When we originally developed our Twin Turbo Kits (Garrett), our goal was to offer the biggest, baddest setup on the market (still is to this day). Ditching the crash bar gave us the room to stuff a massive intercooler up front.

With this new kit, we learned that a lot of our customers are concerned about losing the factory crash bar and so we decided to use a pair of smaller cores to give great performance while keeping the car safer. That said, we can certainly offer the different piping and smaller cores with our Garrett turbo kits.

As a side note, our Garrett kit uses a 1000hp rated intercooler core while our TD05 kits use a pair of cores rated at 850hp combined. While this might sound like a disadvantage, the 20G's (biggest in our upcoming lineup) are barely capable of pushing the limit of the intercooler setup on a built motor. Therefore, if you are limiting your power level to what the stock engine can handle, the smaller cores are plenty sufficient for that and allow the crash bar to remain.

Also, we designed two different twin intercoolers for one very important reason. On the 370Z, the hood latch supports are a very important part of the front end structure to keep the latch located correctly and secure the hood. The G37, however, uses a different setup altogether and doesn't have auxiliary hood latch supports. That allows us to use a taller core on the G37 than the 370Z, which is fine because the G is a heavier car and puts more load on the engine and ancillary parts. In addition, these intercooler cores will be featured on our Twin Supercharger Kits.

Mike,

I think I need to ship my nismo down to you ASAP.
I'm torn between your TTSC kit verse this new kit, which would be a better bargain and make a more drive able power range with minimal lag?

Plus I wanna be the first in the northwest to rock one of your kits.
Thanks for the advice.

Default Dd ?

What is the applicability of this twin turbo setup for a 2012 daily driver?

Shoot me an e-mail if you like and let's see what we can come up with.

At the moment, both kits are in development and until we've figured out exact pricing and finished testing, I cannot definitively comment on all the aspects you want to know about.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but there are several people in the Puget Sound area that have our products already.

As with our current twin turbo kits, this will be very much applicable to daily driven Z's.

I like the fact that you are offering MHI turbos now.

Haha, touche. BUT, it makes it really hard for me to decide when you put out a new product that I have to consider so often. It's a good problem to have.

I'd be interested to know the answer to that too. I would love a TT. Can a TT-370Z still be used as a daily drive?

Great work GTM.

I don't see why anyone would have any problem DDing a TT NISMO or any other turbo'd vehicle. I know that I will be DDing mine!

A GTM TT kit will not make ur car any harder or inconvenient to drive...On monday I came back from ZdayZ in NC. I drove the car through TX, LA, MS, AL, GA and NC. Over 1000miles each way plus another 400miles or so that I drove (pretty hard btw) while I was there... Car also saw several dyno pulls at Z1 while I was in GA..NOT 1 SINGLE ISSUE....

Your supporting mods on the other side could take away from this driveabilty. Overly stiff clutch, loud flywheel, etc etc.

Matt stop telling people to PM me darn it!
