Upgraded turbos are an option? I just look and see those APS guys making 600+ now and there is a little envy there on my part.

I preface this to say that I had a G35 with the APS TT kit before, looking to buy another but I really like the JWT kit but with much more horsepower than I was making before (415whp)

No problem, looks like the VRT version of the JWT TT kit with the 700BB's is the route to go for you.

Like many others, the sole sticking point on not getting the JWT kit, for me, is the CARB approval. I realize a lot of the delay is due to the slow CARB process in California, but it would be really nice if JWT did a better job of updating their own website with more current news on the situation, rather than letting me know that there was a JWT powered TT kit featured in Playboy. The only news on their website of any relevance is more than 6 months old, and the previous updates before that are about every six months or so.

I've had great experiences with JWT products on my previous car (Z32TT), but this is somewhat frustrating.

What kind of gas mileage do you get after upgrading to the JWT TT? In this case, say you've tuned it to around 450hp and you drive about 70% highway and 30% local (and drive it mainly in the 3500 to 4300 RPM range).

Man, I seriously doubt any TT kit will become carb legal here in Cali. All of the TT kits say that is in the process but if it does ever happen which it probably won't, I doubt that we will still be driving our current cars...

I'm getting this kit regardless if it's CARB legal or not. It's only a matter of time for me...

Why is it that every post from someone VRT affiliated always seems so helpful?
