Message	One of the performance shops I worked at specialized in F-Bodys, Vettes, GTO's, etc. I had to do a few of these installs and to be honest I wasn't impressed. Especially when I sat in a car with a correct turbo setup albeit requiring more movement/relocation/modification of stuff in the engine bay. The lag difference was clear and very noticeable. Why not maximize the true design of our cars? We are just now really tapping into the true potential of these cars. Their efficient design has a very high ceiling if you can truly capitalize on every aspect of it. I'd recommend focusing on things that maximize the Nissan engineers efficient design for the Z32TT, I think you'd find it superior in all aspects.
