That is such a general question. What turbo? What other supporting mods? etc.

Yes, we can give you pointers, but please specify a bit better.

-Turbo or supercharger
-What turbo if applicable
-If S/C are you running an intercooler, aftercooler
-How far are you willing to push your car?

Plus you will probably want to look into a good FMU and FPR (you might have this, due to the upgraded fuel system you have already) but possibly a programmable FMU

This thread is talking about 3rd gen maximas - totally different injectors and totally different ballgame.

For your 4th gen, phase II 300ZXTT 370s physically drop in, but you've still got to tune them somehow.

Yeah 3rd gen ecu are programmed to run little 180cc injectors. Which is a bid step from 370. You will need some engine management to get that to work.

safc will do you fine. Dial the timing at 15 and your set for 10psi.
I ran 370cc and about 17 degrees base timing and had no problem at 12psi with a safc 2

flywheel+turbo=no no
your gonna hate the way the car launches. i have the jwt flywheel and the car gets into the rpms so quick its like i dont have a first gear. take it from me, get some feed back on things before u spend your money. adding alot of boltons at once is no good. you wont know where your hp is coming from and one part could counter act with another. if you ever look at a dyno chart from a product, they either use a stock car or if its modded 9 times outa 10 u lose the hp some where else and gain it in another spot...

I've driven multiple cars with lightweight flywheels and turbos, including a couple maximas and never had a problem with any of them.

Hey I have a light weight flywheel with no problems and it works great to spin it up faster.
But Hey lets not get on a flywheel debate. let stay on topic

SAFC = a bandaid. PM maxmaxima91 about tuning your stock ecu. Then you'll have stock drive ability with no bucking or anything, plus safe and powerful boost.
