So I was at the Naples meet

[04.350z]

I was at the Naples meet on Friday. And a guy named AJ comes up to me and says would you like to buy my turbonetics single turbo kit off me for three grand Installed.

So i walk over and look at the kit its got a upgraded bov and wg both were Tial.
And had a turbo XS intercooler and ECU.

Then he offers me his ACT clutch for and extra 200 bucks. I cant remember which one off the top of my head.

So he says he has a performance shop somewhere in Fort Myers that just opened. I think he said it was called Performance Factory. He says he used to work at forged performance in Orlando.

I did some Research on My350z.com and he had some good work and some work that was constantly breaking but he did always fix everything for free.

Any opinions or suggestions?
Or heard of him or his shop.

From what you told us that night, the turbo throws down hard. Seems pretty legit from what you said at the meet on Friday.

3k for the turbo kit installed isnt bad....until the motor grenades and you have to spend 15k to get it back up and running again :rofl1::rofl1:

[blackjti]

damn only 3k for a turbo kit installed? what size turbo is it .. and does it need software afterwords and can he tune it as well?

Is this the same Turbonetics single kit that Eric uses in the white one?

yeah he said it had the software. And he said he can tune it as well. But he said if we could get on a dyno it would be alot better. i believe he said it was a t3/t4 60trim? dont quote me on that

not entirely sure but this one has some upgrades

[ericr33914]

Yes, I have the same kit. His name is Jeremy and he used to work at performance factory in Orlando, not forged performance. Anyways, he is a cool guy and 3k installed is a pretty good deal. Its a decent kit for a stock motor, and as long as you get it tuned it will be fine.

:cool:

[04.350z]

he told me his name was AJ but whatever.
I might do it or i might buy new rims im not sure.
But his car sounded like it was about to die

[ericr33914]

hmm, so the guy was actually driving a 350? im not sure who that is then, because jeremy doesn't have a 350z anymore.

[Buds4me578]

were do you guys meet at in Naples? when?

[VTC_WS6]

Friday nights, corner of Immokalee and Airport in the Sweetbays lot (far end away from Sweetbays)

If you are talking about AJ the guy in the beat up Z that has the bronze wheel's do yourself a favor and Don't buy that kit off him. He has abused the shit out of that thing for years now. He had the turbonetics kit from when it first came out and he drifts his car alot. He's had probably replaced the turbo 3 times by now since that thing fails so bad. Also he used to be the mechanic at Performance Factory under Jeremy Tibbs. Now Jeremy is working for Tom aka Coach at Ultimate Perfomance in Ft Myers off Daniels and Treeline. Not sure if AJ is working for him also since they are a new shop and I'm sure they don't have a ton of business yet to have an extra guy there.

Do youself a favor going cheap with boost is asking for problems. Do it right the first time and you'll be good to go. And no you don't need a built motor to do it right, just the right components and a good tune. I have over 15k miles on my turbo and I'm stock blocked with no issues at all. Not even a check engine light.

[michael350z]

Yes z2envy is right AJ is working with Jeremy and coach. He was there when I went to see the shop a couple of weeks ago.

[04.350z]

aight well i was going to buy the power labs kit anyways just thought i would see what others said.

[z2envy]

Trust me you won't be disapointed by the PowerLab kit at all. If you want to check it out in person let me know I work in naples and only been to the naples meet once but I'd make a trip for you to check it out. I think I'm the only person in Cape/Ft myers with it since I have yet to see anyone else with it around here.

[04.350z]

I saw a blue z with the vertex kit that i think had the powerlabs kit but i could be wrong
