I'm not 100% yet. My kit was shipped with some things incorrect and since I didn't know the difference never saw that they weren't right. e.g. Mass Air bung backwards and the original reducer was basically straight through. So for the first 50-100 miles I was getting 80-100psi oil to the turbo seals. Not good. I'll post a review when it's 100% sorted.

i had an 07 VW Gti 2.0T - same deal, the exhaust had smoke coming out of it when you hit it real hard, and so has every other turbo/superchargerd car i have ever raced or seen driven hard, they just blow fumes out the back - you'll probably see some oil consumption down the line, i def had it. good luck, id LOVE to have a Turbo on my g37 lol but then it wouldnt have the "reliability" that an Infiniti comes with lol

I think it all depends on the tuner/installer. Some say GTM's work is more reliable than OEM lol

yea, external wastegate and open dump pipe. i believe the open dump was because my exhaust was not made yet. sam said they are shipping it today so *crosses fingers* can get that boost controller in soon!

I think they're trying to make you regret not installing it at GTM lol
