I am in. I want a supercharger from either Stillen or GTM, at teh moment I am leaning towards GTM. I want a self install kit that I can do in my garage. I am thinking by this summer would be a good time for me.

Thanks to some of the threads, I now have to put myself on this list of ppl interested a group buy for these things....

1. I wouldn't build it for another 6 months, but if I can get a deal I'll buy it tomorrow
(don't have the car yet).
2. Depends on cost, I would want a complete kit though, with some flexibility to fine tune according to my personal preferences.
3. Tuner, (assuming you mean who makes the kit, not who installs it) depending who comes out with the best kit, it's hard to say when they are still working on it.

(I would be looking for a good company to install it through, although depending on the build I could and might do it myself. I would be looking for a reputable company in Southern Mass. But I'll look into that once we hit that point, don't want to highjack the thread)

Just made up my mind. I'm in for the SC kit as long as it is in the 5-6k area.

since the pre-order price for GTM is very competitive, there is no valid point in organizing a group buy for GTM SC kit at this point.............also most likely for Stillen as well.......

per SAM at GTM, he will work out a group discount for TT kit..........so just hang tight......

i will update as needed and whenever i get a new info......

Sorry for kinda-jackin the thread.. hope this isn't too far off topic.
Just because it kicks in at 3k rpm doesn't mean it isn't laggy, again, I said lag was relative. I don't know which turbo he's rocking but if that thing was closer to the engine it would surely spool quicker, simple laws of physics..

Yep. I believe that ideally you want the turbos mounted as close to the collector as possible. It just makes sense when you think about it.

Anyways, for my purposes, if I go FI it will be an SC kit. I am comfortable tackling the install myself and don't really want to complicate my life (and financial situation) with a TT kit... because if I went TT I would be ordering the works.

OT: Have any pics of your Z? I've been thinking about powdercoating my wheels black.
