Thanks for any advice!

I would definitely boost the G. But since it's automatic I would go for a Vortech S/C.

So I have a 05 g35x sedan 5AT and I am planning to SC my car not sure what brand I guess it depends on whichever one will fit my AWD sedan. Also Im afraid blowing something like engine when I get this, Is there anything I need to change out if I want a SC?

Will any Vortechs fit my car? I have a 05 g35x sedan 5AT and I cant seem to find one that will fit a X sedan.

Call them and Inquire about it. I think i should be fine but not every single S/C will fit. It has to be based on the specific engine you have. Example for my car I can only use V2 and V3 to keep my engine safe. For your car may be different.

1. Vortech SC V2
Pros It will give me quite a bit more hp, cheaper then turbo
cons It might not be enough hp

2. Some kind of single turbo or twin turbo
Pros- Will give me the power I want
Cons- Price, fitment issues etc

So does that mean If i choose option 2 I have to rebuild everything for it to work? I was looking at momentum single turbo but there not around anymore... Any ideas guys?
