Anyone have any idea when the kit for the 06's are coming out and what the expected HP gains will be?

 

Supposedly its the same kit as the 05 kits.

 

The kit will work for auto 05's and 06's but they still havent made one for the 05 and 06 6MT's

 

So what are my options for a 2006 6MT?

 

APS ST or APS TT.

 

I just received an email back from vortech stating they are working on an 06 kit which generaly takes atleast 6 months to complete.

I would love to go turbo but I hear they are not as reliable, not as good for dailyh driving and also cost more money and a bigger pain to install

 

They can be just as reliable and great for a daily driver if you do it right. It does take more money, but you'll have more adjustability/power/etc than a SC. You can adjust your boost low for daily driving, and then when you want to tear it up, change it up to as much as your car can take with a touch of a button.

Thats the misconception of turbos, that they are "not reliable". Tuned, installed right, a turbo will outpower a supercharger anyday. Not only is a turbo more fuel efficient, because you simply are not always in boost. You can drive your car all day, and not be in boost. A turbo needs load on the motor for the exhaust gases to spool it up, meanwhile the supercharger is always sucking power and eating gas, whether you want to run your car hard or not. Not to mention, Turbo's with external wastegastes sound so amazing it isn't even funny, a sound Supra's are famous for. ST is the way to go...

 

I do love the sound of a turbo and you did bring up some good points. So how much would I be looking at with install for a APS ST?

 

Vortech is looking for an 06 G35 to fit a SC kit . They will reduce the price . Derek from DSport mag . posted it on My350Z

 

Turbos represent load in the form of an exhaust restriction whenever you're driving around "not in boost". Nothing's free.
