the greddy is twin. as is the PE and anyone else that i have seen. the only one that i have ever seen is this one from japan........

being a V6 with limited space, it will take something like this to fit a larger turbo and all of the necessary plumbing. i would love to see the actual turbo on this G to see how they did it.........

ah dr, sorry about that, didn't know the greddy is a tt setup. but yeah, i looked at the engine bay and i agree it's very space limited. i wonder how they are going to put big turbo in it too

The engine won't blow up..its just that some internal mods need to be done once the horsepwer reaches more than 400hp to the wheels. Otherwise, the engine can handle up to 400hp to the wheels without any engine modifications. Pretty good if you ask me...

But ya, i got to see that car at the g35 meet a few months ago. The turbo sounds awesome! The body kit he has is really nice too. Expensive though...

Oddly enough, there are already quite a few superchargers and turbos for the G35. For superchargers, stillen, vortech, ati, and dreamworkes make one. For turbochargers, greddy has a twin turbo, Power enterprises is making a tt setup, as well as Jim Wolf technology
