Worth it, to go F.I.???

The amount of power Brazilbro is pushing looks plenty for daily driving. This car has plenty of room for more power to safely accelerate briskly in 1st and 2nd, and

The amount of power Brazilbro is pushing looks plenty for daily driving. This car has plenty of room for more power to safely accelerate briskly in 1st and 2nd, and safely have a bit of fun passing in 3rd and 4th without being wreckless. I drive my dad's z32-tt, and it is quite fun even at half throttle.

I'm happy to say I have officially placed an order for the GTM stage 2 tt. Set will consist of the kit, gtr intake Plenum, and f.I. hfc to compliment the Tdx exhaust. Roughly under 450whp 6.5psi tailored for daily driving. I don't drive hard... just enjoy the feeling with big grin on my face.

What was the cost of the kit + plenum? This is same setup I plan to order.

Digi... what's up bro.

So you decided to go FI with a TT kit? dang... congrats man. Can you tell me why the GTM TT kit and not the GTM SC or even a Stillen SC set up?

And if you don't mind me asking, how much did it set you back and are you planning on doing the install yourself?

And another general question for all you FIers... what's your plan with the car once you want to get rid of it/trade it in/sell it for another car? Obviously, the 7-10k invested you won't get it all back right? So do you have to go through the process of parting it all out to stock form before selling?

I haven't even entertained the possibility of selling the car. If it comes time or if something comes up where I have to get rid of the car I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

If I thought of all of the "what if's" I probably wouldn't have ever gone TT.

Let's face it, there is nothing rational about spending $10k+ on a FI kit to begin with.

It's all about the giant F*cking smile when the boost kicks in.

Well said. In the end, it's all about the joy and the love we have for our cars, isn't it?

Perhaps other FIers can respond with their thoughts.

Also, I have to make sure I think of a good way to justify an FI kit to my wife if the time comes
