-GTM Bar and Plate Core Intercooler vs Greddy tube and fin core (bar and plate is proven to be more efficient )
-GTM Ball Bering water and oil cooled Garret turbo VS Greddy journal bushing type turbo and oil cooled only (ball bearing turbos spool faster,more efficient,have a much longer life span and for the 370z oil temp issues going with water cooled turbo is no brainer.
-GTM kit does come with tial 50mm blow off valves VS Greddy No blow off valves are supplied.
-GTM kit is complete with fuel and engine management VS Greddy does not come with neither (have to by separate)
-GTM engine managemen is plug and play (via flash ) Greddy is piggy back system required cutting splicing engine harness.
-GTM kit has a lot of room to grow (6 different turbo stages 9 different a/r ) VS GReddy has one turbo option only available.
-GTM kit cheaper and has better value, you get more for what you pay for VS Greddy
-GTM offers 2 different couplers colors VS Greddy only one
-GTM offers k&n filter VS Greddy foam filters

Lets not forget SAM GTM customer service is by far the greatest. People how many other companies do you know that you can call at 1:00 am and still get help through problems? Also that 1am call was cali time so I am 3 hours ahead of him. I wanna know when SAM sleeps lol. Going with GTM in my opinion is a no brainer. OP give SAM a call and talk to him I promise you he wont let you down.

For those of you worried about the windshield washer reservoir, you can buy an aftermarket reservoir that mounts in the trunk. GTM sells the kit for something like $100.

Go buy a twin turbo kit at turbo-kits.com and see if they will sit on the phone with you for over an hour helping you install the kit you just purchased from them.

Op asked for the differance and which one was better. Sam came in and cleared the differances up. If greddy gave a damn why didn't they post, or is it because they aren't on the forums listening to what there customers want or need. I am not trying to attack you and sorry if it seems that way but that seemed like a very unneeded comment

Yes I do plan on dyno testing as SAM want's to know what my air to fuel ratio is before I get on the car. The last person that did the home install modme is who I am thinking you are refuring to. He didn't choose to have the conservative tune. When you buy the turn key kit you have to email sam your ecu #, and then he sends you your new tune. Every car is different so there for the tune has to be conservative or you might blow up your engine. The conservative tune is to protect you and GTM from possible engine failure and pointing the finger. Once I get my A/F ration I will call sam and let him know what it is and he will let me know what adjusments he will make. I didn't get that far yet so I am not a 100% positive if he will send me a new tune once he gets the info on how my car is reacting. My power goals are 500rwhp, that is plenty for the street anything more is just asking for problems with the law or accidents. I am a few hours away before starting my car to see how the build went. I have to connect vacum lines, add power stearing fluid and put some oil in my engine then I will be ready to go. In other words I am going to find out what I forgot to tighten lol. Also I think I am the first person to do this on a 370z as a home project. Like I said I plan on doing a full review of the product and problems that I ran into during installation as soon as I get the car done.

The tune that you have is the final tune we have a proven formula that we use and it does work spot on. it is always a good idea to verify the install before start enjoying the car. you need to make sure the a/f and the boost is where is suppose to be and that a common procedure in any force induction install .

Keep up the good work .

Sam
