Greddy Turbo Kit w/ Emanage
I'm thinking of gettting a Greddy Turbo kit for my AP1. Is there anyone in SD that can dynotune the emanage? What kind of numbers am I looking at (HP & torq) once I slap the kit on and get a good tune? I'll be running a full 3" exhaust.

Although Greddy is a well known company, for some reason, the welds on their Intake dont hold up very well with our cars. Ive known other owners with Infiniti's that have used it with success and no problems. Also, I know a guy on the 'other' forum, and he tracks his car regularly with this kit. His name is speedracer, and he has rebuilt the turbo I believe 2x now, and asked Pang from PFAB to make him a custom Intake as the Greedy Intake due to the welds cracking on it on more than 2 occasions. Not bashing Greddy at all, just saying, if you are concerned about CARB legality and what not, then I believe Comptech makes a kit that is a Supercharger. But as everyone else has said, there are better options for 6K.

only way to pass non carb parts in CA are to take them off come smog time or to smog illegally by paying a crooked smog tech to pass the car with the parts still on it. Both a hassle and costly in the long run. But some people are willing to do this!
if you want CARB legal FI, only options are vortech/comptech for SC or greddy for turbo. personally, if i were to ever go FI again, i'd love to try out a vortech or comptech kit and have no worries when the cops roll around...that's just me though.
It's so stressful when you are rolling around with an illegal engine or FI kit that can't be easily removed. An illegal intake isn't much, it's so easy to swap out when you have to smog or if you get a ticket, but engines and FI kits are such a hassle to remove.

I agree. Greddy is not a bad company. I had a hard on for their CARB legal kit for a LONG time. However, when I did further investigating, the welds on the Greddy Intake Manifold are notorious for cracking very easily. The last thing I wanted was a constant repair. This is why recommended the Vortech/Comptech route since I believe they are the only company aside from Greddy that is CARB legal. I dont know if OP was aware on intake manifold issues and greddy's turbo issues. As far as HP and whether to choose Greddy or no, it's up to OP as well. I just put my two cents based off experience from others and lots of reading. Again, Not bashing Greddy, but for some reason their boost package have certain specific issues with our cars. Not all are of their kits are that way, but many are unfortunately. Thats why I recommended the Supercharger CARB legal Vortech/Comptech route.
