Which one is better? Which one will last longer? Which one has a more OEM type feel to it?

Things I don't like about Greddy: They seem to skimp. Aluminum, using oil without water cooling, FOAM!? air-filters.

Things that make me unsure of the GTM: It is cheaper...is this because there is less profit margin, or are some of the components made in-house, or what?
Let compare some of the main pros and cons

-GTM kit comes with Pre-Bent Stainless Steel Heat Shields Greddy does not offer any heat shields over the manifold
-GTM Bar and Plate Core Intercooler vs Greddy tube and fin core (bar and plate is proven to be more efficient )
-GTM Ball Bering water and oil cooled Garret turbo VS Greddy journal bushing type turbo and oil cooled only (ball bearing turbos spool faster,more efficient,have a much longer life span and for the 370z oil temp issues going with water cooled turbo is no brainer.
-GTM kit does come with tial 50mm blow off valves VS Greddy No blow off valves are supplied.
-GTM kit is complete with fuel and engine management VS Greddy does not come with neither (have to by separate)
-GTM engine managemen is plug and play (via flash ) Greddy is piggy back system required cutting splicing engine harness.
-GTM kit has a lot of room to grow (6 different turbo stages 9 different a/r ) VS GReddy has one turbo option only available.
-GTM kit cheaper and has better value, you get more for what you pay for VS Greddy
-GTM offers 2 different couplers colors VS Greddy only one
-GTM offers k&n filter VS Greddy foam filters

Lets not forget SAM GTM customer service is by far the greatest. People how many other companies do you know that you can call at 1:00 am and still get help through problems? Also that 1am call was cali time so I am 3 hours ahead of him. I wanna know when SAM sleeps lol. Going with GTM in my opinion is a no brainer. OP give SAM a call and talk to him I promise you he wont let you down.

Op asked for the differance and which one was better. Sam came in and cleared the differances up. If greddy gave a damn why didn't they post, or is it because they aren't on the forums listening to what there customers want or need. I am not trying to attack you and sorry if it seems that way but that seemed like a very unneeded comment

^ Unneeded.

And to Sam, not taking anything from your business, but every post you make seems to embellish the fact that everything you guys make blows the competition away, I seem to remember a particular oil cooler problem that keeps recurring.... Anywho, the Greddy kit contains just as many quality parts, its unfortunate for them that they dont have anyone here to defend their setup.

Its funny because I dont think he claimed once that he 'blows everyone out of the water'...What he did claim was FACTS, something you apparently cannot give. The WHAAA WHHAAAA WHINE of "Greddy is good too" holds what fact? Yes, they make a good product...Guess what, GTMs product is greater/superior at a lower cost with better components.

I think the OP asked for the difference's and Sam was happy to give them. Whats the problem again? End.
