to do it.It was the biggest pain in the but to do with the engine in the car and i used up a lot of cheap wrenches in the process.I had to bend and cut and twist wrenches in all sorts of ways to get at certain bolts and the greddy instructions suck major *****.
I would not try it again even though i now the short cuts to take.Good luck on what you decide to do.

Wow, surprised i got respect lol. Most people that dont know me go on about how im not old enough and cant afford...etc. Anyways the Greddy TT kit does not come with a IC so does it not come with IC piping either? I would like a complete kit thats bolt on for the most part. (for my spec i actually had to drill a hole in the block for the oil return line).

As far as the car goes ive been in the photo section checking out all the rides trying to decide on what color i want. Im a big fan of black cars with gold rims and some carbon fiber, At the same time i love the look of these pearl white ones with black or gold rims and carbon fiber accents. I have to say when i decided to get a new car a month or so ago i was at first thinking a 93 rx7 or supra and after seeing how sick some of your g35's are im extremely won over. I had no idea there was this much aftermarket for the G.

O and to add im not making this which is better thread because i know all about SC and Turbo's and there differences but between the FI members here about how many would you guys say are SC compared to turbocharged... or if there is a poll somewhere.

haha people give you a hard time on how you couldn't afford it, haha some people give me head aches on HOW i did it

Greddy TT kit doesn't come with an intercooler but BUY ONE haha, they sell it seperately i know that but i dont know why, but i'd buy it hahah

SC vs Turbo? Hell yes many infos...just search...in the FI sections....too mannyyy....I'd go a turbo over a sc, but with california laws i went sc...

yea, do you know if it at least comes with the IC piping? I like the greddy but the APS also looks like a good one too. After reading the info for the APS i cant tell if the kit has two of the same sized turbo's like the Greddy kit or if they are offset.

Ok i didnt want to make a stupid new post for this. I remember a thread i had read listed all the different G35 coupe packages and it listed what they included (touring, etc...) After searching i cannot find this thread for the life of me. I thought it was stickied some were but if someone can just link me or tell me which model has the LSD and black leather seats that would be great. O this would be for a 05-06 model too.
