Going FI, but can't make up mind. WHICH ONE

Going FI, but can't make up mind. WHICH ONE
After reading several hours of threads, it seems the kit I'm looking for is the Turbonetics ST or Vortech(no surprise). I've spent a few hours talking w/ the guys at the local tuning shop and still have not been swayed one way or the other. They seem to be equal in reliability, cost about the same and deliver similar HP. I have not had the opportunity to hear a Vortech in persons, so can't decide based on noise. I don't plan on doing an engine build or a bunch of other upgrades except for gauges. Whatever mod I get, I need to be safe as this is my daily driver. I'm not considering other kits, only these two. Any additional insight or opinions are appreciated. I have already set aside the funds, I just need to make a decision.

this is a tough choice IMO and both kits are very different from each other.
I think think the vortech is the safer of the two though. I'd never trust an ECU flash by itself that the TN kit comes with especially since you're not going to be buying gauges.
I'd get the vortech, have it custom tuned on the dyno and be done with it. With the TN, you better know what you're doing and get some gauges or get some sort of piggyback that you can have a tuner tune.

I would speak with Sharif, he's in Charlotte. I spoke with him some at HIN last Sat. He has a wealth of knolwedge of the platform. I was impressed, turbo may be my route way down the road. My G is still a virgin with 750 miles on the clock

Aftering seeing all of the problems that SC guys have with belts at track days there's no way I'd go the SC route. And I was a big SC fan. I love the linear powerband.
Go with the twin turbos, they cost a little more initially, but in the long run I think that they'll make you much happier. The single is ok too, but it might not satisfy as your boost addiction grows... and it will grow.

Take it from someone who had a vortech and sold it to go turbo. Go turbo! The vortech is way to linear for my taste and does not sink you in the seat like a turbo.
I recommend you drive in both a ST and SC G35 and make up your own mind. I am willing to put money down that you will go with the ST.![Wink](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Go on my 350z and start a thread for FI NC drivers and see if you can meet up to think a spin. I am sure you can find both a ST and SC Z or G.
