I am ready to TT.. What would you do?

I am basically ready to TT during the winter.

Would you get the GTM kit or wait it out a few monthes to see what other companies have to offer? HKS? Greddy?

GTM looks pretty solid bro, I assume all the other kits will be more conservative as far as power goes - GTM has been putting out on our HR's.

Yeah I would (and will) go with GTM man. They know our motors inside and out and their kits have had ZERO issues since they released it.

I know Greddy made a kit for the 370 and will be releasing it on one of their SEMA cars, but I don't know if it'll be ready, or available even, for our cars by the end of winter.

Yeah +1 for GTM, just ask Christian. He has over 2,000 miles on his GTM TT kit was absolutely zero issues so far with his engine or tranny.

+1 for GTM bro. They know their stuff. Also you aren't local and sam has great customer service. You can call him anytime of the day and he will talk to you forever. He also calls you to update you in every step they take.

Even if you wait for after SEMA, Greddy hasn't tested their kits on the road like GTM has with the G37

Do it right, do it GTM.. (just made that up lol)

Go for GTM. I've been to the shop many times and talked to the different shop guys. They really know what they are doing. But also keep in mind that even the best turbo kit in the world could give you problems if the installer is half-witted. Throughout my install, I've learned so much about our cars and turbos in general. There are so many different areas where if you dont tighten it will leak, if you overtighten it'll break. From my experience, the GTM kit is very well designed and made. You can make adjustments to make everything fit well. The quality is also superb, I broke a few drill bits while tapping holes on the stainless steel intercooler piping.

However, there are also a few things that the GTM kit slightly lacks in. Although it's full kit and includes everything you need, there are some things that GTM expect you to do yourself. For example, the PCV fittings are not prefitted onto the pipping, you have to tap your own holes.

I dont have any experience with the greddy kit but I can tell you that you can't go wrong with GTM. Even though Sam and the guys at the shop are extremely busy and are hard to contact sometimes, they are very responsible and will take care of you.

I had some issues with my flashed tune and Sam personally tuned my car on the dyno. He spent at least an hour dyno tuning and working out all the small issues to make sure the car runs smooth.

If you've got the cash now then do it. GTM from everything I read has an awesome product so no reason to wait. I'm personally waiting for their SC set up.

I am in the same boat as you. I am going to wait until after sema to see what else pops up just in case. But unless something crazy comes out I will be going with GTM.

w3rd! Ill be at SEMA on the lookout for anything G37 related! so far GTM has a super great kit hands down and the fact that their here on the forums right with us is kinda cool.

Im keeping an eye out for the Greddy kit at sema, just because sometimes they rely on their name to sell products and dont exactly make the best performing kits. aka ****ty log manifolds and small 18g turbos with crappy intercooler cores. and i cant stand when they do that. so ill put them on blast if i see that for the G37!!
