First top mount single turbo 370Z

This is such a sexy setup! I think I might do it on my G!

Thanks, man! I'm opening a door to a whole new world of opportunities. My current job was my first real job out of college...other then that, I've been valeting since I was 19. So this is a big change for me. I'm excited.

No nightly boosting last night. It poured from about 430pm until I went to bed. Literally everytime I wash my car, it rains within 24hrs damnit!

I'll get some for you. There's a picture posted in this thread somewhere when they were first installed.

Good luck! It's been a pain in the *** build...but that's only because of the bad engineering of the kit. The car runs great now, aside from my PS leak and exhaust leak...all thanks to Lutz Performance.

Oh, and with my new smaller intercooler, I sat at idle with the AC on and the coolant light didn't budge (which means the coolant temp never went past 220F). With the old intercooler, the temps would have surpassed that within 2 mins. Also, my oil temps seem to be around 200F at cruise, rather than 220-230 previously. Boosting now has seen 220-225F, where as previously was 230-245F. The extra 13" of air getting through the engine bay due to the smaller intercooler has made a significant difference.

Nice gauge and controller setup. Any plans to remove the door? Have you seen my gauge setup?

Nah, I like knowing I can shut the door and hide them if I want to. And no, post up a pic.

Just click on my journal in my sig and go to the last page. But yea I understand wanting to close the door. But when it's open that means business. Lol.

Come on guys. That's like hiding your penis behind a condom. But I guess they still know it's there.
