So my plans for bringing back my RB25DET from JP are shot, Navsup declined my drivetrain as "house hold goods". Which was to go in a 240sx, i think i died a little when i heard that..

But now I'm onto something a little more practicable, a 2003 to 2006 G35, and I have bunch of questions about the VQ35DE. (G35 over 350z because of back seats). Got pre-app for my loan, so don't have a car just yet, still researching, counting on some you alls knowledge to help make a few decision .

Which turbo kit is the best? I've seen a couple, the turbonetrics ST (5.5k) Vs greddy TT (7.6k) (ceramic turbos... anyone got one?? how is it?) is the turbonetics ST kit really better then any TT kit on the market? (so says its' ad) and it's cheaper..

How much psi can the stock internals take? Which breaks first? I heard the rods were the weak point in the VQ. T/F..? education please.

I'd like my internals to be able to handle around 25psi at least, safely. If you have had a build like this, which cams, pistons, rods, ect did you use, what did you think? worth the $??

Not really aiming for a specific HP, just trying to get the most out of my $. The G35 is to expansive for me drift or race so it's just a dd, but i can't help tinkering w/ my stuff.

don't flame, don't waste your time, or mine, or any other reader, just go rub one out and get one w/ life assuming you have one...

my thanks to everyone who adds useful info
