My Heart Hurts.
wow
This sux.
Have you considered hiring investigator to find out exactly what happened.
I doubt it was electrical.
It seems like it burned evenly at that front.
Turbo would be the first thing I would blame.
Could be combination of things tho.
Good luck with the claim.

There's some bad advice in this thread. Really, there's no reason to lie to your insurance company. Best thing to do is to get your insurance policy and read it to see what it does cover and how they will value your car. If it's "fair market value" then they will pay more than $15K for it.
See if there's anything that mentions aftermarket or non-OEM parts. Some of those parts, such as nice aftermarket wheels/tires and body kit may actually add value to the vehicle. However, things like turbochargers are unlikely to add much, if any value.
Start looking for comparable cars to yours (year, make, model, mileage, options, mods, etc.) Given that you have a G35 coupe, it's very likely you will find some modded ones for sale. If you can find a few G35 coupes with similar mods to yours selling more than stock G35 coupes, that would help you establish a higher than stock value for your car to the insurance company.
The insurance company will not deny your claim b/c you turbocharged your car. If they do, find a good bad-faith lawyer and you will be settling for millions of dollars later on down the line.
Insurance pays for accidental damage or loss. Just because your car may have been wired incorrectly, or the aftermarket turbocharger was installed w/o sufficient heat shielding or whatever it was that caused the fire, these are not intentional acts that would result in a denial of your claim.
The only thing your insurance company may do is to run your VIN through NICB (National Insurance Crime Bureau) database as they typically do for virtually all total burns. This is more just standard operating procedure rather than them suspecting that you burned your own car.
Your insurance company would know that no one in their right mind would torch their own car in their own driveway if they really wanted to perpetrate insurance fraud.
Good luck.

I don't know you personally, but I feel your pain. 
I just cant imagine that happening to my 07 G. Its not the end of the world and you will get another G, just be thankful no one was hurt. Good luck.

I sincerely hope that everything turns out well. Despite the fact that your car is no longer operational, I'm extremely happy that nothing happened to your house, or you or you family.
Good luck with insurance company.
