Oh chit. Yeah that design is as good as it gets. I guess I havent looked at the build stuffed way up under there in a while or never really knew it was a direct connect. That works!

Another thing Id like to add is that it is def. nicer to clean that filter vs. a twin setup where you have to remove the bumper.

I think you will have some issues cleaning that filter, its tucked in there pretty good. Unless Sasha knows something I dont. I think you could get it out by removing the fender well without much trouble I think.

The BOV's and MAF sensor housing are now welded in place:

The turbo also arrived today, and now I am going to start working on the exhaust side of things. I made a quick little bracket to support the turbo in place while the fabrication of the exhaust piping is taking place.

Does it just unconnect and then slide forward to diconnect from the outlet and then slide back beside the compressor and drop out? How DO you clean it? Because I would want to clean it at least once every 3 months. And for those guys in dustier places (phoenix) id say even more than that.

You9u can just slide it forward then back out. I have had mine out for cleaning. I am going to be adding a k&n dry filter on it as well

Ok yeah, then this is much easier. Why are you adding a dry filter or pre filter? Is it because you are seeing a large amount of debris on it? I know i have mine in a vent really low to the ground in my bumper and that thing is black in 2 weeks.

That's a good idea. I didn't know they made such a thing.

Bit of an update.....

Going through all the PM's and putting a list of people that are interested in the twin scroll kit...looks like there is 8 of of you that are 100% ready to go, and wanting to put deposits down.

There is also 4 guys that are looking to purchase some time later on in the year, summer/fall.

3 guys on the fence, waiting to see the pricing of the F.I TT kit.

So, I think it is safe to say that I should be building 10 turbo kits in the next couple of months to keep everybody happy, and boosted. I am now finishing up the last 350z turbo kit, and am looking at starting the production of the 370z twin scroll kits in about two weeks.

I will keep you guys posted on the build, and perhaps post a picture or two.

Thank you for all the support.

Sorry, did not see a PM from you. User name added to the list...total of 9 now. Thanks.

If cost is an issue I'm pretty sure this kit will still be cheaper than any TT kit.
