i wonder how much quicker would it make the G. I've seen the dyno numbers of TT g35 coupes putting down 500hp... Could u imagine a 500hp g35 sedan? just passing by vettes with two kids in the back lol.....

No offense, but what's the big deal?
The BMW 335 will STILL put more HP down in its STOCK FORM, even after you add this twin turbo charger kit to your G35...(see below).
and then the $6k price difference between the two will be narrowed, because this kit will be at least a couple grand...
So you'll have a hopped up G35 that is still slower (or equal to) a STOCK 335, for nearly the same price. At this point why wouldn't you just go out and get the 335?
And this doesn't even take into account the tuning available for the 335, which significantly increases power for $500 or so....
I'm not knocking this, great to add more power, but doesn't seem that great when, after spending thousands to upgrade, you're still even or slower than a stock 335...and you can tune the 335 for much less than adding twin turbos to the G.

Last month, Automobile Mag generated some chassis dyno numbers with a turbocharged BMW 335i coupe that were a bit healthier than one would suspect, given the factory's rating of 300 HP at the crankshaft. In a follow-up, they're now stating that the 275 rear-wheel horsepower number that was reported was actually the lowest of four pulls; one even generated 283 ponies. And all of this was with 92 F ambient temps - the sort of air that usually kills the output of boosted engines.
The publication then strapped a second sample to the same dyno, but this time in 78 F weather. Three runs yielded an average of 285 RWHP, with the other two varying from that by a maximum of three HP. Such consistency in the static air environment of a dyno is downright amazing and attests to the effectiveness of the Bimmer's intercooler and engine management system.

The question is how much boost can a stock VQ35HR take and still be reliable.

Guys,
perhaps you didn't read the dyno charts posted in the link at the top of the thread.
They clearly indicate that the G is putting down about 270 WHP. Unless I'm reading the dyno charts wrong, that's what they say.
The stock 335 ALREADY does that, and these vehicles weigh almost the same.
So how can you say that the G will be that much faster, when the dyno is showing 270-280whp?
Plus, as far as the chips for BMWs go, you obviously haven't heard of Procede and Juice Box.
"Juice Box 335i Performance Tuner
Stage 1: 20-30rwhp 30-40rwtq for $179
Stage 2: 35-45rwhp 45-60rwtq for $379
*** Oct special: S2 for $349 ***"

^^^ huh! that was a stock g37! tt it with a good amount of boost and your into the high 300's. adding 40% more power would take it up to 375-380rwhp and that would whoop the pants off a 335.
