nothings wrong with the greddy kit, but its NOT intended for someone who just wants a (relatively) quick and straightforward reliable setup with mininum customization,etc.

if 350hp sounds good to you, you dont even need to go TT (and probably shouldnt). APS Single Turbo and Turbonetics Single Turbo are both reliable and complete kits that will do well. The Greddy kit is involved in more VQ35 fatalities than any other kit. That's not because there's something wrong with the kit itself, its because of the installer/tuner/vehicle owner. Unless you know what you're doing with the kit, I highly suggest going another route...

The JWT TT kit of course! If I absolutely had to choose a second choice it would be the APS TT.

the jwt kit is'nt out yet people!!!!!! no offense to vrt, but since you can't order the kit or have some other shop other that vrt install it, i don't consider it avaliable to the general public. i know vrt have done a few jwt prototype installs, but you can't order the kit from jim wolf technology.

True, and no offense taken. Although it isn't available for the general public to buy and place an order, as of yet (but soon). The JWT TT kit is still available and out there through us, therfore it is an option. A GREAT option, I might add!

I understand your reservations, and wanting to know more about this kit, and you and everyone else soon will. If you have seen what I have seen working with these various kits side by side I have little doubt you would disagree.

The Greddy Kit is a fine kit! I am running 415 rwhp at 8 psi. There are a few safeguards that will make the Greddy Kit even more bulletproof than the APS TT. First off the fuel system with the Greddy kit is worthless. Don't even put it in. Go to Alteredatmosphere.com and get their fuel return system with a Walbro 255 pump. Next you definately should go with a reflash. The E-mange (isn't a great piggyback) but will be (descent) if you get a reflash and every harness ever made for it. That means all the optional harnesses and stuff. I went a few steps further to make my car a safe and reliable daily driver. I got a 3 mm metal head gasket and an Aquamist S1 system to keep my compression down and cool the charge even more to further prevent detonation. lastly, GET A GOOD TUNE!!!!!!! Tell them to be conservative with your A/F ratios. Most guys will run like a 12 to1 or a 12.5 to 1. I had them tune mine to 10.8 to 1. Yeah I am missing out on some power from the motor but there is not way that ratio will detonate anytime soon.

Wasn't there a rumor a while back that Greddy was gonna re-do their kit with better fuel system and ecu?

But with the greddy kit doesn't it come with the fuel management, injectors and everything to run a reliable daily driver? I don't understand why a big company would put out a turbo kit and have the consumer buy extra just to make it reliable and not asking to push more power.

You need a TRUE dual and the EVO2 is not. You can mod it but you will need to take it to a muffler shop.
Actually, you don't need any exhaust if you want to get technical. You could run stock exhaust if you d@mn well please but the turbo's won't spool as fast and you probably won't get the most out of the kit. The evo II is better than stock so I don't know why you guys are telling him not to get the kit? I would rather have the TT + evo II then no exhaust at all. And for the comment about having to HAVE a dual exhaust...That's not true either. You can get the FUJI y-pipe + exhaust which is pretty much a 3" single exhaust (which is perfect for the turbo if your gonna run stock boost) Or you can go with a single 3" exit like the JIC exhaust. Also, if you wanted to keep the greddy exhaust you can take out the X pipe and make it 'true dual'.
Everybody loves the APS kit here and personally I could care less which kit you get but I don't want your decision to be based on some false info. Also like mentioned before, If you don't want that much power you can go with a SC kit or even the new Turbonetics Single kit. (but your limited to certain exhausts or customizing your current one with the Turbonetics)
Good luck with everything.
