I would personally get the Greddy twin turbo, they are showing lower HP gains, because they have the boost turned down, but those turbos can go much higher than what they are showing. With twin turbo set ups you normally get your boost pressures at a lower RPM, which is why I would get it. The twin kit is cheaper on the Turbo-kit site than it is on the intensepower site. Also it says that the twin turbo kit can handle higher HP numbers than the single kit.

I don't know about that, but if you look at the greddy kit, it says it gets 100+ off of 5.6 psi and the other kit says 140+ off of 8psi. Since I've read about these turbos (TD05)doing more than 8psi, I would have to say get the TT.

From what I can tell, no, not a direct fit. On the other hand, the piping can be modified as needed to fit the sedan. I've read many threads about people putting Coupe only Superchargers and Turbos onto the G35 Sedan.

Unless you are building up the motor, you can't assume the motor will be able to make the power a turbo boasts as it's max without knowing how they will run at the boost pressure required to attain that HP level. You must look at the turbo's compressor maps as they will tell you how efficiently the turbo will be making boost and in many cases, whether or not the motor and turbo will actually ever be able to reach the turbo's rated peak power. This applies regardless of if it's a single or twin turbo.

Secondly, if you are going to boast the Greddy's turbo's potential, then you should do the same with the Turbonetics as well. The T60-1 can flow enough air to reach 600HP with the right motor and boost levels.

I would consider the big picture in this decision as well. The Turbonetics kit is much easier to install as it does not require the replacement of the exhaust manifolds. It's probably the easiest turbo kit to install on any RWD VQ. This can be particularly important if you plan to remove it later even just for smog purposes.

The Turbonetics kit places the turbo where the airbox normally is so it's a highly visible kit. There is some bling factor with it along with the very nice looking black chrome piping. The turbonetics kit does remove the catalytic converter and can probably be smelled by a cop that decides to drive behind you. Neither kit is legal in CA though. The lack of the cat on the Turbonetics kit does improve response and flow over a kit with the same turbo set-up that has a cat, so it may have a slight advantage over the Greddy Kit there. The Greddy kit places the turbos closer to the exhaust ports so they have an advantage there. But the Turbonetics kit uses a ball-bearking turbo. I don't think there are any mitsu-turbos that are ball-bearing. I haven't checked this fact in a while though. There's some give and take with each kit. Just decide what's best for you.

No matter what kit you get make sure you install a turbo timer. Shutting down your engine without giving your turbo(s) time to cool is detrimental to the life span of the turbo.

This is true of oil-cooled turbos. Water-cooled virtually eliminates this issue. Not that the Greddy or Turbonetics kits are watercooled.
