Oh well, I might as well jump the band wagon!!!
You dint know Chit just like the other guys have said!!!
Maybe TN owner sell their kit but for some other reason like wanted to go TT for more power. I have a ST and have mine for 7 months and I am very happy and have no plan of selling my car or the kit. FYI, I just had my NY Car Inspection and I passed with flying colors with my STS Turbo without cheating!!
People who spent $20K+ are the one who are actually pushing 500+whp buddy. I spend a third of that and I'm pushing 365whp with no Leak (exhaust, Oil, Fuel...) My only problem is that my car make this sound when I let go of the GAS Pedal... WWWWooooooSSSSShhhhhhhh!
Greddy kit has one of the highest potential out there. Just like XKR, most Greddy that has a Built Engine are all running close to 600whp
So what if the car run a little rich? Are you f'king concern that you are eating up more fuel? Turbo/SC go rich at WOT and on load (boost) so are you complaining about the exhaust coming out while running 60-100mph? is your exhaust routed back inside your car?

The G's aren't really made for forced induction and i've seen people spending over 20k and barely pushing 350hp to the wheels.

Amd most people who turbo their car are running rich to prevent "detonation".

Ive driven a single Z, and ridden in a TT Z. The single Z had great low/mid range hp/tq. But loses it up high. TT Z was very well rounded and had a very smooth power band, and steady pull. The single was a Turbonetics and the twin was an APS.

If the sound get bad after the TP then I'll get this http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/s...ne=main&id=845, I know one with this on his STS kit and help reduce the noise.
