I hear there is a turbo kit that has been out for a while

A very respectable performance shop in my town(www.rtky.com) has told me that there is a company in New Zealand, (I'm assuming the same one where Ethan got his header from) has a turbo kit out for the maxima. I'm just wanting to know if anyone has heard any specfics on this? i haven't heard any talk of it on the org, just people taking about custom ones that have been done but havent been put into production yet. Thanks

Isn't the NZ engine size 2.5L translating into a problem?

Of course I know nothing about Turbos so that fact could be irrelevant.

They have both the VQ25 and the VQ30 in the Kiwi cars.

Why support an outsider when one of our own (Nigel) has provided a well laid out kit at a reasonable price?

not necessarily true...I know plenty of shops around MD, that do Stage 1 and even 2, custom turbos everyday for around $3-4k flat out(EIP, Autothority, etc.)...but I understand what you are saying though...its definently "pay to play"
