So, after much back and forth, I decided on the WORKS Turbo kit. I know the haters out there will bitch and moan, but for the money, reliability of the components, easy of install, and power levels that I'm looking for it's a no brainer. I will be ordering this next week! Those who are interested or on the fence about this kit I'll be creating a thread on the progress.

Work's Kit should be on it's way any day now. Now all I need to do is give Dynosty a call tomorrow and setup a time for install and tune!

You cite eas(e)y of install as one of your deciding factors in which kit you got and then in the next post, post that you have to schedule an install and tune date with dynosty???

So you're having someone else install it, but you care about ease of install in the kit????

Yes I do...I care about how many hundreds of dollars I'm paying in labor to have it done. I also may do it myself depending on labor hours and price quoted.

Nope. However, I can get one lol. I'll try getting one tomorrow. I don't have a gopro so it will be shitty cell phone quality. Thanks though I love these rims on the car.

If anyone is interested in either my BORLA UEL or PLM EL header let me know. I will be selling one when the WORK'S Turbo kit comes in, just not sure yet which one I want to use.

Kit will be here Wednesday! Setting up my appointment with my local exhaust shop to swap my EL PLM header on and get the Borla UEL off, and fabricate custom 3" piping for my Q300 replica from the header back! Trying to get everything in place before it gets here ! Also, will be selling my OFT soon since Dynosty doesn't tune with it.

Best of luck with the build. Love your past cars too. Had friends with a z32 that was a monster! 725whp if memory serves, the evo and 3000gt as well. gave me a walk down memory lane. Hahaha.

Glad to hear it man and thanks for the kind words! I still have a soft spot for 3000's and miss mine at times, the Evo and Z32 were a blast too. Hoping to get some of that feeling back with the turbo
