I would agree with pretty much most of that being spot on! Depressing but realistic
The other option is possibly a HKS 2853pros or 3037pros (but I believe they are both now discontinued) or a HKS GTRS kit which might just make it to 270rwkw if pushed
Something that will disappoint bradsm87 and other people who instantly assume things will be better...

I messaged STATUS before buying one of these, he noted that all the turbos he has worked on are still going strong and that one is being used for track work. I also read through pretty much every single forum on the net with topics on the turbos and couldn't find any documented failures of any kind.
From their website;
I have faith but only time will tell
Yeah probably a better option for a standard manifold!
Will probably rip off the turbo and manifold in the middle of the year and get them double black ceramic coated now I know the settup works really well
Make sure you get a T4 divided rear on the T04Z and also a divided manifold!
I had the same setup on a 2.6L and it was a weapon, should be awesome with the extra 600cc
Good luck, I'll keep a close eye one it
Any reason for Powerplus? I just went Sucrogen because it was cheaper
Did yoda tune it? I'm thinking about taking my car down there for a run on the dyno because I know he will love it haha
How much was the Zeitronix unit if I may ask?
LOL FUUUUUUUU
Yeah the latch seems to leave a few mm gap when it is in the "closed" position... When enough force is added (through brutal gear changes) it just squeezes through the gap.
The latch isn't opening, just dodgy clearances... DAMN NISSANS
Yeah technically more power and torque top end but will still get the same torque drop off...
You can see this in my old RB20 graph, drops from just over 500 at 5100 down to 360 at 7250
563-440 is a drop of 120nm and thats between 5000-6800 so 1800rpm
523-470 is a drop of 53nm and thats between 4600-7800 so 3200rpm
So mine only drops half the torque over twice the rev range...
Plus I'd imagine it's going to be a lot worse when I do a run from 1500rpm and get boost 600rpm earlier than the graph posted
