Shoot them a message via their contact form. They respond there much faster (as I would suspect... handling forum posts can become a mess).

They're updating the my370z.com post much more than here.

We just added the Group Buy thread here: https://www.myg37.com/forums/group-b...ml#post3610829

You'll need to inform us if you have the ICC since there is a supplemental bracket that you will need.

The group buy is NOT for the AWD car since it is a completely different kit. Here is the link to our AWD kit on our website: GTM Motorsports FORCED INDUCTION GTM VHR G37X AWD (TURN KEY EXTREME) TWIN TURBO KIT

The AWD kit requires different motor mounts, different oil pan and a whole host of other major differences from the 2wd kit since there is a differential and driveshafts where our regular turbo kit puts the turbos.

Our Turn-Key kit comes with a tune that raises the line pressure in the transmission to help it cope with the added power. Unless you increase the boost beyond the basic kit, you will be fine without a valve body upgrade. However, the valve body upgrade is a very nice setup and will transform the way the car drives. Here is a link to a review thread one of our customers started for our valve body upgrade: https://www.myg37.com/forums/engine-...de-review.html

It should be fine with those braces since the intercooler piping does not deviate very far from where the stock intake piping is.

hello, I don't think this has been asked before, not even in the 370z forum:
why is there not a turn-key kit WITH external waste gates and down pipes ?

is there not much difference in performance (eg ability to control level of boost) in going from internal to external waste gates, for the intended levels of boost and horse power?

Wow good pricing.... A few inquiries if I may... Is this kit DIY for the turnkey? When the order is placed what's the turn around time?

I would safely suspect 2-3 months from prep to ship once they receive payment from everyone. The faster you pay, I assume, the faster you get your kit.

The idea of the Turn-Key kit is minimal modification to the car. The Turn-Key kit bolts up to the stock cats. The external wastegate option requires 3" downpipes that replace the stock cats and ends with a pair of 3" 2-bolt flanges that do not bolt up to the stock cat-back. You would need a 3" cat-back exhaust to bolt up to the 3" downpipes. However, we've actually had a few people that want the Turn-Key kit with the 3" downpipes and external wastegates so we will be looking into adding that as a 4th option.

There is definitely a benefit to having external wastegates for better boost control and more power. The downside is additional cost.

If you have strong mechanical skills, you can install the kit yourself. We will have an installation manual so you can DIY.

For the group buy, we are working on getting an eta on when the kits will be ready to ship. After the group buy, we will have these kits on the shelf and ready to ship within 1 - 2 business days.

Good news everybody!

By popular request, we are offering a third option to our financing programs. We are proud to introduce our layaway plan so people have another way to purchase our products. This will be a third option for people that want to pay for the kit over the course of a year without paying any interest.

The biggest advantage of this offering is the ability to lock in the group buy price with the layaway plan. Even though you can pay off the kit over the course of a year, it will be for the group buy price as opposed to full retail.

So, let’s say that we reach Tier 3 pricing, you will need to put 30% down to lock in the price and may take up to a year to pay off the kit.

Hello Sam,

Do you have any information regarding the terms/rates for the other finance options? I think it will make people more appealed with getting in to this kit if there are rough ideas on what the terms/rates are.

Thanks for the updates !

At the risk of asking a dumb question, will this kit be compatible with a VQ35HR G35 sedan?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response BB. Makes my decision to go with a supercharger setup that much easier.
