Some Changes in the 2005, TT Options?

I got this from one of my clients:

"I do have some interesting news about my late edition (last production run for 2005, 6MT), which I believe the earlier/ 1st production runs, 2005 G35 6MT did not have.

The super charger kits from Vortec will NOT mount on my car.....Infiniti engine changes.....found out the hard way today.....bought Vortec and it will not work. Vortec was totally surprised when we called them and kit is going back to them.
Also the ECU has different parameters on it, example no rev cut out at 6600 RPM, I can up to 8000RPM, although I have only gone 7200 or 7300 RPM. The guys at technosquare who reflash the ECU are also surprised and not sure what to do as this time. No one has been able to confirm the changes to the ECU..????

I do have a question for you:

Since I cannot run the Vortec supercharger and due to the new unkown ECU parameteres, whom have you heard has the BEST and most RELIABLE twin turbo charger set up with program software for the ECU....Greddy, APS or others. Please pass what information you may have on to me."


Any insights/opinions from the TT gurus here?

Thanks

He already said he can rev past 7200-7300 without the cut out.

Are not '05 6MT's have " variable valve timing " which help boost the stock hp up to 298. Guess its an excuse for you to go APS, heh?

Unhappy

ok, just got off the phone w/ DJ from CP Racing, and its not good. He said it will not fit the 05 6MTs only the 05 5AT's. Vortech themselves didnt know about this problem. But they are developing a kit for the 35th Anniv edition Z, so once thats done, they might be able to fit it in a 05 6MT.

CP Racing has handles this situation like gentlemen and have done everything possible to make sure i was happy and not felt cheated. Big thanks to them, and now i just have to wait for this kit to come out so i can have CP Racing install it.

What things about the engine are tell tale signs that i have a version of the car that the Vortech doesn't work on? Does Vortech know yet?

Thanks for any direction you can provide.
it wont work on any 05 6MT
