Mines there now. My car will be running on low boost. 8-10psi as im only looking to make 500-530whp for now until i can beef up the motor.

The BorgWarner EFR Turbochargers we use come with the medium boost actuator which we then take off and replace with the low boost actuators. To answer your question, the White Nismo which was seen in the dyno video/graph utilized the very same low boost actuator which are included in the turbocharger system. Regarding minimum boost - we just had a 350Z leave yesterday with the same AAM Competition BorgWarner Turbocharger System (aside from 350Z vs. 370Z differences) set to 5psi. We set it a bit lower because it was an automatic with close to 100k miles on the engine. I will also add that he drove 10+ hours home right after picking up the vehicle - not a bad durability test right off the bat! Aviator44's numbers on boost limitations are right on point( I am also re verifying with BW), but theoretically speaking each of those actuators should be able to support up to 50% more boost than the numbers dictate. Edit: Here is the boost actuator limitations chart from BorgWarner: For customer who want to run a much higher boost, we will have both the medium and high boost actuators available but for the majority of all applications the low boost actuators should suffice. good questions!

Hey Max a question for the auto guys, I know you guys are working on a trans upgrade but is there way to TQ come on linear ? I would only be looking at 8 PSI and mid to high 400's but worried about throwing 400 FTlbs at my 7 PSD :/ Thank you

This would be achievable via tuning. We should be getting one of our R & D 370Z auto's on the dyno over the next few days and I will be sure to share those results with this community. You should see a much more consistent and predictable TQ curve. Stay Tuned (pun intended )

I am very excited about this set up. I am getting my 7at built by level 10on October 13th right after I get back from nationals. I intend to fully build my motor this winter and if all goes well I'd like to put this system on my car and turn the boost up as much as a built motor can handle....edit as much as a built 7at trans can handle!! I'd love to have around 750 at the wheels. That's my goal anyway

Well I will certainly oblige given a few months. I'm going for 100% show car and 100% race car. Its a delicate balance but I'm not used to settling for anything less than everything! Lol

Hey max I don't know if you remember me but we spoke about me being a r&d car for this about a month ago but I told you my car was getting shipped to Los Angeles to fly1 motorsports. Well its almost done and should be back in about two weeks. I've been texting Jason today and asked him to talk to you for me but since you responded so quickly I figured I would just ask you to call me again to discuss my plans and see if there is something we can work out. Please call me when you can. My name is rich and my number is. Edit.... 1-800 ba** b**thanks buddy
