Cool, no problem. The JWT TT kit has not ben released to the "public" yet. In other words, a "customer" can't order one on line or pick one up yet. It is a great milestone for JWT to reach CARB approval and they are waiting for that to be complete before "they officially" release this awesome and much sought after TT kit to the public. We at VRT have developed a relationship with JWT and have installed and tuned this JWT TT kit on several VRT customers (and our own) cars ranging from "03-'05's. These customers have their VRT built car tuned and delivered to them. No sitting around or waiting for anything, not a shop car. We try to get a customers car back to them as soon as possible, to minimize the time they are without it.

Now, that is quite important to me, as I have an '05, and a big bundle of cash saved from being in Iraq, and one of the first things I want to do when I get back in November is turbo my G, and I have decided on the JWT as my system of choice. Hopefully that bundle of cash won't burn too big a whole in my pocket.

Great choice Dave, We have seen and tried alot of TT systems and this one is tops. We have and "as I speak" are installing this very kit (flawlessly) on '05 Z's and G's. Ben, Clark, Jim, and the rest of the JWT staff are great people and great to work with.

Be safe over there! and if you see any Navy EOD Techs, tell them I said HI!

[btw, if you were in Hawaii for a while, you may remember Spead Gear Motorsports (which is now Vakamon, ... probably changing again soon). They had a store in Ala Moana. www.speedhawaii.com ]

wow, i really like the seperated intercoolers. Means i can keep the front bumper and not worry about overheating...Anyone have any dyno, or specs for this kit. I am interested in comparing the APS and JWT for reliability and power...

Unfortunately I believe "paranormal" may have blown his engine. Check out the FI forum on my350z.com for more details.

Wow even though you had this happen it is probably a relief to know that it wasnt the kit or install. I am relieved for ya.
