If its going to be twin turbo'd I'm sure the cost is going to be about as much as a S/C kit.

There will be a write up about the STS Turbo Z in S3 magazine.

less design time I would think since they dont have to work around the engine so I would hope it would be cheaper and they could get away with a single turbo kit too. It would be good to have a cheaper option..

Good points. The Z's exhaust is a 2 into 1 exhaust, then a single pipe splits into 2 at the muffler tail section. They could easily run a single turbo off of the single mid pipe and lead it into an inexpensive dual exhaust tip setup.

too much IMO for something that is alot easier to design than the ones going in the engine and require less items to produce than some of the TTs out there now. They wont sell but a couple at that price. They arent very popular to begin with so they should come in with a nice low intro price to grap consumers. And they should do a single turbo option and that could be the cheaper version for those that dont want to spend too much.

So what do they need? A couple of turbos and some piping and a tune, maybe an IC if things get too hot. This might be a setup a good local shop could build for you and you just get the tune from who ever they use.

Looks like you can get a single turbo sts for the 350z under 5k and make around 387hp 400tq @ 8psi.

If it's over 8k

Major, major lag... also, less boost with same size turbo given all the extra volume of piping that has to fill... nicer in theory than in reality.

Best thing about this is no intercooler needed, but seriously not worth it.

Maybe if this was somehow set up as part of a twincharge design with a big roots blower under the hood to get the car moving... I dunno, that or some nitrous.

Major lag? Have you drove in one of those cars?
My buddy has one in his z and there no major major lag. Don't judge a book by its cover.

incorrect. I had one on a 350 and it made more power and torque at the same psi than a turbonetics kit with a similarly sized turbo. Lower IAT's allow you to run more timing. And with regard to the piping, it's a straight shot and if you line up all the piping in an sts kit vs. say a greddy kit you'd be surprised at how little difference in length of piping there actually is.

Plus it's a compression wave. Think of a hose full of water. You start pushing water in one end, you don't have to wait till that water gets to the other end to see results. Of course air compresses and water doesn't, but you aren't waiting for air to go down the full length of the pipe to get a benefit at the other end.
