You looking at atleast $10,000 grand to turbo a g35 and if your looking to go past 400-450whp your going to have to build your engine block
Go on my350z.com and read up on turbos in there FI section

$10,000 is over the top. Your looking at at least 4-6gs for a twin turbo kit

4-6k for the turbo kit but after install and tune 10k sound about right.

Dont do ebay unless its a known vendor just selling on ebay. Seals will be bad or something and youll end up messing up your engine, etc.

$10K sounds pretty accurate to me for parts, install and tune.

Yes. But unless you have $15K dedicated for the project don't do it. Lots of info in the FI sections on both here and my350Z.com. What year and transmission is your car?

Put it like this,for 15k just go get a corvette or gto motor and trans (ls2) and drop it in with a cam and youll have yourself a reliable 450hp beast.
I'm sorry but I've done a lot of research on going FI with the VQ motor and im sure there's a bunch success story's but there's way more failure story's.
