Message 9/10 times. When it comes to intakes, the better performing ones are going to be around $100 at least. You can get the one off ebay but it isnt made with the same materials and I doubt it flows as well.

As far as the power chip they sell for under $10. Common sense should tell you to stay away from that. If other vendors sell there chips for $350+ why would someone sell something compariable for $5? They wouldnt, thats why.

You need to be very careful with anything that is messing with your ECU programs. If you run your car too lean, you could easily damage your engine. And that mony you thought you saved by buying the cheaper chip, just eneded up costing you thousands. It is ALWAYS better to be safe than sorry. Unfortunetly this is usually a lesson that has to be learned the hard way. But if you are one of the few that listens to others, dont buy inferior mods, period.

Have fun with the Z, but dont try to be too cheap. Shop around with online vendors. Most have around the same prices but several will have better. Find out what parts are made for our cars and which ones work by surfing this site and looking at people's mod lists. The most popular parts are not popular just because, they are popular because they work.

Buy JWT Pop Charger (Compariable brands HKS, Apexi)
Buy JWT ECU (Or Maybe ASHPEC ECU-although some will argue this one as well)
