Anyone recognize this Turbo install?

Hey guys. New here... wondering if anyone might recognize this turbo install. There is a used 2006 g35 for sale, but the dealer that has it, doesn't have any info on the turbo. Here is the only pic I have (so far).

Anyone got any clues?

+2 It's a JWT for sure.

If you look just after the intake you should see where it splits to become the fresh air intakes for each turbo and there is a "JWT" stamp on it.

If it is indeed a JWT, I'd be weary just incase it came from VRT...

Since they have no info, if I were to assume this car has a base JWT TT kit in a standard state of tune... what do you think the power figures would be for the car? Just want to get an idea of the rough range?

Btw, thanks guys... the help here was awesome, and -fast-.

You took the words right out of my mouth . . . or my keyboard . . . whatever. Be very careful. VRT did a lot of JWT TT installs. And if that is the case here, run, don't walk away from this G.

There are a lot of stock block VRT JWT TT cars out there doing very well. The issue with VRT was more motor building because the JWT kit was very complete from the start.

That being said you should always be cautious when buying a car with aftermarket FI. I would have a compression/leak down test done and then look into having it re-tuned or at least check the exiting tune at a good shop.

I would bet this car is in the 370-400whp/wtq range.
