This is my opinion. Not going to argue for or against. I even debated posting any of it. The Savannah, Ga
area is real bad about water being sucked up the intake and bending rods. It happens on stock vehicles all the time.
My 1990 300zxtt that I sold died to his problem. The car was totaled 4 months after I sold it.

Time for my biannual check-in to this thread in order to soak up some cheap repz.

@JLarson - In your position I would go with the BP kit. Look at some of the Stillen/Topz SC threads and you'll see people have all kinds of annoyances with belt slip, SC unit reliability, mix'n'matching pulleys to get more boost, air filter placement... they just seem to have an abnormally high amount of little problems.

Also, if you're just going or a stock motor, 500hp 'safe' (as safe as a boost build can be, really) type of setup... why leave 50+whp† on the table in driving the SC when you could be pushing that out to the wheels instead?

BP kit, in it's current form, looks stupid easy to install. I'd bet I could do it on my own in a couple of weekends on jack stands, even if I am being my generally anal self about it.

Just my opinion - I have no personal experience with either kit but generally follow all the FI subforum threads and have personally gone through the DIY TT install wringer. I'd imagine any top-mount kit is going to be similarly difficult to a TT just by virtue of having to pull out the OEM exhaust manifolds and shoehorn in something much larger.

edit:
† - I pulled this number right out of my butt.

Anyone have any recommendations on good cotton boxer briefs? I am tired of blowing through American eagle junk every few months. They're the only ones I can find that are comfortable though. Not a fan of polyester or spandex. I feel like they slide on the waist to much. Tempted to try Duluth next.

That wasn’t going to be what I wanted to take about. I disagree with a single being notorious for only top end power. On a big power build, with a built engine, like you are doing then yes I agree, but JL isn’t looking for crazy power. On a stock, pump gas, build and the turbo that comes with the BP kit, you are going to get plenty of response and low end power.

Again as I’ve already stated, this discussion is much more complicated when you start talking about proper turbo selection and what your ultimate goals are for a given situation.

As for filter location it originally bothered me but in reality it’s no lower than that of a GTM kit, which I have personal experience working on, or probably the FI kit if I looked into it. **** my G3 intake was more exposed to weather. I don’t ever plan to drive my car through a puddle that covers the axel hub, so not really an issue. That and I don’t drive the car in inclement weather at all.
