I can only speak for my kit..

All of my 350z customers have installed the kit themselves. The kit can easly be removed, and the car can be returned back to stock, leaving no evidence (holes, cutting..ect) of there ever being a turbo kit installed.

A person (car owner in this case) who has worked on cars, can do the install of this kit in a weekend without much trouble. A shop should be able to do it in one day or less.

Thanks Sasha.

Install cost varies greatly depending on whether you do the work yourself or have a shop do it (and however much their labor rate is).

That said, we charge 25 hours to install our kit here in house. Like I mentioned earlier, our turbo kit can stay intact for maintenance operations (such as changing a clutch) and therefore has no impact on the time it takes to do maintenance.

When we designed our turbo kit, we took the approach of "converting" the car to a twin turbo design and as such it is a comprehensive system that integrates with the car. While it certainly can be uninstalled and the car put back to stock, it is fairly involved.

Just curious what is the install cost of the GTM TT kit vs Boosted Performance kit?

Can both kits be uninstalled and car returned to stock just in case it needs to go back to dealer for warranty work?

What is the average professional install time of both kits?


Thanks in advance.

...and then sweeps back up over 400ft-lbs by 5k. Gee whiz...I can read too. :bowrofl:

Anyway, you're right...it is pointless arguing about it. Comparing DE graphs on a 370Z forum is silly. Amusing, but silly. haha

So, when are we going to see some dyno graphs of your setup?

Look at the first (6psi) dyno in that build thread.

Anyway, there is no point to this. The customers can decide which kit better suites them, and the budget they have to work with. Both are quality kits, and capable of making more power than 98% of the guys driving these cars will ever use.

We have a tuner flying up here to tune about 10 z's. This car will be one of them. Unfortuantely this is not going to happen for another month or so.

Not many options up here when it comes to tuning with the UpRev.

Wtb good local uprev tuner :shakes head:
