Which supercar would you recommend.....since you dont own one of those either????
Are you seriously trying to be offensive here? I'm confused as to why you decided to go the childish route on this... My comment back was me stating an opinion I have, the purpose of the thread I believe, and then followed up with a correction to a comment you made about assuming what throttle lag I was speaking to. You apparently misunderstood what I was stating and decided to take offense.

As for your comment about 90% of the TT'd 370s you've seen being GTM...
  • Have you seen most of these in person?
  • Did a high % of the people you saw with these kits frequent this forum or request advice from you?
That may explain why you see such a high percentage of GTM kits... GTM is a Sponsored Merchant on this forum and as such will have considerably better marketing visibility through this medium than say in a magazine. I've NEVER seen a MEMORABLE magazine ad campaign for GTM in say DSPORT magazine... Because of this lack of marketing I provide an alternative due to the marketing medium I've been influenced by most and have stated my opinion as to why I think Greddy would be a good kit.

Just because my current car isn't boosted doesn't warrant my opinion to be attacked in such a childish way.

As far as...

Why are you asking me if I prefer journal or ball bearing turbos? Is this your way of testing my knowledge? It's all based on preferences and risk management just like any choice in a project.

I never proclaimed I was a mechanic or a high end tuner in any of my posts. I simply have stated my opinion on the subject and how I feel I'm gonna go if I stick with this 370z.

Ok....a few things.......#1 I had one of the first TT GTM installs in the USA and it was done WAY BEFORE I joined this forum,,,,,so any sponsorship issues IN THIS FORUM were not a factor in my decision. #2. A prominent shop on this forums employees TOLD ME that Greddy was lower quality AND DID NOT FIT as well as GTM. #3. Having an EVO and trying any type of part comparison is ridiculous and has no bearing here. #4. I used Greddy on my 350z before and am familiar with them. #5. Have I seen many GTM TTs in person......YES!. #6. Did a high % of the people you saw with these kits frequent this forum or request advice from you........NO! I dont know anyone on this forum "personally" that has a TT. I have been asked many questions by NON FI Z owners about my install.......not sure how many went TT after.

In my opinion....most performance minded people seek out "the best" in parts when upgrading (assuming they can afford them) and if Greddy was "as good" or "better" then why are there so few on this forum? And no......sponsorship on this forum "is not" a deal breaker or deal maker.....nor is price.

So you "feel" that Greddy's JB turbo's are more effective than GTM's BB turbo's... Gotcha....

Your risk management preference of choice is an outdated product, (hence why Greddy is lacking market share on the VQ Platform.)

And no, i never stated you were mechanically inclined, therefor, you are entitled to your own blurred standpoint on this subject.

My best wishes on your journey on sticking with the Z
