nice numbers, even in so cali i would be worried about having it exposed like that.

 

i wonder what part do u need to take off to pass emissons. Also any making over 450whp?

 

There is one making 600whp but he has a 3.8L motor and with race gas... Don't like the power curve but they are going to switch to a smaller hot side so it is a waiting game.. If you want big power then I would go with the powerlab or TT but for stock motor and power below 400whp then you cant beat the price and what you get...

 

The first 2 G35 kit was installed by Julian and we both live in NYC, trust me if this kit can survive NYC potholes then it can survive any place..This has been discussed a million times... the turbo is tucked all the way up and the only way to see it is to really get down on the floor and stick your head underneath to see it. Also the turbo getting stolen theory is also bogus... a turbo cost around $1000, my wheels cost 3 time more than the turbo.. they can have my turbo I can have my wheels... also they have to wait for a long time before the turbo cool down for them to remove it. Lastly if you spend that much money on your car why would would you park your car in a questionable area? If they want your car then they'll tow that sucker and there is nothing you can do.....

 

/\ lol... I think I'll post a pix of my turbo coz that thing still look good and clean after over a year (1 year and 3 months to be exact) .. as a matter of fact my turbo look better than some of the used turbo for sale on this site... I like it when I pop the hood and people assume were the turbo is... when I tell the it is in the back they all look at me like I'm crazy!!! Some wont even look in the back coz they think it is prank...

 

Looks like you got tuned at japtrix

lawl

 

now on these turbos that go in the back do you guys still Fab a custom intake or filter to them or not?

 

No fab work since it is kit so everything is done for you. the filter is also protected by a shield and the filter has a cover/jacket that you can wash.... Here are some pix..

 

Thats a nice looking kit but looks like there may be interference if people run the dual exhaust.

 

Like I said before this thing dont need aftermarket exhaust to make power so why would you waste your money on one? The kit is built for stock exhaust.... Same as TN needing fab work to work with dual exhaust.

 

Because most people already put an exhaust on before they spend money on FI. I read what you said, but some people would want a system that is already compatible if they have made upgrades to the car. Thats all.

 

That is why you plan a head.... Also not all exhaust will work with all Turbo kit.. for example if you want an APS then you need to use their exhaust and if you want TN then you need more work if you have a dual exhaust. Also there is one Vortech owner who switch to STS and he sold his aftermarket exhaust so that is extra money for him. I know lots of people who went FI and had to change their exhaust coz it wasn't compatible or at least wasn't giving the result they wanted... This is why I always tell people to plan ahead coz what is the point of buying CAI if you are going FI, or what is the point of getting Headers if you know you are going TT...

 

Whatever man, I'm not trying to bag on what you did, just trying to point out what I observed from your photos. Congrats to you and your STS, I've gone with the Vortech so to each his own. And I paid less for the Vortech full kit with HKS dual than your full kit price so its really a matter of preference.

 

lol.. I'm not arguing I'm just saying every situation is different.. I'm an open minded man and like I said this kit is good for stock motor but I would look somewhere else if you want big power so I'm not your average nuthugger... Also there are at least 2 350Z who had the Vortech and got fed up and switched to STS. To each his own so if you are happy with vortech then good for you.
