and to the OP sorry about hearing about the engine blowin,
that's why If I ever decide to go boost I will be getting every little mod known to man kind to support the type of power the car would be getting besides the mandatory mods for boost. Sadly that will cost me anywhere between $25-$30k instead of $15-$20k like the average is discussed. Like for example I put a Spec Stage 3 clutch in my Z but I know by the time I want boost the WHOLE Clutch/Flywheel combo, Rear Diff, FI exhaust from the end of the FI LTH for the turbos, increased oil cooler size, Powerhouse Amuse or +1INGS Aerodynamic full authentic body kits, entire Fuel system, sump pump, CSC elimination kit etc. will need to be done. EVERY LITTLE THING that I could do to prevent and engine blow I would..
Plus I would do all of that at once just cause my car would have to stay there period, just rather them knock it all out in one sitting. Now having the money is a different story lol.
If I ever end up not going boost, I'm going to tune it (don't know which yet), still going to do the body kit, Full ARK Grip exhaust system (gotta figure out something from my friend, he knows a website I guess to where he knows the owner of the company and is good friends and when the parts get made they can be 50 state smogged and the sticker put on there even though they don't qualify to even pass smog in CA.) So even though my car wont pass smog with the ARK exhaust the stickers from the manufacturing company give the right of way. So hopefully looking to never have to exchange my damn exhaust for a smog check.
Just my two ideas incase you are able to get any ideas of what you want to do with your Z. Honestly an estimate from a shop might not be a bad idea just to see exactly all of the damage and what everything would cost at least for OEM. Gives you a starting point to start choosing a path for the Z
