Is this kit worth it?

There are only 4 turbo kits that I know of that are reliable, and that kit is definitely not one of them. If you want a twin turbo kit, look for Fast Intentions or AAM Competition. If you want a single twin-scroll turbo kit, ask boosted performance. If you want a more DIY turbo kit, check out Greddy tuner kits. Also, you're going to need to spend way mlre money on engine rebuild and drivetrain strengthening if you want >800whp for extended periods of time... If you can only spend $1200, I would just leave the forced induction idea entirely. Try saving up for a stillen supercharger kit. Its cheaper and you can run a stock power train if you use a conservative tune. Also, don't fall into the GTM Motorsports fallacy. They have a running website, but there are multiple stories of people spending thousands of dollars on their forced induction kits/parts and never getting the actual product. Just my 2 cents though.

Although you will get a second hand kit if you go with Greddy. They discontinued for the 370z a while back.
