Have tried Borla,Stillen, and Magnaflow exhaust.I'm sure i can get another 15 or 20 out of the 08. The 05 never got tuned.


240 & 262 = 300-325

I voted yes as someone who did the install of twin turbo kit himself in driveway on jackstands in a week. I would do it all over again without a question. Also, I haven't even gotten to drive the car yet! Still waiting on my injectors.

Yes. And this says it all.


Some have blown up their engines trying to achieve their goals and had to almost start back at square 1 to get to their goal...

If I had it to do over I wouldnt have gone with a SCer . I would have gone turbo . Now I have a car with a motor built to handle big HP with no forced induction at all . Ive lost interested and dont have enough extra cash that I want to spend on it . Some one willing to buy it ?

How about walking a GTR?


(Sorry Paul - it was fun though - surprised how well your very lightly modded GTR kept up - no way that is just 400 rwhp!!!)

Same boat man, I remember the first time I got under my car to put on my first exhaust system (HKS). The whole entire time I was more thinking about the jackstands and wondering if they gave out would I be lucky to have a fast death hahaha. Now i don't even think twice but I always check twice lol.

I haven't turbocharged mine yet but I see turbocharging a G as an investment with returns AS LONG AS I do not sell it and go to a different make because that would make the money, time spent and knowledge gained on this make/model a complete waste. I see people here selling FIed Gs and going to a different make all the time even though staying put and solving issues is cheaper with greater return than buying something new.
The returns are running the car on US made E85 which is cheaper than gas and getting close to 30MPG. If it is done right it could be more reliable then it was stock. The fun factor is another return. The knowledge gained can never undone as long as I keep this make/model for as long as there is used ones for sale and for as long as there is gas/E85 for sale. Buying a another car make is always wasteful as far as money spent goes. The money spent on another make can always be spent maintaining and improving what I already have which will be cheaper and better than buying something new.

What car is going to get 30mpg on E85? Cause I know the G isn't.
