Thanks for all the support guys, and yes, OP has contacted me with a few questions. They have all been answered and now he is asking for my paypal..![Biggthumpup](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/biggthumpup.gif)
I should clear a few things up. The Precision 6265 T4 turbo is standard with 4 different turbine a/r's, from a .58 a/r T4 to a .96 a/r T4/V-band. This turbo comes with an E compressor cover, and is a bit more compact than the optional S compressor cover. Because it is just a tad smaller the turbo can sit a bit higher under the car. No clearance issues. My car is lowered as well:

I have gone over some massive Wall Mart speed bumps and never had an issue.
Because I have had so many people ask about the clearance, I had to take this picture:

In that picture I pulled a string from the rear skid plate to the front skid plate, and measured how much higher the lowest part of the turbo is. As you can see the turbo sits about ˝” above the skid plates. Now, you ask yourself, how many times have you hit something with your skid plate?
Because the G has a two piece drive shaft, the turbo can be lifter even higher. So, nothing to worry about. The upgraded turbo is a 6765, and it comes with an S compressor cover. It is even with the skid plates, so still good clearance.
This is the 6765 turbo installed:

Something else that needs to be mentioned. The G coupe chassis is a bit different, and because of this reason the extra hanger that I provide for the Z cars does not work. This hanger is made to take the full weight of the turbo, so that there is no stress/weight on the headers. It is easy to install the kit and go over to an exhaust shop to get a custom hanger made. I do not have a G, so I can not built one so that it is bolt on:

In this picture (below) you can see the hanger is rubber. This picture was taken a long time ago, and since I have used urethan exhaust hangers like this:

These do not strech at all...ever. So once the kit is installed the turbo will never fall even a bit.

As you can see the entire turbo and up pipe are being held in place by this hanger and the entire exhaust system:

I always tell my customers that if they can remove the OEM catalytic converters, they can install this kit.
Also, with the front end between the G and Z being a bit different it is required to drill a 3" hole in the front plastic rad support. This is for the charge pipe going from the FMIC to the TB:

APS, JWT and some other top mount kits require the same mod. It is just plastic, and does not take long to drill/cut out.

For those looking for more info on Momentum Performance's turbo here's a link to the build thread for my car. I purchased the first production kit from Momentum and I've extremely pleased with the quality and performance this turbo kit offers.

I am new to the G platform, but not to FI. I was thinking of the JWT, I know you have to have them install it and all. I was planning on upgrading to the GT30. I would want to go with the GTX3071R or GTX3072R's on my twin setup. Of course on a fully built engine. I have never heard of some of these companies. I have heard of APS and the other one. I am use to Full-race turbos and kits.

**** it, try to force me to fill this space out and **** but not enough damn room
No frame cutting necessary!
no holes cut in my frame and I’ve been running this kit since 2011, just before they closed shop!!! Kits fairly easy in my opinion bro....and I did it with no install manual. Only thing needed cutting was an opening in the composite front on driver side for the “snorkel” that connects compressor to the air filter that sits just behind our front grill. Frame was and still is UNTOUCHED!
