questions from someone considering turboing
Yes. So for $5710 you get a complete kit capable of 550-600whp compare to $7000. I also encourage you do your own install. If you can remove your catalitics, you can install the kit. No need to relocate anything, drain your refrigerant..ect.
I diy everything. the only thing I don't do myself on a car is alignment and initial charge on an a/c. I take a car to an exhaust shop for exhaust work, but it's because I hate doing it and I have someone who doesn't charge me hardly anything for it. I'm already seeing what I'd do in my head with this kit. do the basic setup, but then add a digital boost controller and use a custom single 3inch exhaust with a 4th gen camaro style magnaflow muffler in the back. On the exhaust I would run the let off for the wastegate into the exhaust after the turbo.
I can definitely see how this system would work for me. I'm sold on it over the powerlabs and greddy.
You seem pretty mechanically inclined, why not do it right and get a TT kit from the get go? GTM Stage 1 kit, includes ECU reflash, injectors, etc.

well I'm going to do this, but I'm waiting. I am having some relationship issues and I'm now currently looking for a new place to live. I will probably be moving downtown so I dunno. I'm just looking for a place right now. I can't do this until I'm secure where I am again. I am probably buying a jeep to carry my bike around as well. just haven't done it yet.
but thanks for the information everyone. I am going to do a single turbo when I finally do it.

I have heard power lab kits have lots of issues, I have never even seen one in person though. But I have delt with intense before and their poor customer service is legendary. If I were you I would look into a Boosted Performance kit it is cheaper than a PL kit, it comes with injectors and it can be DIY installed in a weekend i have heard PL kits are not at all recommended fir do it yourselfers. PM 350Z T he builds the Boosted Performance kit and is very helpful.
Overall though, just throwing my .02 out there, I've had mine boosted on a stock block for nearly a year now and roughly 8k miles and the only issue I have a slightly rough idle. Overall its a well built kit, (minus the crossover exhaust pipe that has a tendancy to tear right around the wastegate, though I haven't had this problem,only heard about it, and the cars been driven quite spiritedly)
As for the boosted performance kit, I've heard great things, but never seen it installed. So I don't really have an experienced opinion to give you there. Though the powerlab kit gets my approval. The only thing I'd for sure do is ditch the UTEC the comes with it if you get that package and go get your car a good ecu and more importantly a good tune.
