Cheapest FI setup

I think GTM's Stage II SC kit has proven that you don't have to get "less power" with a SC... It's more like different power... Turbos spool, then boost and feel great but you've got to stay in the boost. SCs are always there... They give you a linear curve but lack the kick in the pants feeling that abrupt boost creates. That is not to say that one is better than the other... You need to evaluate your goals and budget then go from there.

For the Z34 platform, I say SC. For the Z33... Now that is another story.

Umm wait.. what? <-- that was my reaction when i saw your post, but after I saw your signature, it explained it all.

You know that SC stage2 is no where near turbo stage 1 torque power right?

Ha ha ha. Yeah man, I know, but it is a significant step over Stage I SC. The point I was trying to make is that it all comes down to personal preference, goals, and budget. My Z is DD for about a year and will see some track days... so the SC made sense for me. Believe me, I have plenty of TT love and maybe one day when she's not the DD I will change it up... I get bored easy

I do want to add though that the Stage II kit does come really close to some of the TT numbers. Superior... definitely not, but a worthy alternative. There is also the aspect of the torque curve and such but that's for another thread.
