I can also vouch that, as least while we were at Forged, the car was treated with kid gloves. I wanted very much for them to get on it and rev it so I could hear it, but they feathered it putting it into place and every time they moved it, they treated your car with the respect such a beautiful work deserves...and it was beautiful.

While I'm not going to let Forged install it after they quoted me at $8 grand for labor, the gearheads 'round these parts and I will pull the engine and do it ourselves...because I've decided I'm going to get this kit in the next few months.

I only have one complaint, and that's that it is as quiet as it is. I don't like monster loud, but I also like a little music with the windows down. I also like to hear BOVs, and this kit's is whisper quiet, at least every time I heard it.

I can get over that though, because the numbers and build quality do not lie.

Much respect, from a future customer. Darth Z is about to add some Force to the dark side.

Remember that the prototype car is still utilizing our 2.5" exhaust. The 3" system will be louder! On the BOV side of things.. you can hear them with the windows up or down. Especially rolling into the throttle at lower RPM's and building only 1-2PSI. My girlfriend took a few videos I will see how they came out and try and get them posted up on here! If you have any questions in between now, and when you are ready to move forward please do not hesitate to call me directly!

Thank you, Blake

Thanks for the words of encouragement, Blake. I actually posted this before I saw ya'lls new exhaust thread, and that sounds much, much better and more to my liking

I have the F.I 3 inch exhaust on my car with 3 inch down pipes and it is not louder than the 2.5 I sold.

Thanks for the kind words about our shop. It was very ironic that you all witnessed the Fast Intentions 370Z roll off the transporter...perfect timing.

With regards to the labor estimate, I can only imagine that something got lost in translation perhaps due to lack of sleep on my part and maybe yours too..haha..but install of the Fast Intentions Twin Turbo Kit is tentatively in the 25 hr range. This works out to about $2700, rather than the $8000 mentioned in your post. I just wanted to correct that for others that are reading through the thread.

It was a real pleasure having you in the shop, and spending time for us. We hope to see you very soon.

8K for labor. That's 72 hours at $110/ hr. OH, They have to pay for that GTR.

Pheonix · 06-04-2013, 02:20 PM

Yeah, no thanks on that bill. They can tune it, or Z1 if Jon ever decides to call me like he says he will...but that install bill ain't happenin'.

SPOHN · 06-04-2013, 02:27 PM

Something is not right. There has to be more to then that. Usually it's 25 hrs to pull and reinstall

Chuck33079 · 06-04-2013, 02:30 PM

I paid for 35 or 36 hours with a GTM kit, clutch and flywheel, gauges, springs+alignment, radiator and AC recharge, boost controller, FI exhaust and some other things. 72 hours is flat-out robbery.

Pheonix · 06-04-2013, 02:32 PM

That's what Sharif quoted me while I was there getting my NA tune and discussing my plans with him, even after acknowledging that it was basically bolt-on and the cleanest kit available. I agree that it doesn't sound right, and there's no way in Huck I'm going to essentially pay for another kit to let someone else install it. If someone else in the GA area can quote me a much better deal I'll reconsider letting a professional do it; otherwise, it's being done here and we'll road-trip for the tune...my buddy is taking the same financial plan I'm on, only he's going the single turbo route. The plan is to install and road trip to dyno tune together with the help of other guys in the club with experience in engine building/turbo builds...though admittedly they're all 300s.

I'd feel better letting a reputable shop do it, but not at that price of nearly another kit.

elperuano · 06-04-2013, 02:44 PM

He prolly thinks its for a GTR. The price quotes I've heard from that place is unheard of. I can't believe people actually pay that.

Pheonix · 06-04-2013, 02:45 PM

I assure you he knows it's for a 370...he was dyno tuning my car as we discussed it.

How long until all these AWESOME comments get cleaned up?

I think it's very useful info! If I ever get this kit I know who NOT to take it to

SAmilitaryman · 06-04-2013, 02:48 PM

My plan is to pay for the kit and get with FI on a time frame they can install it. Then i'll drive out there and make a road trip of it. While they install/tune etc my baby i'll go to the beach and work on finding a different kind of baby. Win/Win for everybody. That and it gives me the peace of mind that the people who made the kit are installing and tuning it on my car.
