Power Enterprise Twin Turbo

Does anyone have this kit in there G35(6MT) The reason why I ask is because I'm looking into buying the kit for G. But since this kit is so expensive I wanted to know if its worth every dollar

Why not the APS kit? It seems to be more complete and higher quality for a better value. I'd ask GurgenPB about it, he has the PE and might say he wished he would of waited for the APS. I'd pm him.

Exactly, they've covered all the bases. That's the route I'll be going. You always remember quality not the price.

Anyone know the price difference for either the APS TT or single-turbo. Was hoping split intercooler was optional for G35, to fit stock bumper. Not sure if that large intercooler will fit my KenStyle bumper.

if not, Spearco can make them custom for you. I believe they are the company that supplies SFR with their IC's and they are split for the stock bumper.

The price difference will be around $1.7K. I hope the intercooler will fit because I was counting on going with the KenStyle kit too.

Juan, APS all the way. Take it from me, it is a very easy decision.

EDIT: Let me elaborate...

PE does have very good components as well, do not get me wrong. The IHI turbos are very, very good, as is the ARC intercooler that is supplied. But, there are some MAJOR omissions that PE made, not to mention that the kit just did NOT go through any kind of proper engineering process and truly adapted to our car. The SS manifolds are a huge hit to the kit's reliability, mine have cracked 3 times in 3000 miles, not to mention complete lack of any kind of engine management (they say it is not necessary). It also has a flawed fuel system. Unless you save thousands (and I mean a few) over the price of the APS kit, it should not even be a consideration. But of course you cannot, hence why even consider it. PE is head and shoulders above Greddy... and it can be made to work with additional funds and time. But why would you ever want to do that, when the APS kit is TRULY complete, and PERFECTLY TUNED (yes, as PERFECT as you can ever hope).

Hey Gurgen,
Just curious, what is your opinion on SSR/SFR twinturbo kit for G35. Are they not also complete and tuned as well. Have not yet heard any problems with those kit. Kamal and Tinman both have that set-up. Kamal'as had it for over a year now. I also really like the APS kit, I emailed Peter if he thinks my KenStyle bumper is sufficient for the large intercooler. Or as Randy mentioned use a spearco dual intercooler, which is also same ones used by SFR.

APS single-turbo or TT kit for G35 is not yet available. Not for at least 2-3 months.

Honestly, wait for APS, or if you absolutely must get it now, get the PE, obviously. Take it from someone who had more than their share of problems with these things, when it happens, it makes you wish you waited, especially when a resolution to a serious problem often takes long, negating the advantage of an earlier acquisition (not to mention the cost).
