Care to share? Or PM me some details?

Prob port n polished manifolds, and turbo housing? How did you get custom housings

ya i port match and radius everything, heat wrap things and reroute things to stay out of the heat, etc. I make sure theres no room for any coupler leaks anywhere and stuff. nothing crazy just time consuming stuff. I think i posted that it took me something like 80 hours to do the install to my liking? Result has been daily driven without a single issue though, I have yet to service anything in the roughly 30,000 boosted miles (cant recall exactly what mileage i installed at, lost track this winter when my battery died in storage and my trip odometers got reset).

Well done. I guess this kit has more potential then I thought.

Well, the one thing I have always disliked about my Z was its low-end grunt, or lack thereof. As such, I tried to choose a kit that would remedy that. I have had turbo cars before so I definitely know the tradeoff (e.g. the rush of a turbo that breathes at the top-end), but I figured I would try to stick to fixing my gripe. If it ends up being too anemic up top, I can always switch to 18 or 20, or even a GTX.
