You are going to need to do a lot of research first of all man. Your second gen altimas has no fuel management support so you are looking at some turning with bare minimum of a FMU and SAFC, or standalone. But to answer your questions a T3/T4 is the best for our cars, that is what all of us turbo altimas are running.

If you decide to go turbo, you have a couple options. you can swap out your intake manifold with the OBDI w/ the wiring harness and ecu that way you can upgrade the ecu with jim wolf technology.
Another thing that you could do is go stand alone, which not many people do b/c of the fact that it is really hard to tune.
The last thing that you can do is what i am planning on doing is going with the vortech FMU and some 370cc injectors with a 225 walbro fuel pump. Hal the guy with the turbo maxima with 500 whp has that same kind of setup if i have been informed correctly. so those are pretty much your options.
if you decide to turbo it with stock internals the maximum amount of boost that the KA can hold is 10psi. so it is your decision. good luck man.

First of all most people don't go standalone because it is so expensive. There are plenty of people out there who can tune standalones. But you are going to need to do some dyno tuning no matter what unless you swap out your intake mani, ecu and wiring harness to a 93-96 intake mani, ecu and harness. That is a lot of work. AEM supposedly has a plug and play stand alone system coming out for altimas in the near future and has a 1500 price tag of so, still expensive, but not as bad as standalone prices right now.

AltyDriver you are right onThe price tag on the AEM is not bad compared to the TEC3 which is like 2400. Then you have to have someone to install it and then tune it. At least with the AEM it is plug n play and comes with a base map to get you going. Right now it's probably the best bang for your buck
