I'm going through everything right now. Sam has already called me 3 times to check how I'm doing and if everything is ok... I really am speechless... Even the zip lock bags are heavy duty, there are more packing peanuts and bubble wrap than there are parts. I really don't see why anyone would buy from someone else. I'm taking tons of pics. I will upload once I'm done.

That's awesome. The suspense is building!

Uploading pics to photobucket now

Ron 12-10-2011 05:59 PM

Here we go! If anybody wants to see something in specific I'll go dig it out and take pics :D

Without question, their construction, and especially packaging, is incredibly disciplined. Great stuff going on there!

Now if only they sent a small mechanic inside the box to install the kit then we would be all set.

Im jealous. I paid for the same kit and didn't get tial blow off valves.

That's not cool. :screwy:

What did this entire kit cost you, if you don't mind me asking Ron?

Footloose301 12-11-2011 11:08 AM

Is there a reason you got the stage 2 over stage 1? I thought the stage 1 is better if you're not building the engine and the stage 1 builds boost quicker, right?

modme 12-11-2011 11:18 AM

From what I remember, stage 2 is more recommended for the VQ37VHR engine due to the higher exhaust flow. I vaguely remember someone having boost creep problems with the stage 1 .60 housing.

I saw people ordering kits and receiving turbosmart BOVs and EWGs. The reason is bc their product is more readily available than TiAl, at least to GTM. I specifically asked Sam that I wanted TiAl, just like listed on the website, and he did it. Turbosmart did not have the color I wanted for the BOVs :p

I was going to go with the stage 1 but then I figured, any stock Z producing 550rwhp will eventually let go, so if I'm gonna build the engine might as well build it to support more power. The spool time between the two kits is not thaaaat big and the stage 2 is capable of aprox 750rwhp vs the 550rwhp of the stage 1.

First time I hear that heh. Did that person have external or internal wastegates? Boost controller? electronic or manual? Many things can cause boost creep I don't think its the kit. But I might be wrong, it really is the first time I hear about it.

Footloose301 12-11-2011 11:37 AM

Oh. I didn't know you had intentions of building the engine in the future.

theDreamer 12-11-2011 11:38 AM

The main reason is the price between 1 & 2 is so minor and the build speed of boost between the kits is almost none honestly.
Plus, for a little bit of extra money you have more room to grow in the future if you plan to.

This is the package. It saves you a couple of hundred vs buying individually. GTM Motorsports*::*PERFORMANCE UPGRADES*::*GTM TURNKEY® PACKAGES*::*GTM TWIN TURBO PACKAGE WITH 3" DOWN PIPES AND OPEN DUMPS I added to it the oil cooler, windshield washer reservoir and Fuel stabilizer kit.

They also have this one which comes with similar parts than the ones I purchased separately: GTM Motorsports*::*PERFORMANCE UPGRADES*::*GTM TURNKEY® PACKAGES*::*GTM TWIN TURBO PACKAGE WITH 3" DOWN PIPES AND OPEN DUMPS -PLUS
