Huh. Okay, well I've only seen a few set-ups done and they were less expensive and didn't need an intercooler, but boost came on later and it definitely didn't have the power potential of a traditonal set-up.

Maybe they've developed better systems for the Z -- I'll take you guys on your word on this one.

We're talking a rear mounted kit here, right? I didn't mean that comment for a single turbo under the hood (although you will typically get a broader power band for a TT kit over a large single one, usually at the cost of less top end).

EDIT: I just looked at the power/torque curve on the 350Z forum -- the boost curve is nuts...

It looks like they're running an extra big turbo to fill the piping, and there's pretty much nothing until almost 4K, then the power comes on and hits like a freight train.

That's fine for the drag strip, but it's gonna feel a little ungainly on a road car.

Okay -- I'll step off my soap box -- if you guys want that -- go for it.

I'm not a personal fan of torque curves that look like that...
