*****Fast Intentions "Twin Turbo Kit" is here*****

Well, I didn't anticipate my first post spawning such reactions lol. Let me be clear, I'd go back to them again for a tune, and they were all very personable.

Well, I didn't anticipate my first post spawning such reactions lol.

Let me be clear, I'd go back to them again for a tune, and they were all very personable. They even bought my buddy and I free lunch when the tuning took longer than anticipated because we'd driven overnight, hadn't slept in over 24 hours, and hadn't eaten in perhaps half that time either.

It's the pricing of the other work that's at issue here and probably best left for another thread.

Anyway, back on topic: TT kit is awesome; I wantz it and will own one, and wanted to make you aware of my impressions.

Just wanted to clear a few things up, I know Forged has not ironed out how many hours our kit will take to install, and obviously until they have hands on experience they will not be able to give an accurate quote. I would give Sharif a call because it sounds like there is definitely some misunderstanding going on.. Just wanted to throw this out there.
I know there will be a lot more info once we get everything completely ironed out and we will definitely keep the community posted.

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

As to this...please do keep updated...because I'd much rather hear from ya'll what your estimated completion time would be, so that I can start crunching what I figure to be a worthy number if I'm paying someone

Get your car to Specialty Z and let Seb and LJ do the work. Fair price + nothing will blow up. It's a good deal, that's what I would/will do at some point.

Where are they located? If it's not near TN, I'd require convincing to road-trip or a very decent trailer price.

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.

Ah hell, that's much more manageable than; thanks Sharif! I know all of us were working on fumes so it's entirely possible and probable. We had a great time too, minus the waiting, which was forgivable and understandable given the situation. Expect to hear more from me then in the coming months
