Sorry, I didn't see this Q before. I know it has been responded to but here is my $0.02.
If it were my $ I would always go turbo over SC. If you don't plan to build your motor and go for big power the TN is a great kit. So is the STS and APS. I don't like the oil pump setup with those two so I would take the TN over any of them. Plus it looks awesome under the hood!
It is a good kit and with a better EMS like a UTEC is can be a great kit. Yes it has a bit more lag that a TT kit but you can still get more HP and way more TQ than a Vortech at the same boost. Plus you don't have to always be in high rpm to be in boost like with a centrifugal SC. For the size of that turbo it comes on faster than I would expect.
If you have the money go TT. It is by far the best choice but if money is tight a ST is the way to go. The install is a lot less work and the kits are a bit cheaper.
I went back and started changing my post where I list all my mods. I would guess that if you figure $50/hr in labor for what I have done, my car has at least $50k in mods, maybe closer to $60k, who knows anymore... That is just off the top of my head and I could be wrong.
I think I have at least $25k and countless hours into it.

^^haha can't go wrong with that investment. BUT please don't tell me your G35 was new! Or atleast didnt have the new car smell to it. Because if it did, you just bought a downgrade mod
. Was it the tree kind!?
Thanks!

HA! Yeah, the tree kind! Just kiddin. I've actually added $2,000 in Rims/tires, 20% tint, and getting ready to add about 60 sq ft of eDead and a JL 500/1 and a 10w7 or a 12w6. I guess I do have the mod bug. Won't be doing many suspension/engine mods as thank the good Lord I am not really into that!!! That sh*t is expensive....huh ttrank?!
Yes the mods are expensive. I have done most of my work myself (except for TT kit install which UMS Tuning did a great job on) and even just parts add up.
