Amazing man, thanks for being the only boosted G37 to update us.. All the others seemed to go MIA

Did you notice any "wrong" boost numbers from leak in the wastegate? Like 9psi map only topping 8 or so?

no loss of power from what i can tell. The leak is very tiny - more like seepage really from the gasket that seals the wastegate to whatever it connects to. The small amount of black soot that was forming around the flange is really the only indication. Frank had mentioned that it was not a concern but just something that should be looked at. He knows how meticulous I am with my car so it will be addressed and reselaed on the next oil change.

That just means all is good.

We only hear about it when one breaks.

How long do you plan on the engine lasting with these kind of numbers. I am guessing that you are going to rebuild at some point? I love the setup can't wait to get mine. Can you hear the blow off valves clear??

UPDATE

24k Miles, and no issues. I did have my airbags replaced though they failed Three times, Sensor came on and they replaced the sensor like a year ago, then 2 weeks ago they replaced the entire airbag unit. But a couple days ago the light came on again this time flashing red, so its back there for a thrid time.

as far as the turbo kit goes, 24k and still going strong, I replace my oil every 2k and have the car inspected at Fanks hills garage. Everything looks good and no issues.

I am glad you update with your experience. It seems everyone that goes TT either puts it up for sale or goes missing. I just got my GTM Stage 2 TT kit installed on my 370z. Letting Baker Tuning keep it for a few days to make sure everything is 100%. Dont think I will be ripping my boost up to 12psi though What psi do you normally drive on?
