Here's the dilly...You cannot run a turbo with the Stillen Y-pipe and Greddy exhaust, you need 3'' piping all the way out d00d...
If you buy a turbomaxima.com kit from hal or whomever else, they come with a full custom exhaust included!

Sounds like you might wanna doa lot reading about turbo kits before you go ahead and buy one. There's a lot of different ways that a turbo will mess up your engine if it is not tuned properly. It's actually even more of a danger to your transmission, are you 5spd or automatic? If your car is an auto, be prepared to spend a lot of money building it to hold the power.

Of course! Everytime someone has a new question that I want to answer, I just update my page and send them to it, so we have a nice pre-canned answer to any part anyone asks about. This question made me complete my turbo page.

I still think we should make a sticky thread for it. *ahem* moderators *ahem*

The greddy exhaust is 2.5" mandrel bent so you can get away with it under about 10psi, but you wont gain as much power as with a full 3" mandrel bent exhaust.

Cause after 20k km's, if you drive it hard, most nissan automatic transmissions break.
