Yeah, I don't know. If they like it, good on'em, it is an improvement over stock power, so there is something to like. I did a quick google search to see what the dyno charts look like with these trunk turbos, on the larger displacement engines....a 2005 Vett with twin STS kit:

The final numbers look great, and maybe that is the focus...but that is like an old school T88 2jZ dyno. For the displacement, there is nothing happening at 3,500rpm for example, whereas on the 370z, you'd be over 400ft/tq below 3500rpm, and it revs out to 7,500rpm

This trans am is even worse:

Turbos are already well beyond maxed out, and the power band is about 2,500rpm.

I'v always been a big fan of power under the curve, vs. the peak hp/tq.

At the end of the day, it is hard to cheat physics.


Not trying to argue, and there is a product out there for everybody. I'v had customers that after some conversations, I had suggested they hit you up for a S/C kit, or Nick@SOHO for a top mount, Tony@F.I, or RJM...depending on what they are looking to get out of the car, and what they define as "fun".
