Wow....Another WAY off the mark post.
I guess I can make the argument that Paul Dezod does not even have a tC that he owns with a Dezod turbo kit on it, so that somehow makes the turbo kit he sells Worthless....
ID 10 T Alert! My 16G would run Circles around that T3/T4 you got.

The U shaped tube is meant for easy transition from a Stage 0 to a Stage 1...
But seeing as how you have designed so many superior turbo kits, We are not worthy of your grace.

And so do I. Joe's car is not even a shop car dude. You should look into getting a name change to "I only think I know what I'm talking about". The 12.1 1/4 time was done by ZPI using the 16G. It has already been discussed that trying to go further than that on a built motor, one will naturally upgrade to a larger turbo.
16G is good for the 12sec ranges.
When you want mid 11's and perhaps 10's, it will be time to go larger turbo and built motor.

"Actually, your blowinsmoke again. I asked Kenny directly and he told me they had to rotate it to be able to fit properly with the fans. "
this is true due to the placement of the turbo flange on the mani. it should have been pointed more out, insted of down. but hey it works well for what it is.

Now you hatin because we won it by driving better than the rest.....HHHAHAA!! what a looser. Fool, it's both our cars. I built it. Her name is on the title. Just like with the 350z I have. We say it's our car, but I pay for it.
By the time you spool that T3/T4, I would have crossed the line and down at Starbucks sippin on a coffee eating a danish. I will put a 16G up against your T3/T4 ANY day of the week.
Hell I'll run it like it is right now and still not worry seeing your tail lights.
If you want to start bashing we can take it there.

I was addicted to Street racing pretty much. Now I'm starting to become more addicted to the 1/4 mile track, and keeping it off the streets.
When we were N/A'ed, we had nothing but a full ZPI exhaust on the car, and ran 15.1/15.2 in the 1/4 mile back to back. However, the car ran a best time of 14.8. But I don't consider it a 14sec car. I considered it a low 15sec car during the time it was N/A.
