Sure go get a couple gt30 turbos. Custom fab the kit and youll be good to go.
You're going to need more than an intake or exhaust to keep up with a modified 335 (I know that wasn't the question).
In all honesty, I doubt an exhaust would do much any good stock. Ask the guys with the Stillen catback.
My guess is that with each cylinder bank having its own intake, chances are you won't get much more than a different noise by changing.
The ECU gets the safest amount of power out of the engine anyway.
If you were to add everything up you might get 5-10 whp.

seconded.
why eff with factory tuning? i really don't get that.... do you really think an aftermarket outfit knows more about a car than the people the designed and built it? there was a time when this kind of stuff made sense but the margin of performance vs detriment to an engine has become narrower as cars have improved.
and before you go accusing me of not understanding tuning, I use to drive a Z that pushed 17 lbs of boost. but spending over a grand for ten horsies and potentially less reliability makes no sense to me.

thanks alot guys. i'm hoping that someone releases a twin turbo kit with a couple of small, quick spooling turbo's so that the g will not only be a better looking, but also a much quicker car. in all honesty, i don't think i'd do any serious mods to the G until it was out of warrenty anyways... but there is alway dreaming.
