Honestly, I'm not too worried about the exhaust not mating up - I have many shops around me that could make one that fits no pressure. I just happened to notice the similarity between the FI TDX and the HKS Hi Power.

Either way, I am definitely interested in one of these kits Sasha. May is actually a perfect time for me - I still have to sort out a few more finances, as well as supporting drivetrain mods. ^^

Hmm... UPS just dropped of some boxes.

Damn nice clothes with hangers. :cool:

Just in time for your broadway tryouts.

lol

It took me forever to find even these boxes. Had to be large enough and strong (double wall) enough. In the end, they end up in the garbage anyway so I did not think the outside lable makes a difference.

Boosted Performance turbo kit unboxed

Very detailed instruction manual,

Now I just have to hope that I can install this stuff myself and drive it 8+ hours to get a tune. *fingers crossed*

Yummy!! That looks just amazing!

Looks awesome. Good luck with the install!

Mmmmm car porn :yum:

So it was 1 when you posted pics. That should mean your half way through your install lol

Where are the damn white gloves?!?!

Yeah I should be. I'm very sure my wife would cause severe harm to me if I didn't get the driveway shovelled and neglected to feed our 3 year old. :rofl2:

I think the collector flange sits in a slightly different location, that's why Z1 had to make special test pipes to reach the exhaust... I could be totally wrong, but it doesn't make sense why they'd have to make special TP's for them otherwise.

Edit: I can attest to the fact that 350z DE longtubes do fit our cars on a case by case basis though. At least the flanges are in the right spots. (The primaries themselves may interfere with other components though, the particular set we tested fit fine however)

i installed the momentum headers today with DE OEM cats for the moment until my test pipes come in. everything lined up perfect with no need to modify a thing.the DE cats bolted straight up to my exhaust. the driver side header was a pain the *** to put in though so we had to loosen the motor mount to angle the motor to slide it in but the alignment is the same. i HIGHLY plan on ordering this kit in may so i will just need to request special flanges i guess. i feel like i always ask you on special requests lol. first to ask you about the oem oil cooler and now momentum headers lol. what else can i dig up?

How well would the momentum headers work with this kit sasha? They make great gains it seems just with a NA motor. Curious to see results on this

The Momentum headers are a great product. Proven on both the DE and VHR engines, so I would not hesitate on those.

My only concern would be the angles at which the 3-bolt flanges sit. If they are a different angle than the VHR header flanges, the manifold will not fit perfectly.

I will check and see how the VHR turbo manifold sits on the DE engine with aftermarket headers and report back.
