begginer looking for help

i may be kinda young but i love my g35. i have just started putting some mods on it. it currently has magna flow exhaust and injen cai. i am now saving for a turbo but i need some help in choosing one and if it is a good choice to make. The down fall is i have an automatic tranny but i do have tips. will it still be a good investment?

An automatic is not a problem and there are several options. Do you have between $10K and $20K lying around?

First, change your title to beginner..
second, i believe GTM has a twin turbo setup for our cars. look into them.

That will get you into the game. I believe current TT options include GTM and Greddy and SC options include GTM and Stillen. You can do the research.

Think carefully before you drop that kinda dough into your car. Ask yourself: Is there a smarter way to invest your money? Is this your daily driven car? Will you have $$ on hand to fix it when things break?

You asked if FI is a good investment ... no one can answer that except you. My advice as an "older" person to a "kinda young" person, the answer is probably no ... not a good investment for you.

At least he talks proper English unlike a lot of the noobs that come here

A basic turn key twin turbo kit will cost you around $8K from GTM. But then you'll need supporting mods such as gauges, engine/trans cooling mods, transmission upgrades, etc as well as the cost of install and tune. This will drive up the cost to almost double the initial amount.
