If you can point me to a turbo tuner that offers CARB certification and a 3 year 36,000 mile warranty, please point me to them. I have never seen that for any other aftermarket turbo setup, so I don't expect any breakthrough for the 370z.

I would restate the argument as the only benefit that turbos have is a higher hp output.
I do want more power than stock, but I don't need 600 whp to be satisfied.
If you are located in California, there are many more considerations. You are correct, in that CARB exemption will not be earned with any TT kits in the foreseable future.

Simplified installation and less parts, typically translates into less costs, and lower price. The 3 year warranty offer by the Stillen kit in the 350Z world, is very restrictive, nearly to the point of being worthless.

In terms of reliability, they both have their pros and cons, but from our experience, TT's are just as safe as SC's when installed, tuned, and setup properly. The perception that SC's are safer, stems from the fact that you have a higher margin for error in tuning/setup.

Ask anyone that has driven a SC 350Z, and a TT 350Z back to back. I promised you if money/CARB was not a consideration, everyone would want the TT.
