Correct me but I believe you don't have to remove the motor to install the FI kit where the AAM you do? Just something else to consider.

It's recommend that you remove the engine for the FI kit too...

to keep fingers and knuckles in useable condition then dropping the engine is pretty crucial lol

That's some Louisiana hospitality right there! You'd do just fine by me sir.

Digging what Cosmo said, sounds like the kit must be pretty easy, but going to have to agree with this one. Then again, isn't that why we pay someone else to do it? To keep our knuckles and baby soft hands for the ladies?:rofl2:

Texas hospitality but I love any cooking that involves time in the backyard and copious amount of alcohol so I added crawfish to my repertoire. Got plenty of Cajun buddies so I know mine are LA approved:tup:

A of the mud bugs from a few boils ago.

My pops has a gigantic boil pot if lots of people want to do a big boil. The pot is 3'x3'x3' square with a basket. It can probably fit 120lbs of bugs in one batch.

Ohh, and it's a toss up on which kit for me. They are both good. I think the only thing that has me slightly leaning to FI is the CS. On a side not, I HATE EVERYONE THAT HAS THE FI AND AAM kit!! That is all. Carry on.

Edit: My POP's pot is 2'x2'x2

Haha very nice! I knew our Tx neighbors knew what they were doin! Oh! I can not WAIT to be hated by you. One last thing, what is CS? Probably going to be obvious once you tell me.

I'll play :stirthepot:

AAM kit has less than ideal pipe routing. for instance, look at that 90* turn the boost has to make before entering the intercooler passenger side. Or how close the intake pipe is to touching the the turbo manifold. Or how about those couplers on top of the intercooler. Too many bends and turns. It looks inefficient.


Now go look at FI. Everything has smooth transitions. And both sides passenger and driver...looks equal length and mirror image of each other

Wow, thanks for pointing that put. Amazing input, every bit counts. I think they designed the kit to be truly user friendly on the install and components of the car so EVERYTHING is able to stay in tact that is OEM. The z doesn't have much room in there as is, so I know there has to be some sacrifice made. Think you noticed the major end of it. ;)

I would sacrifice a few extra hours of work (if that even) for the utmost efficiency and power.

You say it 'looks inefficient' based off of your visual inspection of some pictures but I say it 'looks efficient' based off of visual inspection of these pictures. ;)
