More turbo kit options (all new kit from BP) - Page 6 - MY350Z.COM Forums

Just sayn'n.

As for the reference to the JTran kit, which is a twin scroll kit, I did not copy it.

Compare the manifold pipe routing of that kit to my:

Jtran Studios Presents turbo kits (fabrication thread) - Page 2 - MY350Z.COM Forums

The turbo location is shared, but the primary and very important design difference is the equal length primaries on the BP manifolds, which separates the two kits. They also made the passenger side primary go over top of the transmission, which again is very different from a design point of view.

As far as the whole "mid-mount" turbo stuff goes...the term wasn't even around till I started with the very first kit (which was a true mid-mount since it was right in the middle of the car) on my own 350z back in 2009 .
And again I say buy all means it's u and yes you did it first on 350z and I was the first one that did it on a 370z just saying...and yes I went with ur style of manifold but I changed the fact I'm not going to run a flex pipe so I don't run it all the weight on one side of my headers (yes I know about thermal expanson). I went with my charge pipe the way you did but I did be4 u released your version 2 by about 4 months and my manifold and turbo can charge pipe seats about a inch higher there yours as my kit the sub frame is the lowest point of the car. My charge pipe and turbo don't make knocking noises like ur kit does(3 of ur customers have pm and said publicly) my kit runs a intake off the turbo to behind the bumper. So because I built the same style manifold as you
(equal length primaries)I'm copied you. But I ran anti surge housing first (on the 370z) ran the charge piping first (on the 370z) and 3in charge pipes I copied you....I built ur V2 kit be4 you thought about it...so I guess we share the same style manifold but mine is solid. As for the term mid mount I'm glad u made. Cuz it was it was a great idea. And once I give you props and I'm not trying to start a war but as for the 370z goes I did it my style I know you did somethings on the 350z but that's a different car. Last time I checked I we r on the370z.com and I own a 370z so I think I'm good...I well be releasing this kit once the R&D is done and I talk to AK and being sponsor of this great forum and I well beat your price by 1500 dollars and add a fuel return....as far as people thinking I copied every aspect. There is a million ways to skin a cat I did it this way. I'm sorry I copied a version of ur kit that your that you didn't have out yet...congrats to you being the King of mid mount turbos....but I'm not going away anytime soon..
