Well, first dont flame me down for this being my first post. I have wrenched on cars for a long time and have a good understanding of how motors work. Im just looking to further my knowledge on z32 specific questions. Please bare with me as this is my first z car.

Any how I picked up the z in my sig for real cheap. i got a tt motor for about 1500 dollars. the motor is in, and running very nicely the swap was not as terrible as i thought it would be, so this car came with a lot of aftermarket parts. my main question is i installed the fmic and all pipng with bovs. i know these cars are made to run with recirc. valves. the question is, what options do i have ? where can i find factorys/aftermarket recirc. valves, are they worth the price, or should i grit and bare it with the bovs and find a way to make it run right with them (standalone) or any other options?

ok second question this car has turbo motor, trans, and ecu. I have a socket and chip to put in, however there is no name on the chip. I know it is tuned for a cat delete, should i have my ecu socketed and try the chip or just go ahead and go another route?

My final and last question is i have a blitz dual electronic boost controller installed, is this a reputable brand? should i dump it and go another route, i have a wide band a/f meter installed also so i know exactly whats going on, i know the 300zxtt runs roughly 9.5 psi from factory, what can i bump this to safely with my mods? im thinking 12 psi?

THANKS FOLKS

1st Question:I know about recirc setups but I have no idea where to start when it comes to alternatives to aftermarket recirc parts.

2nd Question:Not sure what the Z community thinks about this but my general knowledge tells me do it right the first time and get it done once. I would opt for the stand-alone, but again, IDK if the Z community found away around this that doesn't result in any future issues.

3rd Question:To my knowledge, Blitz is a reputable product some times even great companies make bad products for certain car models and the rest of their lineup is amazing. I would do some more research on this one. As for the safe psi on a stock setup...I am sure it has been covered on NICO some where. Try doing a search and try reading some of the stickies.

Any way, I hope I kinda helped. I just hope some one sees this and gives you a much better answer then I could have.
