>.> show me your bank account of $20k+ before you get info about F/I. You sound like you belong to the 99.99% group of people who just always talk about boosting their cars and doing 2jz swaps and blah blah with a budget of $500 and a job (or no job) that will never get you close to the amount of money necessary for a F/I setup.

^+1 got to pay to play and do it right or don't do it at all, but from my limited knowledge the weakest link in the VQ are the connecting rods.

I heard 21 psi was a bit to much but 19.5 was the magic number for the amount of boost

Sounds about right from some cars that I know. Some are running 480-500 but are not really expecting long life out of their current engines and plan to go built.

OP - check with 350Z T here on Driver (Boosted Performance on my350z.com) for an affordable, reliable single turbo system that makes 400whp/400wtq (you won't get that torque number with a SC) on stock internals.

I mean I dont know why everyone automatically hates on somebody thinking about going f/i.. who knows this guy may be Bill Gates. Yes the majority of people dont have near the finances to make it happen but you never know he may be the exception
