Hello,

So, life has finally gotten to the point where I am about ready to pull the trigger on an FI TT kit for my 08 G37 Sport Coupe (6MT). I've been enjoying her up to this point with 105k miles on the dash. From reading threads, I gathered the a compression test may be a wise diagnostic before going for the install. I talked to a mod friendly dealer here in Chicago (Berman's) and the master tech said that I could do the compression test but he didn't think it would be necessary. He feels that the stock internals are solid and shouldn't be an issue. He DID however say that he thinks I should change my timing cover gaskets as the increases oil pressure from boost could cause them to blow or leak.

So I wanted to bring it to the community and ask for your thoughts/help; especially since there are wayyy more boosted Z's than G's.

Thanks!
