I know performance and gas mileage is an oxymoron, but coming from two Supras, including a modified '89 Supra Turbo, I can appreciate what boost can do for performance.

I had considered the new M3, but given its poor gas mileage (compared with the 335i), this is really discouraging me. Then again, having something like 14 mpg city, 20 mpg hwy is something I can live with for the new Z if this is what this kit would allow me with mild to moderate boost.

MPG shouldn't be a problem and it really depends on your driving style. If you drive moderately you should not be experiencing a big loss of MPG. I speak for myself when i say this, if I went TT I sure as hell would drive it like I stole it. As you head 145 + mph, you have an ear to ear grin, on your face, the blast of the Blowoff valve going whoosh, and the push you back into your seat feeling at the blip of your gas pedal... Sigh... who cares about mileage at this point.

Well put. If you hit the cruise control at 75mph, you will get an easy 20-25mpg no problem.

Sharif,
I'm new to the Z and Nissan! I've always like the Audi/VW product and hung with the guys at Eurotech Atlanta, not to far from you! I work right down the road from you at the Audi dealership! I'd like to stop by and say hello sometime! I drive by all the time! I am interested in boost but do not need 500whp. I get to drive the Audi R8,S5,S4,TTS, etc etc with training on various tracks around N.A., so that's fun enough for me. But I would like more power!! Would a smaller turbo, lower boost type of option be out there?
I had a 2008 TT VR6 that I was thinking about boosting with an HPA kit! I flew up to check out the Detroit Auto show and noticed the Z wasn't there so I looked for it and BAM! It's "All Business" look won me over...nevermind it was cheaper then the TT to own! Maybe I'll swing by during lunch if you guys are around then!!?
