First top mount single turbo 370Z

That is a good question, now that I think about it. I haven't had any issues *knock on wood*, but it would be un-awesome to have it pop up on

So when my build was being done by Lutz, they posted a thread on bimmerforums. Recently, someone asked for updates. I've never posted my problems until now since they asked...

The Nissan contact that my Infiniti friend knows apparently got fired Monday. I've been waiting since November to take my car into the Nissan guy and was told "sometime in January"...so that was a lot of patience wasted!

I've contacted a few more people and we will see what happens. I'm willing to drive as far as Georgia to get this fixed... If anyone knows anyone who's willing to help

I thought about it but im not quite to the point of building the engine, got a couple more things to do first. Sticking with it was a good idea, that engine could be your break

Isn't it funny how when you first go into a shop, you tell them you want more power with lots of reliability, and everything is always "no problem!".... But once they get the money and issues pop up, it's "oh there's no guarantees when you boost an N/A motor..."

NO SH!T!! Why can't shops just be bluntly honest from the beginning? Less short term revenue but the loyalty and honesty would generate long term success...
