Well once the G has been around for over a decade and they stop making them these forums will have "caught up".

Awesome thread. I'm subb'd for progress on this and i'm glad G37Stampa is doing this...I'd like to see the potential of the VQ as well and I think the community will learn a lot from this build. Keep at it.

BTW, those pipes are sex.

Maybe this has been addressed already.. but as there any issues given the huge difference in intake temperatures?

I can only image how hot the intake temps get on the passenger side passing the exhaust side of the turbo.

I would think that would create a nightmare within the block... and tuning???

The car was running on the dyno last night for some preliminary passes and things are looking good.
