So I'm finally looking to turbo my car, but I'm still trying to figure out what is all needed to get my build right. Looking to do twin turbo of course any recommendations, and no kits I'm looking to start from scratch. I've heard that turbonectics is good any thoughts?

If you're looking to do your own you can look into the CJM manifolds. There is a thread about it in the forced induction section. As far as turbonetics, do you mean the turbos themselves? Most guy end up using Garret brand turbos as they are pretty proven turbos.

Unless you have enough experience to do this all yourself, you may be better off with a kit. For twins, go with Fast Intentions. The other good option is the Boosted Performance single kit.

Get in the Forced induction area and read for 2-3 weeks whilst using the search function. Great help.

For a "normal" turbo setup? No. Once you decide to push past 550+ whp on pump you need to plan for a motor build at some point.

I'm in the same boat as you. (Sort of) I want to boost my z the right way so I'm gathering as much info as I can now so that I can do everything in a year or two. I'm also collecting little pieces here and there to complement whichever kit I decide on. However please read through the boost section of the forums prior to making a new thread. There's a wealth of knowledge from those who have bought turn key kits to those who have built their own and they can guide you through everything you'd like to know.

Judging but the effort put into your research and post I'm going to have to say find the cheapest turbo on eBay, buy some tubing from home depot , and get a lot of duct tape then have fun.

Piggybacking this thread I know there is no safe WHP number before having to start to plan to rebuild motor.

Lets assume great tuning and fuel. Is 500WHP a safe number on stock bottom end?

Almost all of the FI TT cars are stock motors running 500+whp
