Boosted Performance V 2.0

You also want to make sure you know what fuel is being ran. Both the cars in my post are running 93. If the FI TT kit is running E85 the torque will come on much earlier because you can run more aggressive timing. The only real way to compare kits is to have them truly side by side, like in my comparison (same dyno, same tuner, stock block, etc.). I'd love to see how a similar built FI kit compares to mine but unfortunately there aren't any in Houston.

It was the 91 oct map I was looking at. The torque fell off a lot sooner versus the above which holds torque at an almost constant place in the upper band. Yeah I would love to see a direct comparison of the two kits. I'm sure they would be very similar and very different in a lot of ways. Here's the image I was looking at btw: http://fastintentions.com/images/370z/370zflyer_01.jpg

I just love the fact the BP kit is so DIY friendly...the FI kit looks like pulling the engine for the install would be easier than trying to do it with the engine in the engine bay

DIYing it is the main reason I'm in the boosted club. I was either going to live with NA or move onto another platform until I stumbled across Sasha's kit. Took me a lot of research and time spent on the lift until I was comfortable it would actually fit on a G37 but obviously I pulled the trigger, cuz here I am with the first BP G37.

DIYing a TT kit, although possible, would be a mountain of an undertaking. With the limited space I wouldn't feel completely comfortable I got everything installed properly without pulling the motor. Tony's kit is fantastic and I have nothing bad to say about it but I wasn't in the market for it because I didn't want to pay someone else to install it.

You are always going to have pro's and con's for any FI setup. Some things TT does better and some things Twin Scroll Single does better.

Yeah, that's why I'm doing a lot of comparison stuff now. I know I'll eventually boost the Z since I had a boosted car before and it's just too easy to make power. Fortunately I moved to a platform that doesn't rip apart your engine and transmission when you go over 350 whp! haha. Subarus are a nightmare...never again...

I have a small request for you sir. If you ever do any in car vids can you do one in 2nd gear from 10 mph to 6k rpm? I'm just curious to see if it's quite noticeable when the turbo spools or if it's very linear. My wrx drove me insane with the slingshot like acceleration through corners :/
